Nashville Goes to War

Don’t get your panties in a wad, Nashville is obviously not going to war. However, one Nashville cupcakery, The Painted Cupcake, is hoping to battle it out in Food Network’s Cupcake Wars.

We’ve already fallen in love with their cupcakes, and this video just made us love them even more. Tracey Davenport, owner of the bakery, managed to open the shop in just three weeks! That’s right, she signed the lease to a picturesque location in historic Nashville and received rave reviews from the moment doors opened for business, all in three weeks.

If you only watched the beginning of their video then you missed the best part. At the end, Tracy informs us The Painted Cupcake plans snag the $10,000 prize from Cupcake Wars and give all of it to Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital.

There’s only one thing we love more than a good dessert and that’s some philanthropic action. Personally, we think seeing The Painted Cupcake take it all at Cupcake Wars would be thrilling.

Owls are the Business

When I think of my mother, I think of two things: the color pink and owls.

Almost like a cupcake sent down from the heavens, I stumbled upon the most quintessential cupcake and cupcakery in Nashville just Googleing new cravings.

My cupcake craving came in the form of a fondant owl from a bakery rightly named The Painted Cupcake.

The cupcakes scream “Mom’s Birthday!”  Oh yes, that’s right, hot pink owl cupcakes. Literal perfection for my mother.

Check out their other amazing creations.
