Daisy Cakes Taste Test
After a morning of yard sales in the Fairfield neighborhood (very well organized with printed directions from house to house in the large subdivision off Herndon Road), we headed downtown for a cupcake snack.
The Daisy Cakes airstream–”A Handful of Goodness”–was set up in the lot across from King’s Sandwich Shop near Central Park School for Children on Foster Street. We got in line quickly, hoping to taste a Pop’t Art but they had already sold out. Today they were just testing the market, they said, in preparation for the grand opening next Saturday.
Instead, the kids chose chocolate/chocolate and I had a Pink Lemonade (lemon cake with raspberry frosting and sprinkles). The ‘cakes were moist and tasty with a dollop of flavored frosting and decorations on top. The coffee, served from a portable push-button thermos with cream options of half & half, 2%, and whole milk plus a variety of sweeteners, was nicely strong.
I had the kids rate the cupcakes from 1 to 10. The Boy gave them a 9 (he’s a tough customer). The Girl rated them a 40. It’s not clear if she understood the scale system, but it’s possible!

let me just say that Daisy Cakes made my morning. it’s totally inspiring to see families working together. “pop tarts” were stupendous, coffee was delicious. well done.
Ooo, you got there in time for the pop’t art! Our schedule will be rearranged next week–cupcake stop first.
So … does this mean I should look for them at Foster & Geer instead of for an airstream next Saturday? (I have got to get my Saturday coffee earlier & get out there!!)
I *really* like that it seems the cupcake frosting is - as you say - a dollop. I hate it when the frosting gets all gunky in the paper wrapper.
Look for the airstream, but yes at that corner. I didn’t think of it before, but the frosting was not touching the paper; perhaps they feel the same way about the gunky. Meet you there!
