Cupcake bakeries in Roanoke, Virginia

I can't find a website for Viva La Cupcake, but I like the name!

From The Roanoke Times:

Ahuero opened Viva La Cupcake on Oct. 20 on Grandin Road in Roanoke, inside a multi-tenant building that houses Valley Bank and West Pharmacy.

There she sells six to eight cupcake flavors at a time, for $2.95 each. Her signature cupcake is a chocolate concoction with white chocolate filling and milk chocolate, drizzled with fudge, on the top. Other flavors include lemon, chocolate-filled raspberry, white almond with pink almond cream frosting, coconut and many others.

She does all of the baking inside her Grandin Village home, and she also caters for special events.

It's a small enterprise, for now, and Ahuero, the mother of three boys and wife to an IT specialist at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salem, said she's content starting out small.

"I'm actually just really happy where we're at and what we're going to do," she said. "I'm not out to make millions on cupcakes."

Viva La Cupcake arrives just as the owner of Bubblecake, another local cupcake shop, said that she will open a second location in downtown Roanoke in November. Bubblecake will land at 16 W. Kirk Ave.

I'm a Roanoke native who currently lives in Salem (and has a small out-of-my-house cupcakery). I found the website for Viva La Cupcakes. It's sort of bare-bones for now, but her location is great!
