Frosted in Glass!

Our glass storefront was installed today! It's starting to look like Frosted. We're so excited to see it all come together. We'll have more photos tomorrow.

Minis and More!

Where do we start...so many things to fill you in on. A new store and our Monthly Mini Social!

We've been busy building out our new Frosted location in Hollywood! Here's an early photo of what our new home used to look like...
And here's a hint at our progress...
We'll have even more to share later this week. It's an exciting time for our Frosted family. It was this time last year that we moved into our 2nd street location and now only one year later, we're opening another shop!! It truly is a dream come true for us and largely due to the fantastic team we work with every day. We'll be opening our doors at 1200 n. highland avenue sometime next week. We'll keep you posted.

On that note, we're currently hiring our new LA Frosted team! We're looking to fill all positions from frosters to bakers. If you are interested in working with us, please send all inquiries and resumes to simone@frostedcupcakery.com.

On to even more delicious news. Tomorrow is the 1st of December which means it's Monthly Mini Social time again! We'll be serving a Gingerbread mini with Lemon Buttercream. Come try it for FREE from 5-8pm, while supplies last.

Happy to be a Part of the Payback!

As avid art fans, we are ecstatic about our participation in THE art event of the month, maybe year. Juxtapoz Magazine is celebrating their 15th Anniversary with an art auction called "The Big Payback" benefiting the Powerhouse Project of Detroit. Here's some information on the event, provided by charitybuzz.com:

WHY: Proceeds from “The Big Payback” auction will support the goal of purchasing five homes and employing local Detroit contractors, electricians, plumbers, and carpenters to perform the renovations. Selected artists will also be invited to participate in the remodeling. The event aims to raise the consciousness of both the problems of people disenfranchised by the nation’s economic crisis, as well as encourage a sense of community in the art world and inspire people to effect positive social change in their own communities.

WHO: Juxtapoz Art & Culture Magazine celebrates its 15th anniversary with “The Big Payback,” an online charity art auction and a special event in Los Angeles hosted by Upper Playground. The event benefits the non-profit Power House Project of Detroit.

WHAT: “The Big Payback” auction features original artwork from over 100 national and internationally renowned contemporary artists including: Matthew Barney, Swoon, CR Stecyk III, Robert Williams, Todd Schorr, Estevan Oriol, Mister Cartoon, Shepard Fairey, Doze Green, Todd “Reas” James, Thomas Campbell, Tim Biskup, KR, Big Daddy Roth, WK Interact, Clayton Brothers, Andrew Schoultz, James Jean, Ron English, Craola, David Choe, Mike Giant, Paul Insect, Jeremy Fish, Alex Pardee, Saber, David Ellis, Boogie, D*Face, Cody Hudson, Herbert Baglione.

All proceeds from the auction to be donated to the Power House Project to help purchase and renovate foreclosed and abandoned homes in the Detroit area.

In celebration of the auction and Juxtapoz’s 15th anniversary, Upper Playground will host an exclusive event in Los Angeles on November 14, 2009 to view the featured artwork on display and meet with the contributing artists.

Best Cupcakes in LA...

We've been spreading the word about our nomination for Best Cupcakes in LA on MyFoxLA's Hot List. We'd love to win 1st place for the 2nd time, but we need your votes to do it! Please click here to vote. Tomorrow is the last day to cast your vote.

Our nomination comes just in time for our debut in LA. We've been hard at work planning our new store opening in Hollywood for a few months now but we are finally getting close to opening! It looks like late this month our LA friends and customers will have a much shorter drive to get a Frosted cupcake. Our new location will be on N. Highland Avenue just south of Sunset. We'll keep you posted as we get closer to opening day. Winning Best Cupcakes in LA for the 2nd time would be a great way to make our mark in our new neighborhood!

Big Day for Blogs

We're all still talking about what a fabulous event Audrey threw at Urbanic for the launch of Oh Joy!'s stationary collection! Just wanted to share the amazing photos taken by Max Wanger and pass along a couple more links for your viewing pleasure. Take a look at Oh Joy! and Parcel Post for more photos and commentary on the evening. These ladies sure know how to do a blog right!

And our excitement doesn't stop there...we've been following Cupcakes Take the Cake since the conception of Frosted back in 2005. So you can imagine our joy when a tweet from CupcakeBlog popped up on our screen, spotlighting Frosted Cupcakery. What an honor!!

We promise it's not bragging, just so happy to be in such great company on all the blogs that we love to look at every day!

Cupcakes and Champagne for Joy!

Last Thursday we had the privilege of participating in and attending a launch party for Joy's stationary collection, of Oh Joy!, for Chronicle Books. The event was at the most adorable and inspiring stationary store in Venice, CA, Urbanic.
We provided a myriad of mini cupcake flavors, including personal favorites of Joy herself. It was a champagne and cupcake social. What a perfect duo to celebrate with.
We've already told you what big fans we are of Joy's design blog and food blog, so we won't bore you with more gushy admiration, but there were a few more people at the the event that we need to tell you about. The enjoyment didn't stop at the food and drinks, Photobooth Love provided a photobooth lined with an Oh Joy! wallpapered background. Such a cute idea for an event keepsake. The lovely floral arrangements were courtesy of JL Designs. We were so happy to be in such great company. Check out more photos from the event here.

Knot your Average Wedding!

We are often blessed with meeting really fantastic couples planning fabulously unique wedding receptions. One couple in particular was such a treat to work with, we're still talking about how cute the display of cupcakes turned out. And today we found out we aren't the only ones who think so! Take a look at what the Knot had to say.

We love it when couples take the time to include their personality in their presentation. Andrea and Robert carried out their color theme from the tier to the top of the cupcakes and the end result is adorable. We LOVED working with them and wish them the very best.
