Featuring: Dainty Cupcakes LA

The newest trend in the food world is food trucks. I'll admit it...I love them. Unfortunately though, I've only tried the meal trucks (Louks To Go [you must try the honey feta fries!] and Kogi BBQ). A cupcake truck is right up my alley, but there aren't very many of them.



When I read about Dainty Cakes LA on food is my nish, I was excited to see another cupcake truck besides Sprinkles roaming around the LA area! Their website lists the flavors available (45 of them!) and prices ($3), but it's not up to date with the schedule. Also, food is my nish didn't give a great review, but said that she needs to review again to be certain of her opinion.

I think the key to being a successful dessert truck is teaming up with another food truck and working the same locations together. I'm pretty sure people would be crowding a cupcake truck after chowing down on some Kogi BBQ tacos.

I wish Dainty Cakes good luck and I hope they make it down to Orange County in the future.

Frostings Gets a Truck...well, a Van

Looks like the Sprinkles truck idea is catching on (although Frostings owner Janel Mitchell told the Fast Food Maven she had this idea long before the Sprinkles truck started roaming the streets). Frostings, a new cupcakery in Lake Forest that I reviewed about a month ago, has their own version of the Sprinkles truck. But the Frostings van is way cooler-looking, it is actually a restored 1933 Helms Bakery van.

The van can hold up to 800 cupcakes and will sell Simply Vanilla, Simply Chocolate, Red Velvet, Birthday Cake, Bordeaux, and Vanilla Coconut cupcakes. The cupcakes will be sold for $3.25, the same as the store price. The pricing is better than Sprinkles cupcakes, which are sold at a premium from their Sprinkles truck.

You can find Frosting's spiffy cupcake van at the Rancho Mission Viejo Rodeo this weekend. Once they are ready for full-use of the van business, they will let us know by Facebook and Twitter where they will be. Come to the Orange Circle...that's where I will be waiting!

(P.S. Did I mention that I loved Frostings cupcakes?! Some of the best I've had!)
