Some Like it Hot!

We're starting July off with a bang with the return of our Red Hot Cinnamon Buttercream on our Royal White cake. It's a personal favorite of mine, so I'm always excited for it's comeback. It would definitely be a great addition to your 4th of July BBQ. It's only going to be here for a short time, so make sure you get in to try this unique flavor before next week.
But that's not all, we've dressed our vanilla and chocolate buttercreams in their patriotic best. Red, White and Blue decorations will be in our case through the 4th of July. Stop in to pick up a dozen for your Independence Day festivities or call ahead and have an order ready for you.
We'll be closing at 5pm on Saturday, the 4th, in order to allow our staff to celebrate this holiday with their friends and family!

The Pink Elephant in the Room

If you've visited Frosted in the last 24 hours, you've seen the newest addition to the Frosted Family. We've purchased new and improved ovens that will help us keep up with our growing special order business and our ever increasing walk-in traffic. At this moment, the ovens are taking up real estate in our seating area. We'll be moving them into their permanent home this evening. In order to do this, we will be closing tonight at 8pm.

Please forgive us for any inconvenience.

Tiers for Cheers

A special part of getting your cupcakes from Frosted Cupcakery is that we offer serving tiers for you to display our cupcakes on. Our customers are often asking what they look like, so here they are.

The two different styles below are our most commonly ordered tiers. The $12 tier holds up to 2 dozen cupcakes and can be trimmed in up to 3 different colored ribbon. The $20 tier holds 3-4 dozen cupcakes and can be trimmed in up to 5 different colored ribbon. We make these tiers custom to match the theme of your event. We have ribbon swatches available to choose from and the tiers are made of a corrugated cardboard so they are yours to toss after use or reuse as often as you'd like....which we're hoping you'll do since they are durable enough for a couple party rounds. Please allow us 48 hours when placing your order and we do have a minimum purchase of cupcakes per tier. There is a 1 dozen minimum cupcake order for the $12 tier and a 2 dozen minimum cupcake order for the $20.

We have larger tiers to accommodate even bigger special orders, you can see our largest tier and one of our rental tiers here. If that weren't enough, we're getting new styles in later this week for orders of 5 dozen or more so we'll keep you posted!

It's Your Day, Earth

This Wednesday, April 22nd, is Earth Day! We'd like to honor the day by offering our customers an Earth-friendly Gift With Purchase. Purchase 6 cupcakes or more and get a free reusable shopping tote, one tote per purchase. We're offering this promotion from Wednesday through Thursday, April 30th, while supplies last. This tote fits our 6 box perfectly, but we're hoping you'll find even more uses for it. Take it to the beach, school, grocery store and even shopping at the mall. We can't wait to see our custom printed tote out and about!

Girlfriends and Cupcakes!

We're hosting a fundraiser this Saturday, April 18th, in honor of Girlfriends, a mentor group for teen girls. Kristi Heicki, the founder of Girlfriends, started this organization 2 years ago and has been making a huge difference in the lives of Long Beach's teen girls ever since. We're thrilled to be helping them raise money for their annual Girlfriends Conference and Girlfriends Summer Camp. Join us in supporting a non-profit group that is dedicated to providing positive female role models and mentors to introduce our teenage girls to new and exciting adventures.

Here's what we're doing to help! We'll be selling our very popular summer flavor of the month, Strawberry Lemonade, this Saturday. All of the proceeds from this cupcake's sales will go to Girlfriends. We introduced this cupcake last summer, a lemon cake with strawberry cream cheese frosting, and our customers have been asking for it's return ever since. This felt like the perfect occasion to offer a sneak peak! We'll definitely be offering it again this summer, so if you are a fan, this is just a taste of what's to come!

Kristi Heicki will also be stopping by for the event. She'll be at Frosted from 3-5pm with a table full of Girlfriends goodies! If you have a daugther, sister, neice, cousin or girlfriend between the ages of 11-15 years old, please consider coming by to learn more about Girlfriends.

The Wedding Planner

A couple weeks ago...yes, I know I've been a little behind, I promise we'll catch you up...Frosted celebrated the opening of a wedding and special events showroom called A Wedding Store. We can't recommend Linda's services enough. We've worked with her on a few weddings in the last couple years and we're excited to be a part of her new showcase. She's created a one-stop shop for those brides and grooms-to-be looking for highly recommended vendors from photographers to wedding favors (we've got some great favor offerings, we'll share with you soon)! Her new store is located on Ocean Blvd., in Long Beach, at the bottom floor of the Breakers Hotel. Here are some photos from the big event.

She's Peachy!

Remember scratch and sniff stickers? If you are like me, you scratched those stickers until all the sniff was gone. Well, our friend Gamie from Peach Mailbox makes the most adorable scented cupcake cards that will surely bring back those fragrant memories! We've been selling her cards for almost a year now and every season she comes up with the most delightful designs. Her attention to detail and design aesthetic fits right in at Frosted and we couldn't be happier to spread the word of her amazing talents.
She's offering the cutest Valentine's Day designs, from her original scented cupcake to Ferris Wheels and owls! With inscriptions like "i dig you" and "you're a hottie," we're certain your sweetheart will get the message loud and clear. Next time you are in for your cupcake fix, take a look at our Peach Mailbox card selection.
One last thing, Peach Mailbox creates amazing custom invitations as well. We have some examples of her custom work in our shop or you can contact Gamie directly through her website.
