Parties Extra!—Sprinkles Cupcakes—October 15,2008
CUPCAKES? YUM!
Dear Readers,
Just so you will know, although OU did not win the football game last Saturday in Dallas, I was there and had the most delicious time anyway.
I had a Sprinkles cupcake.
The Sprinkles web site sells them very well, but mail order must be out of the question, so I have very patiently read about them and held the faith that because there is an Oklahoma City native involved as a founder that a cupcake store would be forthcoming.
But the great people at Moroch Advertising and University of Oklahoma Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication hosted a Journalism alumni reception at Moroch Partners Oct. 10th for the first time ever.
And they served the wonderful, decorated with an “O” fabulous cupcakes. Jody and Joe Foote (He’s the Dean), Kristen Lazalier (She’s School Development Director) and Rob Boswell (Chief Operating Officer of Moroch Partners) just served lots of them up on a three- tiered stand for all their guests.They had lots of other great party foods too, but the cupcakes added their own special brand of uniqueness.

(But, the best news is that on November 18th, Oklahoma City will have a cupcake bakery. SaraSara opens on that day at 7 NW 9th. They will feature 15 flavors of cupcakes including key lime, chocolate peanut, strawberry shortcake, southern red velvet, vanilla bean and Judge Cannon.
Toni Hoffman’s entire family are owners and they will also have a cupcake bar in Casady Square after the first of the year. They will be open seven days a week from 7:30 a.m. until 10 p.m. Actually, on Saturdays, times are 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. and Sundays, 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.
I cannot wait….they are guaranteed to be wonderful!)
