Dog Days

We are in the "dog days of summer" here in the Northern Hemisphere. Lazy days when it feels too warm to do anything other than nap. Or lounge by the water (be it a pool, lake, river or kiddie pool) with a book. It doesn’t have to be a good book; it could be a silly romance or a salacious biography. Just as long as it’s entertaining!

These are the days of summer vacations and time moving slowly – at least, for children. Remember when we were in elementary school and summer vacation seemed to last forever?

Some of our cupcake flavors really evoke summer. We have fruit flavors like Pineapple Upside Down, Banana and Strawberry, and, then, there’s Rocky Road and Confetti. They’re just fun!

Which flavor would you enjoy on these dog days of summer?

Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day! Happy Father's Day!

In honor of Fathers everywhere who work hard and give their children love and affection and rules and curfews, we'd like to know, which flavor would your father like?

There are the standards: good ol' Chocolate cupcake or Yellow cupcake with Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Those are bound to be a hit with just about any Dad.

But, then we also have cupcakes based on popular cakes, like Carrot, Red Velvet, and even Pineapple Upside Down. Is one of those cakes your Dad's favorite? He can have it in a wonderful, fun-to-eat cupcake, topped with delicious, rich, creamy Cream Cheese Frosting.

If you want to be a little more adventurous, maybe Dad would like a Rocky Road cupcake with Chocolate Ganache or Amaretto cupcake. Or maybe go gourmet, with Burnt Sugar with Vanilla Bean Cream Cheese Frosting or Rosewater with Rosewater Icing. Or, maybe Rosewater is too flowery for a Dad?

Whatever your Father's favorite flavor, we at Cupcakes By Jo hope Father's Day is great for all those wonderful, hard-working Dads out there.

Have a great day!
