What Are We Going To Blog About Now?

We just recieved word from Grubstreet that the beloved Buttercream Cupcake Truck will soon enter partial hibernation for the winter. Owner and self-proclaimed "Cupcake Lady," Kate writes:

I started this business thinking I would grow slowly, one cupcake at a time, and by next spring, I would be up to capacity. Didn't happen that way! As soon as I started, demand was much higher than I could keep up with and I have been pushing myself to try to keep up. We had to switch kitchens for more room! We hired more staff. I was flying by the seat of my pants without a real plan.

Unfortunately, I have now gotten myself sick and run down. Cupcake Truck is old and probably not able to do all the driving I have been demanding. To give me and the old girl time to plan and recoup, here is our plan going forward:

From now until February 15, 2010, we are going to be on a limited schedule of 3 stops per week, wednesday, thursday and fridays. I am going to take that time to rebuild the engine of cupcake truck, get a great plan going, incorporate and all that good stuff.

Get well soon Cupcake Lady and Truck. We are sorry if our extensive promotion of your business in some way contributed to its demise. It's just that your cupcakes are so delicious!
