Phoebe’s Cupcakes Introduces Phoebe’s Dogcakes and Dog Donuts With Nationwide Delivery










Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 10, 2009

Phoebe’s Cupcakes™ of Chicago (http://www.phoebescupcakes.com) announced today the newest creation out of founders Phoebe Walters and Kate McNamara kitchen, Phoebe’s Dogcakes™ and Phoebe’s Dog Donuts™, with nationwide delivery beginning today. Great tasting and scrumptious looking, Phoebe’s hand made dog treats are made of toasted carob, flax seeds, whole wheat, peanut butter, and they are egg, dairy, and chocolate free. Phoebe’s Pet Treats™ will sell at retail for $ 1.50 each and $ 14.95 per dozen, with discounted pricing available to wholesale customers.

Says Phoebe’s Cupcakes Founder and President Phoebe Walters of the product introduction, “Why should the dogs be ignored while the masters indulge? You no longer have to feel guilt as you eat your cupcake when your dog looks at you with those puppy eyes.”

On Saturday, August 15th at noon, the company will hold a contest at the company’s North Chicago location at 3327 N. Broadway to select a dog model to advertise Phoebe’s Dogcakes. The first 200 dogs that enter the contest will receive a free dog treat. Owners that want a cupcake may have a cupcake at a special price of $ 2. The winning dog, which will be selected by founders Phoebe Walters and Kate McNamara, will receive a one year dog modeling contract involving a one hour modeling session, $ 100 in dog treats, and will appear in all Phoebe’s Dogcakes advertisements for a year. Phoebe and Abe, a 3-year-old beagle that has been selected as the dog model to advertise Phoebe’s Dog Donuts will be outside the company’s Chicago location to greet dogs and their owners. The winning dog will be announced on the company’s website that evening at 6:30 and outside the company’s Chicago location.

Just how much will your dog like Phoebe’s Dog Treats and just how great tasting are they?    Well, it’s not just dogs that eat them. When Anthony, a 4-year-old boy that lives in Lakeview, stops by with his mom, he actual orders and eats a dogcake instead of a cupcake. “I’m vegan,” he tells his mom.

Phoebe’s Cupcakes of Chicago Announces Launch of Wedding Cupcakes Catering Service










Chicago, IL (PRWEB) July 16, 2009

Phoebe’s Cupcakes™ (http://www.phoebescupcakes.com) announced today that it launched Phoebe’s Wedding Cupcakes & Cakes™ catering service (http://www.phoebescupcakes.com/chicago-wedding-cupcakes-parties-catered-events.php) and that it recently completed catering its first 3 weddings in the Chicago area. Phoebe’s Cupcakes founders Phoebe Walters and Kate McNamara have a combined more than 8 years of experience with wedding cupcake catering prior to founding Phoebe’s Cupcakes, and have catered weddings ranging from small, intimate weddings of two dozen people, to their largest wedding of 5,000 guests. Phoebe’s Cupcakes will cater weddings of any size in the Chicago area, and weddings nationwide with more than 1,000 guests.

Phoebe’s Cupcakes differentiates itself from other bakeries in Chicago that provide cupcakes for weddings in a number of ways. In contrast to other bakeries that simply provide cupcakes and a stand to display the cupcakes on, Phoebe and Katie work with the bride and groom to create a unique, highly customized, and beautiful cupcake wedding cake that is arranged with flowers and other decorations to look like a cake, and manage the set-up and arrangement at receptions. Phoebe and Katie’s backgrounds in art and their culinary school training enable them to do beautiful, specialized decorations of each cupcake. The company has more than 200 flavors of cupcakes for the bride and groom to choose from, providing endless possibilities for customization. All 200 flavors may be viewed at http://www.phoebescupcakes.com/chicago-wedding-cupcakes-parties-catered-events.php. The company also makes wedding cakes, and can arrange for a smaller cake to cut at the top of an arrangement of cupcakes.

Founder and President Phoebe Walters said of the launch of the company’s wedding cupcake and cake catering service, “Phoebe’s Cupcakes is all about celebrating the important moments in people’s lives and I am unbelievably excited to help make brides and grooms’ wedding day extra special.”

Jocelyn Sanchez of Chicago said of Phoebe’s involvement in her wedding to Chuck Sanchez of Chicago, “Phoebe really has the special touch to personalize and customize her cupcakes and present them in a way that will compliment any event. The presentation of the cupcakes at the wedding was beautiful and I think the cupcakes were the most photographed item at the wedding aside from Chuck and me. The taste lived up to the beautiful presentation and I have become a regular customer since the wedding. I really felt like she cared deeply about making my day special. And she did.”

Pricing for Phoebe’s Cupcakes to cater a wedding is at $ 2.50 to $ 3.50 per cupcake, with an additional 25% set-up and delivery charge for weddings in the Chicago area. The starting price of $ 2.50 per cupcake is for cupcakes that are being sold in the company’s bakery and café in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, the week of a wedding. Higher prices are for cupcakes that are not on the weekly menu and require custom ordering of ingredients and decoration of the individual cupcakes. Pricing for set-up and arrangement for weddings outside the Chicago area varies based on the city the wedding is located in.

Phoebe’s Cupcakes Opening in Chicago Draws Huge Turnout











Phoebe’s Chocolate Golden Cupcake Stands in the Middle


Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 6, 2009

Phoebe’s Cupcakes, Chicago — Phoebe’s Cupcakes™ (http://www.phoebescupcakes.com ), a Chicago-based maker and marketer of gourmet cupcakes, Phoebe’s Cupcakes Coffee™, muffins, cookies, and other pastries, announced today that its opening day last month drew a much higher than expected crowd, with more than 3,500 people served cupcakes in three and a half hours, with lines of 50 to 100 people stretching down Broadway and around the corner at times.

Upon selling 3,000 cupcakes this past Sunday, Phoebe Walters, founder and head of Phoebe’s Cupcakes, installed a second oven to increase capacity to 6,000 cupcakes a day, starting today.

Phoebe’s Cupcakes is now open for regular business hours of 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Tuesday to Thursday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, Friday and Saturday, 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, and 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Sunday (Chicago store closed on Mondays). The Chicago location is in Lakeview at 3327 N. Broadway.    

Ms. Walters decided after the first hour and after the original expected turnout of 1,500 people was reached, to keep the oven going, even though the Chicago location wasn’t at full capacity yet, and said, “It was such a nice day and I didn’t want to disappoint anyone after the first 1,500 people were served.”

People waiting in line remained patient and were enthusiastic about Phoebe’s Cupcakes after trying the cupcakes. Said Leonard of Chicago, “I would stand in a pile of glass for an hour to get one of these cupcakes. I love them.”

Two local Chicagoans won Phoebe’s Golden Cupcake, an expensive, ultra premium, cupcake made with real gold topping. The two winners received certificates entitling them to a free cupcakes a week for life. Lien, the first winner, who works near the Chicago location, walked back into the store with gold still on her face, and said simply, “I think I won.” Geoff, the other winner, also remained calm, but his girlfriend jumped into the air screaming upon seeing the golden cupcake in the box.

While Phoebe’s Cupcakes provides affordable luxury with its price of $ 2.50 for a single cupcake bought in the Chicago store, Phoebe’s Golden Cupcake is a very expensive to make, premium gourmet cupcake available for special order that is offered for weddings and other catered events at $ 20 per cupcake, with a minimum size order of a dozen cupcakes. There is also a silver cupcake available and cake size cupcake available for weddings and parties.

In addition to selling cupcakes, cinnamon roll cupcakes, and muffins, Phoebe’s cupcakes sells coffee at a price of $ 1.50 for a large 20 ounce cup, compared to $ 1.95 for Starbucks ®, and $ 2.00 at Caribou Coffee® in the vicinity. The Chicago location will soon also offer milk, soda and other beverages.

Last month, Phoebe’s Cupcakes received $ 1.5 million in venture capital funding to open the first 20 stores nationwide, from Ascent Equity Capital in Chicago.
