Steve at Taste writes in…

I was always a fan of Button Cakes Cupcakes and when I heard about Viola closing I had an idea. Now that idea has come true.

Taste in Decatur now has a full cupcake case. Holly, the baker, brings them in fresh every morning. The waste is donated to a homeless shelter. So far we have sold out almost everyday by 3 or 4 pm. We up upping our quotas to meet demand. These cupcakes are fantastic. There are very few baked goods in Atlanta that will call your name in the middle of the night. These will.

One Decaturite helping another. Holly is thrilled to have her case in our store and so are we. Her website lists the flavors available theoretically but anyone can call us for a daily flavor list @ 404 370 1863.

You can also purchase Button Cakes Cupcakes at Cafe Cliche on West Ponce.

A few notes from around the city…

• According to the Decatur Minute, Leon’s Full Service is now open for lunch daily at 11:30a (except Monday).
• Also from the Minute, Greene’s is offering 40% off all in-store purchases today in honor of one of the owners birthdays.
• As was noted in a recent post, Cafe Cliche is now open for business in the old Indie Coffee & Books space and is serving Button Cakes Bakery cupcakes.
• Next Stop notes that Bistro in a Box will have weekly food and wine tastings on Saturday from 12p-6p.  “Some of our usual offerings include basil crusted chicken, peppercorn flank steak, hummus, a cheese display, spinach and artichoke dip, and other menu items that we are developing. It is all free and open to anyone.”
• According to Daily Candy, The Cookie Studio has new weekend hours (Sat 12p-5p)
• Tastings will be featuring live music on Saturday nights from 8:30p-10:30p.  This Saturday Jeff Soileau will be playing ambient instrumental acoustic guitar.

Anything else?

I received an email from Holly at Button Cakes Bakery this morning asking to be added to DM’s links list.  After jumping over to her website, I was intrigued and asked for more info.  Apparently Holly’s Button Cakes Bakery just opened inside Viola and will be selling a wide variety of cupcakes throughout the day (and into the evening) to anyone that wants to stop by or call in and place an order!

Mini cupcakes are $1.25, while the regulars are $2.50.

Here’s more from Holly…

Our cupcakes are baked from scratch daily and available Wed-Sun (hours on my website) at the cafe. We are closed on Mon &Tue but take special orders placed in advance for delivery or pick-up on those days. Unless I am on a delivery or out doing sales, I will be there to wait on people buying cupcakes Wed-Sun. If I am not there, the staff at Voila can also help folks. We have a bakery case with our cupcakes displayed inside. The cupcakes are also available to order with any meal you have at Voila.

Many of the flavors sound very dangerous…in a good way.  Can’t wait to try one!
