jumping for joy (oh joy)
We were so excited to have our new second location featured today on Oh Joy AND we teamed up to ship one lucky person a dozen cupcakes (check out the post for all the details...most important, you only have until Friday morning to participate in the giveaway).
Our second shop in Solvang just opened up about 3 months ago. Here's a glimpse of what we started with ~
Our 1964 restored vintage Shasta airflyte cupcake trailer was the design inspiration for the little shop. We want our guests to feel as if they are stepping into our trailer (full of cupcakes!). Here was our inspiration for re-working the space. I put together this inspiration board before we started re-vamping ~
And, here's some more info about our Solvang location and lovely visuals captured by the amazing Jose Villa!
In addition to selling cupcakes, we also sell some fun retro inspired products that smell like our cupcakes taste & one-of-a-kind vintage finds (vintage aprons, milk glass cake stands, retro thermoses, etc.)! We have Margarita Bloom, www.margarita-bloom.com, bath & body products from their "Bakery" line (i.e Belgium chocolate soap, lemon drop body butter) and hand poured soy candles in retro tins, with scents like vanilla mint, maple brown sugar & key lime pie.

Hello! I was so excited while reading through my RSS feeds to find Joy's posting on your stores. Although I live in North Carolina, I love to see what is going on in the world. Your cupcakes are so innovative and have inspired me to experiment this coming weekend. The wine cupcakes, especially the Pink Verveine Champagne cupcake had me salivating. Wow, two of my favorite things wrapped into one - champagne AND cupcakes! What more could a girl want (except more shoes)? Your new shop is gorgeous - thanks for sharing!
I so love these pix - light, sunny, summer at it's best. And i WANT a cupcake now ;)
your shop looks wonderful, love the color scheme and the lawn chair especially lol I have to get up to try your cupcakes!
such a great post and such a great feature on oh joy!

You shop looks so refreshing, it's very welcoming and has a feeling of being home...like in a grandma's kitchen. It's beautiful and inspiring. I love the color choices.
Mmmm...everything sounds so good. I'm fond of vanilla and I love cranberries. The Cranberry Orange Clove sounds delicious.
I think it is great you are expanding! The photographer taking all your pictures does a great job and it really adds to the perception quality of the business. Man do I love your cupcakes!
I'm speechless, Ambs! Your shop is UH-MAZING! I can't even tell you how much I wish I could come visit you and see it in person. Forget Palm Springs, lets just meet up in Solvang! So proud of you guys! Luv you!
