Cupcakes & Frostings

Joyce Gourmet will also cater to your cupcake desires!  The list of flavors for both cupcake and frosting is growing and hence not (and may never be) complete.  If you have a flavor that is not on the list below, please inquire. 

All of my cupcakes and frostings are made from scratch, no more than 48 hours before your scheduled event date.  I take pride in my work and only offer baked goods with the finest ingredients: real butter, fresh brown eggs, velvety chocolate, rich cream, fresh fruits.

For ideal texture and fullest flavor, butter-based cupcakes must be served at room temperature.  Please refer to General Serving Guidelines below.

General Serving Guidelines

- Serve cupcakes at room temperature, (except those with whipped cream frosting)

- The time it takes for a cupcake to reach room temperature varies depending on a number of factors including cake size, weather and temperature. As a general guideline, remove cupake from refrigeration:

=> 1 to 2 hours before serving cupcakes

- Do not leave cupcakes under direct sunlight

- Do not leave cupcakes inside car (direct sunlight and/or heat may cause the cupcake frosting to melt

Warning: if you serve a cold butter-based cupcake, you may perceive it as hard, dry or stale
