Tuesday, February 26, 2008 We were supposed to get a lot of snow today so Aaron picked me up from work. We were driving along and almost home when I spied with my little eye something very curious. I yelled "Turn around and park!" I really did shout that and Aaron frantically pulled over as soon as he could. He wasn't even out of the truck and I was halfway down the sidewalk. What I spotted was this. The warm glow of a brank spanky new bakery! I just love to see new businesses open downtown and I was thrilled that it was a bakery. I rushed in and started taking pictures in between "I'll have some of these!" and "I'll take one of those!" Check out the goods! MINI CUPCAKES PEOPLE!!! And single servings of WEDDING CAKE!!! BRILLIANT!!! This is Nick and Bethany Soures, the owners.... who were very nice and accepting of my bizarre estatic behavior and even let me take a picture of them. So the name of the new bakery is Goodness Cakes and by new I mean it opened a week ago! It's at 720 University Avenue, in what I think used to be the old police station (now houses a photo gallery too). Edibles and Starry Nite cafe are just a few doors down. If you happen to stop by be sure to tell them the short crazy girl in the orange coat sent you.

By  Anonymous, at 26/2/08 10:52 PM It's great that you're publicizing a new small business. I've always tried to shop locally in my little town, and I'm now in the process of opening a craft shop/studio where I live. Merchants can't do it without customers. Good luck to Goodness Cakes! If I lived in Rochester, I'd certainly stop by for a cupcake! By  Susie, at 27/2/08 7:25 AM that reminds me... i wanted to share thiis with you... it's a map of all l.a. area cupcakeries... very handy to have for your next visit! http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=104814147036044307070.000444f920f17e00a7c54 that little shop looks so lovely. i wish i had that wedding cake right now! By  Anonymous, at 27/2/08 8:37 AM Oh man. There goes my diet. The roads are clear... Funny I was just thinking the other day how it was unusual to me that Rochester didn't have a cupcake place. I mean, we have a ravioli place, tons of frozen custard/yogurt places, it seemed about time. By  Anonymous, at 27/2/08 9:59 AM ooooh single-serving wedding cake slices! and i just love love LOVE cupcakes!! By  laurelannlucy, at 27/2/08 10:26 AM I love that you were still so excited that you wrote "brank spanky new bakery". It's the "spanky" part that kills me. They must have turned to each other after you left and said, "She's either going to get us business or scare customers away with all the drooling and crazy talk." We kid, of course. ;o) Hopefully all your Rochester peeps will now descend en masse onto the bakery and deplete their stock. By  Annegret, at 27/2/08 11:06 AM That is awesome! Look at all this free publicity they're getting! Good luck to them! That wedding cake sure looked good! By  lisa-marie, at 27/2/08 1:26 PM thank you to anonymous for the la map of cupcake locations. Also no thank you to anonymous when I gain an additional 20 pounds. :P I can vouch for Yummy Cupcakes in LA. Mmmm. Brown Sugar Cinnamon! By  Cecilie, at 27/2/08 1:31 PM This post made me laugh. A lot. ;) By  Pixie, at 27/2/08 3:06 PM Ah, the benefits of being your BFF and cubemate are great - mini cupcakes sitting on my desk this morning!! Delicious!! My stomach and soul thank you... my thighs, not so much ;-) By  Tina, at 27/2/08 5:44 PM I just put it on my list for when we are there in June. They'll know your name by then. By  Jane, at 27/2/08 7:41 PM Freeds in vegas has been doing the single serve wedding cake thing for years. I'll check out Goodness Cakes this weekend! By  kimeats, at 28/2/08 9:55 AM so my fiance and i had dinner at matthew's last night and then, after reading your blog post in the morning, i wanted to head to this new bakery. we live on upton so we're literally right down the road from this place... and silly me didn't realize that a bakery wouldn't be open past 7. UGH! i'll stop by this afternoon after work and tell them you sent me. red velvet- HERE I COME! :) thanks! By  Kimberly, at 28/2/08 12:05 PM I saw this and thought of you! http://www.kidrobot.com/products2.cfm?ID=4453&cfid=5449716&cftoken=57616800&nav_chooser=&dept=TOYS&typ=BLIND%20BOX# By  Amy, at 28/2/08 1:31 PM anonymous - oh yeah... that needs updated anonymous - thanks! kimberly - cool! amy - I actually have the cupcake one... I got it at Urban Outfitters. Gotta blog about that sometime! By  ljc, at 28/2/08 1:50 PM I work 2 seconds away from here, so I stopped by today and picked up some cupcakes and a tart. When I saw the cupcakes, I said, "Ooooh! They ARE small!" and the woman said, "Yes, word is getting out." I'm sure they've been inundated with mini-cupcake buyers thanks to you! By  Olivia, at 28/2/08 6:34 PM We all know you love your cupcakes. Today at The Container Store I came across these adorable holders- perfect to carry in your lunch pail! http://www.containerstore.com/browse/Product.jhtml?searchId=13094630&itemIndex=26&CATID=74067&PRODID=10015475 By  Bean, at 29/2/08 3:26 PM I saw your post on Cupcakes Take The Cake too. I am so glad to see Rochester on the cupcake map! By  Chinese Liaison, at 29/2/08 5:07 PM You should come and visit us in Berkeley. We've got a great cuppy cake place with awesome flavors... pistachio with limoncello icing, fresh strawberry, huge coconut ones... yum, yum, yum! http://www.loveatfirstbitebakery.com/menu.html The menu is on the link By  deltasheets, at 4/3/08 2:03 AM I stopped in today, bought 8 of the minis, and told them I'd heard about their bakery via you! The German chocolate minis are AMAZING. By  Matthew, at 8/4/08 9:58 PM This couple can bake! i love them!! I have dreams of their buttercream frosting. I'm not weird, it's just THAT good. Love love love. By  Pea, at 9/7/08 4:40 PM Post a Comment ............................................................................... Go to ljcfyi Main
