Cupcakes are just a fad, right?
HA! Never!! Bakery classics, like a cupcake, never go out of style. Think about it…yummy bites of cake and icing that will just make your day better. What’s not to love?
We have a delicious product and let us personally guarantee this: they. are. amazing! Soft, moist cake and icing with just the right amount of sweetness.
We currently rent commercial bakery space at The Cookery (insert supreme level of awesomeness here) in Durham, NC where we have access to any and all equipment we need to make these tasty treats. (thank you to the fine people at The Cookery!)
The only problem we have is that we don’t have a way to sell them individually to you, our favorite customers. Right now, we only take orders of 1 dozen or more cupcakes. We find this isn't really practical for someone that wants a try more than one flavor or they can’t control themselves around a dozen cupcakes. And who could, really?
We considered opening a retail location right away but the capital and risk involved was too much for our husbands (read: panic, acid reflux, heart palpitations, loss of hair, etc.)
Enter the food truck revolution! It’s big. It’s bold. It’s perfect! We tried to go big...that didn't work out as well. On to Plan B and she's a beaut!
Picture This: Retired. Mail. Jeep. We plan to upfit the inside with air conditioning and shelving plus put graphics on the outside. And, well, the day after we got her the brakes went. I mean, we COULD have lived with it but we didn't think you would respond well to catching cupcakes from a moving vehicle. It's for you, really.
This is where we need YOUR help.
To fund this project and help to get our cupcakes into more mouths in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area (over 3,000 square miles) we are asking to raise $4150 to cover the cost of the graphic design and installation, the brake job, air conditioning and some shelving.
I know, I know...we've been here before. Listen, we are willing to forego birthday and Christmas gifts for a really long time if you help us out.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for taking a look at this Indiegogo project. Please consider becoming one of our backers at any level. Every single dollar helps us to reach this goal.
Please feel free to share this project with your friends, family and cupcake lovers through Facebook, Twitter, sandwich boards, sign flippers, etc.
