OC's First Mobile Cupcakery

A few days ago I reported on Morsels Baking Company, a dessert/cupcake truck that will begin service in Orange and LA county in June. Well, what do you know?! Yesterday I found out that Oh For Sweets Sake will begin service this Saturday as Orange County's first mobile cupcakery!



I've actually never tried a cupcake from a cupcake truck yet, so I'm super excited to (hopefully) catch Oh For Sweets Sake on their first day of service! Their website lists lots of flavors such as Almond Joys, Key Lime, and Build Me Up Buttercake.

I'll keep you posted on their planned location(s) on Saturday. You can also find out more info on them here:

UPDATE: Oh For Sweets Sake will be at Santiago Art Walk in Santa Ana from 7-10pm Saturday night. Hope to see you there!

Fruit Pizza Cupcake

One of my family's favorite desserts is fruit pizza. You roll out cookie dough on a pizza pan. Bake it. Spread vanilla pudding as the sauce. Top with your favorite fruit.

Utah Loves Cupcakes directed me to a blog called Cravings, which featured a Fruit Pizza Cupcake. Similar idea. The cake is a fruit cake (not sure what kind, but any should do well). Spread some pudding or frosting. Add a sugar cookie, along with more pudding or frosting. Top with your favorite fruit. Yum! Thanks for the idea!

New Cupcake/Dessert Truck to Debut in Orange County

Last month I confessed my love for food trucks and wished for a cupcake truck to come to Orange County. Maybe my wish is coming true. The Fast Food Maven is reporting that Morsels Baking Company will be cruising around Orange and LA county starting in June.

This was the first I've heard about Morsels Baking Company. Apparently they are a dessert company and their menu includes: breakfast, cream puffs, cupcakes, desserts shots, bars & squares, and beverages.

I'm intrigued. You can follow them on twitter (@bakerytruck) or catch them on Facebook. I'll let you know when I first spot them in Orange County.


P.S. Don't forget to enter the giveaway for an Eco-Cupcake Stand. Entries must be received by Sunday.
