The Cupcake Cafe is probably the most expensive. I think it was $2.50 when I was there a few years ago. The shop was rather grungy, but the website says they’ve moved a little north on 9th Ave.
The flowers on their cakes and cupcakes are an amazing work of art!!!

Yeah,Toni Kerman I really think you should get into the cupcake business and if it gets big, maybe you can start one in Klamath Falls and sell them to Black Bear diner. It sounds like a good idea to me. Your friend, Barry

There is this great little french bistro in my neighborhood that is for sale for a reasonable price. It’s 600 sq feet and comes with a stove displaycase and refrig. unit.The location cannot be beat. It’s right near park and across the street from a middle school, down the block from an elementery school and around the corner from a small fry school.
I can’t get the cupcake shop bee out of my brain and I’m seriously thinking about going for it.
Can you tell me what the basics that I’d need to get started are and what the hell I might be getting myself into?

Hi Kelli! Thanks for all the great info & ideas. I too am seriously thinking about a cupcake biz. I wonder if lil old Medford, OR. is ready for the craze?

Hi Kate — Can you tell us a little more about your business? What does your store look like? Maybe you can display the various types of products you offer in the window. Do you have a website? That may also help clear up your offerings. I’m guessing from your email that the name of your business is “Sweet Kate’s Ice Cream”. If this is correct, people may assume you are just an ice cream shop by your name. Something like “Sweet Kate’s Ice Cream and Confections” may more accurately describe your offerings. Good luck and let us know if we can help more.

I started my dessert business two years ago. We make our own icecream, gelato, fine chocolates, gourmet apples, baked cookies, cakes, cupcakes and more. Our customers love our products but many are not aware of all the products we make and sell. From our first time customers we hear “we thouught you were just an icecream shop”.

Your thoughts on how we can turn this around?

Hi Kelli, I hope gelato becomes more popular too. Unfortunately, many places sell “gelato” that really isn’t. I bought some Fairway brand hazelnut gelato this weekend. It was good, but it resembled light Haagen Daz ice cream. That reminds me: when it gets warm again, I’m going to post a review of the city’s gelato places.

Or my local favorite, from Bea’s (of course). Vanilla cake swirled with lucious chocolate buttercream frosting. Is it my birthday yet!
