12 Tin Cupcakery in Niagara Falls is now officially open!

12 Tin Cupcakery just opened in Niagara Falls, Ontario (Canada) - my apologies, I'd meant to post about this last week because they had a grand opening Saturday with free cupcakes, but time got away from me. You can follow them @12tincupcakery on Twitter as well as on Facebook. They have a cupcake schedule (see Facebook) as well as a "wild card" flavor, which changes.

I find writing on cupcakes incredibly adorable (same for Peppa Pig!)

One of my favorite things about cupcakes, aside from how they taste, is that they are a blank slate for both artwork of the visual and culinary variety, and to send a message of any kind, whether for a holiday, birthday, event, corporate cupcakes, whatever your fancy. And Sale, UK cupcake company Jellytots & Dollymixtures has some wonderful examples on their Facebook page, from love to thank you to teachers' names to insurance! Contact them at info at jellytotsanddollymixtures.co.uk or 0161 637 2199 and visit them at www.jellytotsanddollymixtures.co.uk/ for more information.
