"Cupcake shop coming to Downstreet Marketplace," Daily Gazette
Now, she plans to open Spa City Cupcakes on June 1 in the lower level of the Downstreet Marketplace at 454 Broadway.
The shop will be the first in the city to capitalize on a cupcake shop trend that started several years ago and catapulted into the limelight thanks to a cupcake-munching appearance on “Sex and the City.” In addition to the individual cakes, Spa City Cupcakes will sell coffee and tea so people can take a break with their sweets at tables in the hallway.
“They’re so special and unique, and there’s something about a cupcake that brings you back to childhood,” St. Martin said.
Key lime, peanut butter cup, caramel apple and Fluffernutter will join traditional flavors like vanilla, chocolate and red velvet on her constantly changing menu.
The Pittsburgh native also will sell a “gob” cupcake inspired by the icing-filled chocolate sandwich cookies that are called whoopie pies outside Western Pennsylvania.
