Hi guys!
I'm doing some research and I was hoping you could be a good source since all of you are fun loving and fantastic people
I've been talking with some people about selling cupcakes and want to make them easy and delicious. I also want them to be attainable to many people. We are thinking about having a mobile cupcake business and are thinking about having four different types of cake: red velvet, yellow, chocolate, and one specialty flavor of the week. We want to have three different frostings: vanilla butter cream, chocolate butter cream, cream cheese (and possibly one specialty flavor to go with the specialty of the week).
We would possibly be having standard cupcakes and mini ones (which I call babycakes
).
Do you think you'd want to buy a cupcake if you saw a mobile truck selling cupcakes ?

But I am TOTALLY enthralled with the idea of your doing seasonal/holiday themes and flavors. I am a HUGE sucker for anything themed. Gee, I wonder if that is why I love 
That would be good. Peppermint cupcakes at holiday time.... Yum. Places like Sprinkles (over here in Beverly Hills) are HUGELY popular, and the lines are crazy. They even deliver to your home, but the prices are lofty. Crumbs is also another (East Coast-based) cupcake company that has begun to ship nationwide. So there is a big demand for that type of thing. I live in an area of town where there are a lot of office buildings all lumped together up and down this main street, and lots of entertainment companies are here, with young, hip people and bored, tired business people. Some of them are totally into eating healthy and skipping things (like cupcakes) unless they are totally made of the purest ingredients, and the other half are junk food junkies - the thicker and richer the frosting, the better. I can tell you that at many of these buildings, there are often either trucks/carts outside on the sidewalk selling snacks to people on their lunch breaks OR there are lone women setting up shop (after business hours) in the lobbies with just a couple of simple baskets of baked goods like cookies, muffins and pieces of cakes and selling them. People buy it! They love that stuff. So it wouldn't take much to find a market for cupcakes. You just have to - as previously stated - package them and present them in such a way where it looks legitimate. Nothing fancy or overly official. I mean, really, this lady I have seen in the lobbies of some of the buildings here just sits there with her baskets and all her products are wrapped in cellophane or Saran wrap or whatever, and it doesn't look all that 'official,' but people still buy them anyway.
