“I just wanted to send you a big THANK YOU for the delicious cupcakes! They were a big hit; we set them up on the registration table so that guests could take one upon departure. I think you would be pleased with how many of the people had heard of Cups, and mentioned your name as well. You are doing a great job marketing! Thank you, as well, for the generous gift to the campaign. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to working with you in the future!”

“Oh my goodness…I just found you all and I have to say your cups are so darn gooooooood. I stood in line for 25 minutes to get cupcakes at that other store in UTC and would never ever do it again! Their cupcakes were awful and I tried a couple of flavors. Your cups are a zillion trillion times better. I would stand in line for hours for your cups.”
-Melissa Ladner, Happy Customer

“La Jolla’s cups are divine! I first tried these decadent desserts at a local political event where everyone was huddled around a triple-deckered display of scrumptious raspberry, chocolate and s’more cupcakes — the only audible sounds were gasps of delight. And it’s pretty hard to shut this crowd up!”

The sublime and sunshiny punch of lemon in the Cups I tasted over Fourth of July weekend sent a memory to my taste buds that won’t soon be forgotten.
Looking forward to the local grand opening of CUPS and future tasteful delights to come!

“I work in the village, just around the corner on Ivanhoe, so I first saw Cups before you opened by just walking by (I think I went on your opening day with some girls from my office). I’ve been a loyal customer ever since! I love your cupcakes, I bring them to every social event I can.”

“I had a chocolate one with a dark chocolate chip on top and it was melt-in-your-mouth moist. There is no way anyone could detect it was gluten free. I could’ve eaten the whole box!”

“Cups Bakery added unique flavor to our event with their delivery of a beautiful lay out of specialty mini cupcakes. Guests were able to enjoy several different types, and knowing that the bakers emphasize use of local natural and organic ingredients is very important – and they were Delicious!”
