F.A.Q.s

 

Do you offer vegan cupcakes?

Yes, we do! We bake one vegan flavor on Mondays, and one on Fridays. As the demand for vegan options grows, we will add more flavors to our weekly rotation.

 
What is in your cupcakes?

We get asked this question a lot! While we won’t give out our recipes (you’d have to be a member of the family for that!), we can tell you that we bake all of our creations from scratch using only the finest ingredients. We never use shortening in our cupcakes or frostings, and using artificial flavors would never cross our minds! We use real butter, real fruits, and pure vanilla. We even go a step further in using baking powder that does not contain aluminum (sure, it is more expensive, but who wants metal in their cupcake?).  In fact, only one of our cupcakes contains an artificial ingredient, and that is our version of Red Velvet which contains red coloring.

 
Your cupcakes seem smaller than the “other guy’s”, what’s the deal with that?

The truth is, cupcake pans and papers come in one standard size (with the exception of those ginormous “Costco” size creations), and those are what we all use. So, while our cupcakes aren’t really smaller than the “other guy’s”, the fact that we use all natural ingredients might make some of them seem smaller. Unlike “other guys”, we don’t use things that “inflate” our cupcakes - like shortening and excess leavening.  

 
Do you make gluten-free cupcakes?

Yes, we do. However, we currently only offer GF by special order with a one dozen minimum. Please call or visit for available flavors.

 
Do you sell day old cupcakes?

No. All of our cupcakes are baked fresh every morning. If we have any remaining at the end of the day, they are donated to a local shelter.

 
Do you ship your cupcakes?

Unfortunately, no. The only way to enjoy our fabulous cupcakes (for now) is to visit us in person.

 
Do you deliver?

Yes, we do! For a small fee we can deliver in Davis, or to nearby locations. Please call us for details.

 
Some of your flavors contain alcohol. Isn’t that dangerous?

Some of our flavors do contain alcohol or liqueurs, but they are completely harmless. Alcohol evaporates at 173° F, and since we bake our cupcakes at a much higher temperature the only thing that remains is the flavor.


$2.75 seems kind of pricey for a cupcake. Why are they so expensive?

Believe it or not, we really did our research when it came to pricing our product. The big name cupcake bakeries charge from $3.25 to $4.00 each, and $36 per dozen, for their cupcakes. Other local cupcake places charge from $2.50 - $2.75 each (one charges $3.00 each for "premium" flavors), and $30 per dozen. We priced our cupcakes to not only be competitive, but also to account for our premium ingredients. However, we stopped short of charging our customers extra if we choose to use $30 cognac in one of our cupcakes. Our customers deserve the best, and we promise they'll get it at a fair price!
