Cupcakes in Johannesburg, South Africa

I don't have a URL or any photos/contact info, but this article in The Times from South Africa called "I Love my shop with ilovecupcake" is pretty interesting. If anyone has any more information on this shop, please let us know.

Update: Ask and ye shall receive: the owner of ilovecupcake just contacted us to tell us that they have a website and she has a blog, where I got this photo below from.

What kind of shop is it?

ILOVECUPCAKE sells only cupcakes. We offer a variety of 18 cupcakes to make absolutely sure that there is something delectable for every palette.

The delectable flavours range from classic vanilla, strawberry and chocolate to the deluxe blends of flourless Black Forest, delicate rose and Maraschino cherry.

While caramel mud and peanut cupcakes will satisfy the sweetest of children’s taste buds, the brandy chocolate, tiramisu, lemon meringue and white chocolate topped with a Ferrero Rocher, have been created for the discerning cupcake candidate.

Who runs it?

Myself. I’m the co-owner and creative mastermind behind the selection.

Tell us the story behind the name of the shop
We believe in the KISS principle, Keep it Simple, Stupid! So, the name needs to tell you exactly what the product is, and secondly connect with you emotionally.

When did it open?

The Johannesburg shop opened in the first week of November. The Centurion shop opened the first week in January. We are planning the third shop in June in Parktown North.
