Mini's is committed to buy local whenever possible for the products we use in our baking and sandwich making. As a small business, we appreciate the support of our community and we in turn want to support other locally owned and operated businesses.
In today's world of fast and processed food we sometimes forget to ask what is in our food and where it comes from. We are proud to tell you that our cupcakes are made from scratch using the best ingredients possible. We are still looking for a few local providers for some items, so if you know of some place that we may be able to support please let us know.
Thanks so much! Leslie

Why Cupcakes? Why not! Everywhere around the country, cupcake specialty shops are all the rage.I found this out on one of my recent trips to New York.Some of these shops have great cupcakes and some not so good. In 2006 over the Christmas Holiday I was craving a coconut cupcake from my favorite shop.I went on-line to order some, not available, so I called.Much to my disappointment they did not deliver.I called three more shops in NYC and one in San Francisco, all had the same answer, "we do not deliver outside our area." This made me mad because I really wanted a really good cupcake.I figured that if I wanted an upscale, not from a box sweet treat then others would too.So I started baking.Hundreds of recipes and over 1000 cupcakes later Mini's emerged.In my research, yes I was forced to eat 100's of cupcakes, I found most were way too sweet, had way too much frosting, and were often dry.So, I created what I think, and so do others, to be the best made from scratch cupcakes.My cupies are not too sweet, moist, and have an overall balance with the amount of frosting to cake ratio. Why Mini's? I like the idea of a "mini" cupcake, not too many calories, not so big you get sick eating it, and small enough that if I want to try two or three flavors, what the heck.And just as important, I drive a Mini Cooper and I love it! What's Next? Ok, I know we specialize in Cupcakes but I hate not having something good to eat at my store so we will be adding some great Lunch Specials soon. I am currently researching local bread companies and flavor combinations for a great sandwich. Watch for our to-go Mini Gourmet box lunch coming soon.
Catering and specialty flavors are not a problem, in fact I enjoy the challenge of creating something special. Please contact me if you have some questions about your party, event, or wedding.
