In the Palm of Your Hand

Sweet Pockets Cupcakes Opens

And then there was one. One perfectly iced cupcake on Cubicle Wench’s desk after she brown-nosed her way through the first eleven.

You ask: “For the love of powdered sugar, where did you get that amazing confection?”
She says: “Can’t tell you. [Lick.] Seem to have [nibble, nibble] forgotten.”

No problem. Especially now that Sweet Pockets, a new Atlanta cupcake company, is selling its delectable bites at pint-size outposts all over town.

Sample mini versions of Happy Monkey (banana cake, peanut buttercream frosting), Blondie (vanilla on vanilla), and Cookies and Cream at during the week at Beehive Co-Op and Kings Circle Markets, and on weekends at Irwin Street Market and Jake’s Ice Cream shop in Decatur.

Should you feel the need to consume by the dozen (or more), owner Lennie “Cupcake Girl” King will happily arrange a special order based on the flavors you like best.

Leaving you fed up.

And this time in a good way.

Available Tuesdays through Sundays at Beehive Co-Op, 1831a Peachtree Road, Buckhead (404-351-1166); weekends only Jake’s Ice Cream & Sorbets, 515 McDonough Street, Decatur (404-377-9300), and other locations. For more information, go to sweet-pockets.com.
