Jubilee Cupcakes opens today in Tacoma, Washington, with a celebration from 5-8 pm.
From Spew Blog of Weekly Volcano:
Jubilee Cupcakes & Vintage Candy announced it will open Friday, July 23 in the Proctor District spot formerly occupied by Sweet Things Cupcakes & Couture. According to a press release, Jubilee will incorporate a back-to-basics approach to cupcakes, which means, "that all cupcakes, buttercreams, chocolate and caramel sauces, various ganaches, meringues, lemon curd and marshmallows used in Jubilee cupcakes (and espresso drinks) are homemade from their own recipes and perfected over decades."
However, as the cupcake crumbles, Jubilee is actually Sweet Thing's owner Patti Frank's rebirth of the cupcake. She has reinvented her Sweet Things cupcakes, and her business model, reopening Friday with a new name, a new look and, as she told me over the phone, "the best cupcakes in the state."
Frank wasn't happy with her recipe, the clothing retail portion of her store, or the seating inside and out. Friday, the clothes are gone, replaced with vintage candy from Hammond's Candies, including old-fashioned lollipops, ribbon candy, and hand-pulled taffy.
"It's the kind of candy popular in the 1940s through 60s," she explained.
The store will also carry cupcake accessories, party supplies, and greeting cards.
Tonight's grand opening will feature their July flavor, chocolate raspberry, which Spew Blog describes as "Valrhona dark chocolate cake filled with a chocolate raspberry ganache, topped with raspberry buttercream and a market-fresh berry."
Their rotating flavors including Elvis, salted caramel, triple lemon, pink champagne, s'more, lemon coconut, chocolate coconut and hummingbird.

(I couldn't eat all this frosting but this cookies and cream cupcake looks amazing!)
