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.

Oh Joy for Happy Lady Eats!!
A fantastic lady over at Oh Joy! has started a new blog, Happy Lady Eats, specializing in all things yummy in taste and sight! I've been a loyal follower of her design blog for quite some time, so the advent of a new blog dedicated to food is something to rejoice about. And if that wasn't enough good news....we've been mentioned!! Our Original Ice Cream Cupcake has been spotlighted.
Thank you Joy!!
Thank you Joy!!

Delighted to be Bitten!
So it's been a while, please forgive us! I feel like an apology is nearly immanent every few months, as I regularly fall behind in my communications. It's just like the gym, as soon as you spend even a day away, it's terribly hard to get back into it. With twitter and facebook and blogspot, oh my, how does one spend any time in the physical world!
Well, on to the Delightful news! A wonderfully sweet blogger posted about her recent visit to Frosted. Check out her blog, The Delightful Bite, or read on...
This weekend my friend from Philly happened to be in Long Beach visiting her old roommate, so I thought I'd join them for a girl's weekend of drinking, debauchery, and of course massive guilt-free sugar consumption. After a lovely evening in which we were the absolute role models to young ladies everywhere, we grabbed some lunch in Belmont Shore and decided we deserved a hard-earned sweet fix. Luckily, Frosted Cupcakery was just across the street, and came recommended by our Long Beach resident friend.
I know that right now the big fads are "fro-yo" and cupcakes (of the two weddings I have attended this year, both have had cupcakes in place of a cake) so I was interested to see just what made these cupcakes so special. They had a nice selection of about 15 different varieties out, and I can assure you that every single one looked amazing. I was torn between a few, but ultimately settled on the Cookies n' Cream cupcake.
One (of many) thing(s) that I truly enjoyed about this cupcake was their masterful application of frosting. Here in America we are trained to think bigger is better, and more more more is preferred! It's sickening to see a stale, shabby looking cupcake with a mountain of frosting to try and disguise its poor exterior and bland flavor by relying on a never-ending swirl of mediocre sugar piled on top. This cupcake was moist and obviously had homemade icing gracing the top in a perfect amount of sweet goodness to fill the mouth.
Other selections were the Chocolate/Peanut Butter Buttercream and Red Velvet/Cream Cheese cupcakes, and since I have the best, most generous friends ever, I got to sample both in the name of food blogging. All of them were equally moist, fresh, light and still filling without having to depend on cheap sugar rush or artificial flavors to satisfy my sweet tooth.
On a nerdy design note, their interior designer and product designers are to be commended for their bang-up jobs making the interior feel modern and cozy, with matching packaging that really captures the spirit of whimsy that their branding just screams. Be sure to check out their blog as well for more eye-catching stuff!
Jess Pollard didn't have to think twice about her selection. The Orange/Cream Cheese cupcake she held in her hands disappeared in less time than is appropriate. I can't judge, I was the first to finish, even with my sneaked bites!
All in all, I completely get the cupcake fad. I can only hope it's here to stay!

Monthly Mini Social, Pass it On!
We are quickly approaching summer's end, I know I know, we are all hating the thought! It's only a matter of time before the back to school campaigns flood our television sets and radio stations. In order to curb the end of summer blues, our August Flavor of the Month is going to keep you in the summer spirit! It's the return of Pineapple Coconut! This time we've made it even better, with a pineapple coconut cake and pineapple coconut cream cheese frosting. We're pretty sure it's going to be a fast favorite. But just to hedge our bets, we've decided to start a new monthly event...
This Saturday, August 1st, will be the debut of our Monthly Mini Social! From 12-3pm, while supplies last, we'll be handing out FREE MINIS of our new Flavor of the Month (one per customer, of course).
We'll be continuing this Social every month, on the first of the month, for a 3 hour period. We'll keep you updated every month through our website, this blog, facebook and twitter so make sure you are checking in with us regularly and subscribe to FrostedTweets at www.twitter.com.
We hope to see you this Saturday at our 2nd Street location. Since this is our very first Social, we may run out. Come early if you want to get a taste of a flavor that has already earned a fan base just by the shear mention of it's return!
Oh and while you are visiting, mention that you love Frosted and we'll give you a free bumper sticker. With excitement like this, who's thinking about Fall?!
Save the Date: August 1st, 12-3pm!

Busy Busy Weekend...
Maybe it was the date, 7/11, or maybe it was the weather, but for whatever reason the Frosted kitchen was bustling. Here are a couple photos from just one of the many orders we filled this weekend. 
Thanks to the Frosted team for working so hard when it's all we can do to avoid the temptations of the ocean breeze and beautiful sunshine.
