Update on our new location....


We are very sad to announce tonight that we are not going to be able to open on October 31st as planned. There has been some issues with the county as far as zoning and requirements. We are not sure at this point how long it will be but we hope within the next month. We should know more tomorrow after we hear back from the architect. As for now we will remain open at our current location and we will proceed with our Wine and Cupcake tasting as planned (just not in our new location)  We truly appreciate all of the love and support that we have received from all of our wonderful customers and friends. It was just a year ago that we were having trouble getting our home kitchen inspection scheduled in order to be able to bake the cupcakes at our house in time to open at the Carolina Art Garden.  We have come a long way in a short time and we plan on overcoming this obstacle just as we have others in the past. Soon this little old brick house will be filled with beautiful art and the smell of coffee and cupcakes!!  We will post updates as soon as we have news.

Official Grand Opening Scheduled!!!

We plan on being open for business in our new location on October 31st!! We will be giving out a free mini cupcake to everyone that comes in costume from 4pm-9pm. We have some great Halloween flavors planned and can't wait to share our new shop with everyone.

Our official Grand opening will be celebrated on November 1, 2011 from 6pm-9pm. We will be doing a wine and cupcake tasting featuring Carolina Heritage Vineyards. Our special guests from the Butter Bean Village will be partnering with us to host this special night. We had not planned on doing another wine and cupcake tasting this year but we have had so many requests that we thought it would be a great way to celebrate our move. The wine and cupcake tasting will work the same way as in the past. $5 per person (includes 4 wine tastings and 4 mini cupcake pairings)  You can register online at http://www.justbakedlkn.com/ .

Just Baked Cupcakes & Coffee House is moving!!!

We have some really exciting news that we could not wait to share with everyone!! We will be moving on November 1, 2011. Our new location will located  very close to our current location but we will have road frontage and most importantly an on site kitchen!! Since we have opened, our business has grown beyond what we could have ever asked for or imagined. We have truly been blessed and we are so grateful for this new opportunity. We love Oak Street Mill but unfortunately we are not able to bake on site and that in turn makes it very difficult to keep up with the demand. We never want to have to turn customers away because we are sold out of cupcakes. Not only will we be able to bake more when our supply runs low but we will also be able to offer more variety of muffins, scones and brownies. We will be opening earlier and closing later and we will also have a private room for meetings. The upstairs will be occupied by a very talented local artist. Chris has some really great plans for the coffee house part of the business that you will not want to miss! There will be more information coming soon!!! Thank you to all of our customers for a great 1st year.....we look forward to many more!!!
