A giant leap

About 6 months ago, I began an adventure in baking cupcakes.

It all started in my kitchen at home, with family, friends and co-workers becoming taste-testers and cupcake critics.  I had been baking all my life, so it couldn't be that hard could it?  Buttercream meringue frosting should be a cinch!  Peanut butter batter?  No problem!

Days, weeks and months went by...thousands of cupcakes baked... and finally, the perfect recipes blossomed into delicious treats.  Fewer and fewer experiments ended up in the trash, and more and more samples were being requested.  My passions for baking and creating beautiful things blended together to become city girl cupcakes.

Instead of flying solo, I have a great team to share the journey.  Sample requests have turned into orders and we are now seeking out commercial space to get our product out to the masses.  Business plans are being written, business cards printed...less time in the kitchen right now and more leg work.

Our cupcake diary is a part of the plan.  In it we'll be sharing ideas for baking, crafting and incorporating simple, lovely things into your life.

We are taking a giant leap and as we go through the process of launching a dream,  we want you to leap with us!!  Come along for the ride.  It'll be sweet!
