Welcome back, cupcakes!

Or, to be properly grammatical, "Welcome back cupcakes," but I liked the idea of cupcakes going away and being welcomed back. These are by Kati's Kupcakes of Moorestown, New Jersey, via Flickr. Visit katiskupcakes.com for ordering information.

Sweet Avenue Bake Shop puts Steve Jobs on front of webpage, will donate $1 from apple pie cupcakes to The Gateway for Cancer Research

The graphic below is on the front page of Rutherford, New Jersey cupcake bakery Sweet Avenue Bake Shop, with this statement:



Steve Jobs started Apple the same way we started Sweet Avenue—From home, with little money and even less experience. Apple has always been an integral part of our personal and professional lives, from the iPhones and MacBooks we use to run our business, to the Apple TV that plays our movies, to the fact that Jake worked for Apple prior to us opening Sweet Avenue.

We don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Sweet Avenue might not be the same without the company and devices that Steve Jobs built, so from now through Sunday, instead of offering a Magical Mystery flavor, we'll be donating a dollar from every Apple Pie cupcake sold to benefit cancer research in Steve's honor. Funds will be donated to Gateway for Cancer Research.

Thanks, Steve. We'll miss you.





The apple cake is an apple cake with fresh apple pie filling and cream cheese frosting.
