Located in historic Leesburg, King Street Coffee offers a warm and inviting atmosphere for that perfect cup of coffee or tea. I first met Kimberly, the owner, at her shop during the June Leesburg First Friday event and was so delighted when she contacted me to do a tasting for the upcoming August event. A big thank you Kimberly for the great opportunity, amazing hospitality, and for my new favorite Moroccan Mint iced TEA. It's a must have, very refreshing -- go get some! Oh, and if you don't know what "Leesburg First Friday" is please be sure to check-out their page. A special thanks to Jill Perla, King Street Coffee's Artist of the Month for August, for paper crafting the wonderful little cupcake signs. My absolute favorite one was the "100% Awesome". Be sure to check out this local artist, she paints as well!
I'd also like to thank Rima of Rima B for supplying the amazing French Macarons for the tasting - they were a big hit. Over the past year and a half an increasing number of my customer's have inquired about gluten free cupcakes - which I am happy to report are coming to Shugar Shugar soon! In the meantime I wanted to provide my customers with a good quality gluten free option and Rima B's macarons met Shugar Shugar standards.
I was first introduced to Rima and her amazing macarons at a friends birthday party in March of this year. I couldn't stop eating them, not only were they visually appealing but the flavors were exquisite. Her macarons are delicious and naturally gluten free as this traditional French pastry is made with Almond Flour and as you know gluten comes from wheat flour. Rima's macarons are indeed special, she has a passion for making them and it shows. If you'd like more information about these wonderful treats please feel free to contact me or Rima directly at: Rima B, phone 703-757-6709, cell 571-723-9244, and e-mail rima.b@msn.com.
To sum it all up, 2011 is proving to be an amazing year for Shugar Shugar. A lot of the things that were set in motion last year have already come to fruition. I am truly blessed and obsessed -- WITH CUPCAKES that is =). Thank you everyone for your support and patronage -- your cupcake smiles keep me going everyday! There is much work to be done, but I'm loving every minute of it. There's more excitement ahead and I look forward to continue growing and expanding; it's all thanks to you, my customers.
P.S. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements. I'll be doing another Wine & Cupcake Pairing at Corcoran Vineyards as well as tastings at the Ashburn Wine Shop.
Thank you, Kay
