To the Sweet Spot-- The Patchcake is a good marketing idea--getting LV locals to vote on a cupcake named for our town, everyone is sure to flock to your store to try one! However, they may be disappointed, as I was, at the size of the cupcake--they should be called "Half Cup Cakes" or "Baby Cakes". Which is fine, but not for 2 bucks apiece.

LLB,

The Patchcake idea actually came from me, editor of Mendham-Chester Patch. They agreed to participate when I asked them and we decided to include Long Valley. And the voting is not only in Long Valley, but in Mendham and Chester as well. Thanks for the comment.

This is such an awesome idea. Congratulations Cheryl on all of your success. Your cupcakes are the perfect size AND price. we love you!

@ LLB- fortunately for you Wal-Mart's are usually always within 5 miles of where you are. I'm sure they have cupcake tins, so you can make the cupcakes any size you'd like!

@Shannon--Fortunately for all of us we can make any comment we like on the Patch!
I don't know what WalMart and their cupcake tins have to do with the Sweet Spot, but since you brought them up--WM actually has very good baked goods.

Having read Patch’s article on the Sweet Spot’s “Cupcake Wars” victory, I decided to order several dozen for a family gathering and could not have been more delighted with my purchase. Everyone raved about these cupcakes. Several people even cut a few in half, enabling themselves to taste more than one without destroying their respective waistlines.

I wish the ladies great success in their endeavor; the convenience of a local source of quality baked goods is a godsend.

I remember going to The Sweet Spot when they first opened. They cupcakes are the best and very generous. Cheryl and sister (who what there in beginning) actually gave my daughter's girls scout troop a tour and let them decorate their own cupcake. Great memories. Also had two great birthday cakes from there as well. I do have one request. Please bring back that French Toast Cupcake. It was just fabulous. I know it sounds odd, but the crispy sweet bacon on top was great! I don't even like bacon that much.

If I may, your choices are a bit too bland to truly represent Long Valley. Having grown up in LV, and knowing some of it's flavors and such...
There used to be a bakery in the old chester springs shopping center, and I think Long valley tastes like a combination of the way the chester bakery smelled, fresh pumpkin pie, and really good spaghetti meat-sace.
I know it's kind of complicated, but that's just the greatness of Long Valley.

Well, this is the Mendham-ChesterPatch and, as I was informed in a previous comment, this flavor is not just to represent LV. Spaghetti meat-sauce in a cupcake...?

Hey guys,

We're actually running this on both Mendham-Chester and Long Valley. So the nominations AND the voting were open to all those communities.

I know that, Russ. In the very beginning it was inferred it was a LV flavor. Obviously, the voting has been open to all the communities.
