BUY SOME TASTY INAUGURATION TREATS AND SUPPORT TWO LOCAL BUSINESSES WHILE YOU ARE AT IT DURING THESE ROUGH ECONOMIC TIMES

There could be no better way to celebrate incoming U.S. President Barack Obama by supporting two of our local businesses, one just starting out and the other working its way through the nation’s struggling economy. It’s the type of thing I bet Barack would want us to do.

Italian Cuppacakes, run by local gal Rose Cigliano, and one of my favorite places to eat, Nosh, have teamed up in many ways – but are starting our New Year with a bright American flag style cupcake coming in three flavors: Chocolate with butter cream frosting, chocolate with cream cheese frosting and red velvet with cream cheese frosting.

“On Tuesday, January 20th, the United States of America will be sworn in our 44th President, Barack Obama,” a delighted Rose emailed me. “This celebration will take place at noon and throughout the day, people will be celebrating the new change we have all been waiting for. What can be more exciting than celebrating with an Inauguration Cupcake made by Cuppacakes!

“Bring them to work, or celebrate with your family and enjoy eating a cupcake as you see a history being made!”

An order of at least a dozen cupcakes of the same kind is necessary to order.

The cupcakes can be ordered through Rose at http://www.italiancuppacakes.com/ (310) 707-3541. All orders can be picked up at the eatery, located at 617 South Centre Street, San Pedro.
