Kupcakz opens in Tulsa, Oklahoma

There's a new bakery in cupcakeland (Tulsa, to be precise) - Kupcakz

In times of economic struggles the simple taste of cupcakes can bring back warm memories of carefree times.

Cupcakes date back centuries and still have the same simple ingredients of butter, sugar, eggs and flour.

But in recent years, cupcakes have transcended child’s play to appear in upscale bakeries across the country. From coast to coast, bakery owners capitalize on the dessert craze by choosing to open a store dedicated exclusively to cupcakes. Cupcakes are miniature cakes, but Doreen Durano hopes her cupcake store will not have miniature sales. All of her cupcakes are made from scratch, and she calls each confection a little piece of heaven.

“Food just conjures up incredible memories of celebration – every wedding, birthday, have a cake,” said Durano, owner of Kupcakz. “Cupcakes are just miniature things and when you look at a cupcake it’s a miniature cake. Everyone seems to love miniature things.”
