Welcome to PolkaDot Cupcakery!
A Chance to Give Back
I like to think of many of my customers as more than just that. Many of them have become friends. I have gotten to know their families, their friends, their stories. I get to talk with them about the good day they had and sometimes the bad day. I love getting to celebrate with them and be there with a little pick-me-up cupcake when they need that, too.
A little over a month and a half ago, one of our regulars, Steve, came to the shop, along with his wife Jennalee and their boys, Layne & Aaron, to place an order for Layne's birthday. He wanted a Toy Story theme and was so excited. Steve, that is. J I was busy in back working on orders, so my husband helped them with their order that day. I did pop my head out to say hi, because they are one of my favorite families. They would drive up from Ashville to get our cupcakes. I think they get the distance award, for sure. It was such a nice compliment to me that they did this.
About 2 weeks after this, Jennalee called to tell me that Steve had unexpectedly passed away. My heart broke for her and the boys. I just couldn’t imagine. I thought about what I/we could do to help this family. We have decided to donate ½ of our sales this upcoming Saturday, April, 26th to Jennalee and her family. We would love to see as many of you as possible come in and help us help this family through this tough time.
Jennalee sent me a little info on Steve along with a few pictures for you to get to know a little bit about him.
Steve and I have been married for 5 years and started dating when I was in high school. We have two young boys; Layne (3), and Aaron (9 months). Steve worked for FedEx for 16 years and earned Bachelor's Degrees in Human Resources and Business Management. He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, listening to music, playing guitar, and spending as much time as he could outside.

We were lucky enough to have an ad made for us by The Morning Zoo on WNCI (97.9)

Cakey. Cuppy. Starry.
My cupcake brush with fame :) I was asked to make custom cupcakes for none other than Rob Lowe for his 48th birthday. I was so thrilled and honored to be asked! I thought it was great that they picked a baker from his home state. He has some thoughtful friends! I made up the cupcakes and toppers and shipped them out to California. As you can see Rob tweeted them and posed for a picture with one for me. What a nice guy.
Check out our even newer gallery!
Thanks to all of your exciting requests for cupcakes, not only did we add a second Gallery page to accommodate all of the pictures, but we've also added a Tumblr Gallery! We think you'll find it easier and more fun to view our pictures here. This will be our most updated gallery, yet! You can even sign up for an RSS feed so you don't miss any photos!
As always, you can see our pictures on Tumblr and Facebook, too!
