Baltimore's Charm City Cupcakes opens 2nd location



Lots of cupcake bakeries are doing so well they're opening up another branch! Go cupcakes!



The latest is Baltimore's Charm City Cupcakes. Baltimore Business Journal reports:

Sandra Long, owner of Charm City Cupcakes, is opening her second retail location Thursday at the Doubletree Inn at the Colonnade.

With varieties such as Black-Eyed Susan and Gourmet Turtle, Charm City Cupcakes opened its first bakery and retail store on downtown Baltimore's Charles Street in 2005. Long said she opened in the Charles Village hotel near Johns Hopkins University because the hotel's owner was seeking out new small retailers. Opening in the location required a "minimal" investment since the hotel's owners funded the store's buildout, Long said.

The 700-square-foot store includes a café that serves Starbucks. To celebrate the new location, Long is offering 24 flavors of her mini-cupcakes --including strawberry banana and red velvet -- for 50 cents. The store's most popular flavor is the dark chocolate cupcake, topped with vanilla butter cream and Ghirardelli chocolate.


Here's their two locations; visit their site for directions and more information.

I'm suprized Ms.long the owner is still in business. She should pay her emplotees. I worked for her and she lied for over a month about my check in the mail. I went to the board of labor then found out I wasn't the only one. They are so overpriced and if you saw how she works it would turn you away.

I agree, I can not believe Ms. Long is still in ANY business. SHE DOES NOT PAY HER EMPLOYEES!!! She makes excuse after excuse and then when she runs out of excuses she fires you, or literally stands there and yells at you in such a belittling manor until you walk away. She treats her employees like slaves and then refuses to pay them. She did this to 2 other employees besides me when I worked for her in 2001, and it appears from public records that she has not changed one bit!!!
