While discussing with a friend potential clients, she mentioned a new type of clientele in the beauty & spa business that’s been booming – divorcees! Seriously. Who would have thought – cakes for birthdays, anniversaries or divorces! Then another friend of mine sent me an email with divorce themed cakes and I had to share my favorites.

This “cupcake factory” – I call it this because cupcakes are the only thing they make – is nestled in one corner of Houston’s Uptown Park. It’s has large glass windows peering into the kitchen where you see a line of cupcake workers frosting the cupcakes. Today I had the strawberry cupcake. Take a look for yourself. Hmmm!
