Cupcakory is a new cupcake truck roaming Boston, Massachusetts! Yay food trucks. Follow them @Cupcakory on Twitter and on Facebook (where you can see more photos of their cupcakes) for the latest news, and you can also reach them at info at cupcakory.com or 857-225-3011.

Today's update: "Here at BU till 3 with salted caramel, lemon coconut, Creamsicle, lemon on vanilla"

Weekly schedule (but check their social media to be sure):

Tuesdays & Thursdays BU, 602 Comm Ave outside Morse Auditorium
Wednesdays Back Bay, corner of Stuart & Trinity Place near John Hancock
Fridays: Northeastern, corner of Heminway & Forsyth







From Northeastern University News:

The sweet treat on wheels – which joins the ranks of a handful of other food trucks popping up in Boston – also makes stops in Back Bay and on Boston University’s campus.

“My dream is to make as much money selling cupcakes as I did in publishing,” said DeMarco, who bakes the tiny desserts with locally sourced and organic ingredients in a community kitchen in Jamaica Plain. "I've baked my entire adult life," she added, "but i don't like to cook."

Last Friday, Cupcakory drew a small crowd of foodies. Customers loved the rich selection, which included salted caramel on chocolate cake and chocolate frosting on vanilla cake. A half-dozen cupcakes go for $16.50.

A few weeks ago, The Boston Globe ran a story about a new food truck initiative in Boston, whereby food trucks would claim permanent locations:

On Tuesday, Mayor Thomas M. Menino announced that "food trucks are ready to serve 'wicked good food' on Boston’s streets with 15 new permanent locations in several neighborhoods." The announcement said that the food trucks would rotate between locations in the Back Bay, South End, Fenway/Kenmore, and other neighborhoods starting July 13, 2011.

Bowling cupcakes and cake pops by 1 Fine Cookie!

One of our favorite food blogs, 1 Fine Cookie, has done it again. Click here to read all about their bowling adventures! I love that these cupcakes and cake pops were made for a custom birthday order and a lot of thought and care were truly put into them (love the dragees on the bowling ball and the little initials!). Photos via Flickr. From the post:

I created bowling shoes, bowling pins and bowling ball cookies as toppers on the cupcakes.

Everything in red and blue, Carl and Mike’s favorite colors.

The frosting on the cupcakes was the biggest hit there.

I use a secret recipe that tastes unlike any frosting out there.





Read more at 1 Fine Cookie. I think I want to hire them to make my birthday cupcakes (in November) so I can taste this secret recipe for myself!
