Before cupcakes, the only vehicle for frosting consumption was the bare hand, and the only place to load frosting onto that vehicle was the neighborhood frosting bucket. Eat frosting the evolved way with today's deal: for $18, you get a dozen cupcakes from Noland's Cakes in Pleasanton (a $36 value).
Noland's is a small bakery packed with a variety of delicious baked goods and in-house cake artists. Order a dozen cupcakes to treat family and friends, or buy up to three of today's Groupon and have enough cupcakes to supply an upcoming birthday party or cupcake battle, otherwise known as the most wasteful of wars. Noland's constructs its cupcakes from a variety of a cake flavors, frostings, and fillings. Cake flavors include classics such as chocolate and strawberry swirl or specialty flavors like red velvet and yellow amaretto. Frostings include buttercream, cream cheese, a non-dairy whip option, and more. Cake fillings are largely fruit-based, such as lemon, raspberry, or fresh-sliced banana, though less-fruity fillings such as vanilla, rum, and chocolate custards can also be found hiding inside these decadent creations. All specialty flavors, fillings, and frostings cost an extra $.50 per cupcake.
Cupcakes make delicious hand-held desserts, somewhat sticky headphones, and unusual living-room décor. When ordering these versatile treats from Noland's, calling ahead is not necessary, unless you wish to order the rotating flavor of the week. Though cupcake varieties vary by the day, you'll be able to pick out the dozen that make your mouth, eyes, and ears water the most.
