    Update number 2 Thanks for all who supported us! We have been doing business for 20 months now! Our kitchen took over a year to complete, and final inspection took place in November of 2011. We are now open by appointment and asset up at many local events. Most all of you have taken advantage of your rewards for helping us get started, if you have not you can still contact us at the email below. I will be posting pictures of the Kitchen soon! This year has been a busy one, averaging several hundred cupcakes a week. This year looks promising with many events and weddings lined up. Our first show of the season will be an Art show at the B&O Station downtown Youngstown (530 mahoning

    Posted project update #1

    Enjoy Cupcakes Update 6-21

    We want to thank everyone who got the word out about our project and gave to it too. Rewards will be going out the next couple of weeks. We will be contacting you via email for shipping and size info.

    We are getting quotes from several electricians and plumbers and someone to frame the room. We are temporarily using a church in Campbell, OH to bake our treats and selling them at Artie Gras events (at the Quaker Steak and Lube's in Austintown OH on Wednesdays and Sharon PA on Thursdays 6-10). We are also doing special events like weddings, graduations, showers, etc.

    We had huge success at the recent Artists of the Rustbelt show in Downtown Youngstown.

    If all goes well we hope to open in early September.

    There will be more updates soon.

    -enjoy
