We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on May 17, 2012.

Cupcake Quarterly is on the way to our warehouse!

Update #20 · Oct 5, 2012 · comment

Hello to all of our supporters and friends!  

During the past several weeks, we have been dealing with an issue with the printing that would have prevented us from giving you a PERFECT magazine, which we would never accept. So yes, the project has been delayed, but it is ON THE WAY TO US! 

We assure you all that it is indeed 100% still happening and will be in your hands soon! Don't worry - we know you are going to love this and all future issues of the magazine. 

This Kickstarter project was not done as the current "trend"of pre-selling copies of an already finished product.  Your investment dollars allowed us to secure the equipment, talent, and production that made this happen - we all created this together!  You didn't just buy something off the shelf.

The good news is, now we know the measures to take to ensure perfection for our upcoming issues.  Thank you for bearing with us and showing your patience, as we are a start-up company!

We can't wait to get the copies into our warehouse and then into your hands, and we are all set up to ship as quickly as humanly possible (again, start-up company) once it arrives!

Xoxoxoxoxo,
Cupcake Quarterly Magazine

Production Update #2!

Update #19 · Aug 10, 2012 · 4 comments

Due to the popularity of the magazine and adding so many more beautiful images to both Issue 1 and the Special Edition, production is taking longer than we expected.  With updated printing and shipping times, we are looking at receiving the magazine in our warehouse in September.  A message will be sent out to everyone once it starts shipping to you!

Thank you for your support and understanding!

Love and Kisses,
Cupcake Quarterly <3
