We've posted about a good number of cupcake lawsuits over the years, but this one has family drama - an uncle suing his niece! From Las Vegas Sun:
Pamela Jenkins, owner of the three Cupcakery shops in the Las Vegas area, says she's tired of lawsuits and just wants to create and sell cupcakes.
Jenkins, who has been sued twice by her uncle in Texas over their Cupcakery business dealings, issued a statement Wednesday denying the allegations in his latest suit.
Jenkins also indicated she won't be involved in any more trademark litigation and her statement would seem to undermine efforts by her uncle, Ricky Perritt, to obtain trademarks for The Cupcakery name and logo.
"Through research, I've found that the word 'cupcakery' existed before I opened The Cupcakery. I believe the use of 'cupcakery' as a noun can only maximize the exposure for myself and others who believe in the delicious spirit of cupcakes and cupcakeries. It is not, and never has been, my intent to limit the use of the word 'cupcakery' or purport to own the word, as my former partner is attempting to do. As I have received numerous requests nationwide regarding the phenomenon of cupcakes, the word 'cupcakery' and other cupcake-related questions of late, I felt it was the right time to share the glory of The Cupcakery and all cupcakeries freely," Jenkins said in her statement.

valentine's day Denver Cupcake Truck faces off with city
From Mobile Food News:
It’s a cupcake conundrum that has clearly confused a pair of Denver small business owners, and the 8,000 plus Facebook fans of the Denver Cupcake Trucks aren’t happy about it.
“They’re locked away right now,” Denon Moore explained.
The two trucks, one nicknamed Clyde and the other named Clementine, are apparently personas non grata in the City of Denver says Moore and her husband Sean.
“We were hassled weekly by a city inspector and told us we weren’t allowed to be parked downtown,” Denon Moore said.
And some photos from the Facebook page of the Denver Cupcake Truck, where you can also keep up with where they are each day. Yesterday they were at Bike Cafe.

valentine's day Chicago food truck Flirty Cupcakes shut down by local police, now back up and running
From The Wall Street Journal (via Hit & Run), which covers Flirty Cupcakes and other Chicago food trucks being shut down temporarily:
Chicago's rules are for health and sanitary reasons. The City Council is currently considering some changes in food-truck laws. Brick-and-mortar restaurants are fighting the mobile insurgency, chasing trucks from their street fronts, calling police and snapping photos of the vendors in hopes of catching them illegally parked.
Holly Sjo, owner of The Cupcake Counter, a year-old downtown shop, called the cops when she spotted Ms. Kurtz parked near her business in a spot she believed to be illegal.
"She seems to only park next to other people's cupcake shops," Ms. Sjo says.
Ms. Kurtz denies the accusation. "I would never want to do that to another cupcake business," she says.
The food truck concept is "a quaint idea," says Dan Rosenthal, owner of Sopraffina Marketcaffe, a chain of Italian restaurants in Chicago. "But when you get right down to it, it creates an unlevel playing field."
A food-truck operation can get off the ground for under $150,000, while many restaurants spend more than $1 million on real estate and equipment to open their doors.
"It's an elitist thing," says food-trucker Mr. Maroni. "Just step up your game," he says. "McDonald's doesn't ask Burger King if they can open up across the street."
From Flirty Cupcakes on Facebook, today's schedule:
AON Building - Stetson Side 11:30-12:45
Monroe/Dearborn - 1:15-2:30
State/Lake 3:00-4:00
Adams/Wacker 4:30-5:45
You can also follow @flirtycupcakes on Twitter for the latest news.
Some of their fall cupcakes, also via Facebook:
"Great Pumpkin Patch" - A brown butter pumpkin cupcake snuggled in a maple pecan frosting...good grief, there really is a "great pumpkin"
"Cinnahoneystreusel"..yep like Bradgalina, this cinnamon spice cupcake is swirled with a cinnamon, honey cream cheese frosting and topped off with a cinnamon streusel crumble...a partnership made in heaven!
"S'more Me Over" - A moist chocolate cupcake, layered with a graham cracker bottom and a melt in your mouth marshmallow frosting...you may find yourself belting out Kumbaya is if you were by the campfire!
And even though Halloween is over, I wanted to share this spider cupcake, because it made me smile:
