Did you know we serve food? We do! We're Cupcakes Bakery & Deli, after all. 

We'd love for you to come in for lunch and enjoy a sandwich before dessert. I enjoy food that's the size of my head so we make delicious sandwiches that take up a whole plate. For the daintier eaters, our sands are big enough for two. 

Hot or cold, our sandwiches are made to order and to delight.
In addition to making sandwiches daily, we have delectable BBQ Chicken Thigh and/or Pork Riblet platters. We want to be sure you're fully fed - meal and dessert.

Beef Brisket is available periodically.

We have Soul Food options and great sides. 🤤

We serve up collard greens, cornbread, Mac & Cheese and red beans and rice. Oh, and potato salad. Milli makes everything in the shop ... it's truly homemade.

If those sides don't suit your fancy, we have jojos, fries and onion rings (call for availability).

And last, but certainly not least ... you can get fried catfish, breaded and seasoned in house. 🤤🤤🤤​

The catfish goes fast so please call ahead to order.

This is slow-cooked pork butt. Hehehe ... that makes me laugh. Wish you could smell it.

Yasss, it's going down at Cupcakes Bakery & Deli this week! I guess summer has everyone wanting BBQ so we're giving you what you want. There's also beef brisket cooking right now, too. 😀

We're serving up pulled pork sandwiches, rice and beans, potato salad, cole slaw, mac & cheese, collard greens, black-eyed peas ... all that. The brisket is one of the choices on the soul food platter. Check out our Uber Eats menu for details.

And don't forget the cupcakes. We've got Boston Cream, Red Velvet, Just Plain Vanilla, Double Chocolate - which can be turned into Triple Chocolate by adding chocolate sprinkles and syrup - and Dr. Pepper (one of my personal faves). 

​Does any of this sound tasty to you? Just curious.

Happy New Year 2018!

Generally the day before New Year’s Eve in the kitchen pots are clanging and pans are banging in preparation of The Good Luck Feast, and dishes that represent Southern tradition are on my New Year’s Day menu.  Many of the recipes have been passed down from generation to generation. Over the years variations have been tried and the rivalry between family members to show off their own culinary expertise has brought some very interesting results. 

The soul food that shared centers around a love of food and family, memories of those gone before us and a rich cultural heritage. There are some staples of the New Year’s feast that a down-home cook must always include to guarantee a year of prosperity and much-deserved accolades.
 
  1. Greens & Pot Likker:  Collards (most popular) mustards, turnips or a mix of the three. Greens represent money, particularly folding money  (I’ll take 100’s please).
  2. Cornbread:  The deep yellow of a skillet of cornbread represents gold coins to fill your purse.
  3. Black-eyed peas: There are many explanations for the symbolism of these simple legumes. My mother insisted they were an absolute for every New Year’s meal, even though no one ever seemed to eat them. As I researched the symbolism of traditional Southern dishes I discovered the history of black-eyed peas as central in the “good luck” meal. The dry beans resemble small coins and are said to represent humility and a lack of vanity - “Eat poor the first of the year and live fat the rest of the year.” An additional interpretation is that beans expand in water symbolizing expanding wealth.  Black-eyed peas are also said to represent the Emancipation of African-American slaves which were officially freed on New Year's Day after the Civil war.  Traditionally black-eyed peas are prepared very simply, boiled with a little salt pork and are extremely bland.  I must admit I disliked them immensely until I learned to enhance the dish with spices, peppers and pork. They are now the main dish in my New Year’s meal.
  4. Pork:  A staple of almost every southern meal - “A pig in every pot.”  The parts of the pig can vary.  Slaves were given parts of the pig not generally used for cooking.  Good cooks are adventurous and creative. Most of us have someone in our family that can make a meal from little or nothing.  Imagination and seasoning make for tasty dishes from pigs feet to maws and chitterlings.  Pigs forage forward, this represents forward momentum in to the new year.
 
Whether you believe in “peas for pennies, greens for dollars or bread for gold,” as good luck in the new year or not, these dishes are sure to afford you some mighty good eating.
 
Wishing You and Yours A Blessed (prosperous) 2018!
