Hailing from an Italian clan that expressed adoration via edibles, Bellacelli Cupcakery’s head baker whips together fresh local eggs, fruits, and dairy products to create desserts that land on doorsteps in recyclable packaging. Lollicakes emulate the makeup of their cupcake cousins, flaunting bite-size morsels speared on a stick to facilitate jabbing competitors at community bake sales. Peanut-butter filling bursts from the heart of Ted dark-chocolate lollicakes, topped with semisweet chocolate buttercream. Emilia confections mimic citrusy summer sips by marrying strawberry buttercream with lemon cake and candy, and white-russian fixings spike the adult-oriented Thad lollicakes, which are perfect for celebrating 21st birthdays or throwing at the ghosts of prohibition enforcers.

Bellacelli Cupcakery extends a sugar-dusted hand to charity by donating 5% of its profits and 0% of its magic beans to Hopelink. This philanthropic organization helps to provide emergency food, housing, and financial assistance to families in crisis, and it also champions adult education and family development.
