valentine's day Free cuptails™ cocktail cupcakes giveaway at Cupcake Lounge™ in Westhampton February 12th

In my opinion this press release went a little overboard with the trademark symbols, but I'm always happy to share news about free cupcake giveaways!

From PR Web:

Cupcake Lounge™ is making its first appearance in Westhampton, NY for Cuptail™ Hour. Cupcake Lounge™ is the latest cupcakery throwing its cuptails™ into the mix. Cuptails™ combine cocktails with cupcakes, resulting in a thirst-quenching snack for adults. Committed to a healthful method of baking, Cupcake Lounge™ uses substitutions for fat and sugar, lowering the overall calorie count.

The offering includes such cuptails™ as Banana Foster, The Bourbon Pub, and Piña Cupolada. Both frosting and cupcake are infused with alcohol. Also available are favorites such as Red Velvet and Carrot Cake. Cupcake Lounge™ will be hosting a tasting on February 12th, from 3-6pm at Hamptons Wine Shoppe, 62 Sunset Avenue, Westhampton, NY.

Cupcake Lounge™ was launched in December 2010. Their cuptails™ and cupcakes are available online. All cupcakes are made to order from scratch. Shipping is available within the United States. Cupcake Lounge™ and cuptail™ are trademarks belonging to Cynthia Sachs.

valentine's day Cupcake Monday: Chicago's Grafton Pub

For $5, get a cupcake and a beer in Lincoln Square's Grafton Pub. This pub is famous for its curry fries, chili cheese mac, and fantastic burgers, but bartenders Kelly Ortigara and Jenny Kawecki are bringing the cupcake love tonight. If there is a good turn out, Cupcake Monday might become a staple at the Irish pub. Sit by the fire, order a Guinness and a cupcake and enjoy The Old Town School of Folk Music's Jug Band Jam with Jonas Friddle starting at 9 p.m.
