Student Discounts for ECU and UNC Wilmington for cupcakes!

Well, I got word back from my sorority girls and they were just tickeled. So due to their input and offerings I've decided to offer both ECU and UNC Wilmington a 15% discount on orders. Here's the email I received from the girls:

Tabitha, I was so excited and pleased when you delivered the cupcakes! I can't thank you enough for your generosity! They were so delicious and were such a hit! The strawberry and crème cupcakes were amazing. The favorites out of them all that people ate the most was the chocolate cupcakes. We were wondering if you did any mini cupcakes or if you would even consider it? We have recruitment and think that little cupcakes in the same flavors would be the perfect bite and are so appealing to the eye! We are giving out your business cards and will be sending you a picture with us and the cupcakes from the event. I will spread the word to the Greeks in the community if they have events they need desserts for. The ladies of Zeta Tau Alpha are more than willing to brag about how good your cupcakes we're and will help with any advertising you need just let us know! I will be talking to my Historian in my sorority and could put a shout out on our website with your information and pictures from our strawberry social. I know that it was easy for me to find your business through the internet but possibly putting an ad in the East Carolinian newspaper on our campus would probably get good feedback from college students who might throw themed parties or Greeks who have big events. We will be getting in touch with you about ordering cupcakes for recruitment in August where we have a much larger budget and many more guests. Thank you so much for your donation and time to make our event better!

So, I can't wait to get the photos from their event. I'll post on the site and here when I get them! Yeh!!

Sorority gals order cakes


Well, I have been trying to get in with the sororities in Gville, NC and finally some of the ladies found me on the web. They were having a party and a couple of the fraternities were coming. So, this one little lady was so sweet. They had a budget and wanted to know if we offered any discounts. She said they had $50 to spend and when I asked how many people were coming, she responded at least 40. Well, that would really just buy a dozen, but I didn't tell her that. I told her that I would donate the cupcakes and I would bring her 5 dozen of mixed flavors. She was so excited and thankful and I told her to keep her $50. Okay, next time I'll take the $50...but she was just so thankful.

When I arrived with my delivery van and the girls came out to help bring them in...I don't think they quite new what to expect. To see the looks on their faces was priceless. OMG they're beautiful...was their response. I can't wait to hear how they went over!
Just put on a pea soup...almost like a bisque the way I prepare it...but healthier:-) I use vanilla soy instead.
is wondering what I'll do with my time today besides check on my Grace Bug for a new kid.

The Java Jive

The Java Jive
Excited!!!! I have a great combo of a chocolate espresso cake that has a little chewy edge toppped with an espresso and Baileys Irish Cream buttercream frosting....the little bits of espresso in the frosting are like little crunchies. Looks like you've been eating Oreos. From the moment you bite into the frosting the Baileys envelopes your taste buds and the espresso just pops! Its one of my favs at The Peppered Cupcake.
