My alma mater starts selling cupcakes: Cub Cakes by Cal Dining at Berkeley

From the University of California at Berkeley (where I graduated in 1996) comes news of cupcakes for sale daily for $2.75 on campus (rotating locations):

The cupcakes are made in-house by executive pastry chef Bob Reich, a classically trained Pastry Chef with an extensive pastry and baking background, including the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco and, more recently, at Market Hall Bakery.

Cal Dining chose cupcakes as their product of choice because of their popularity in today's market. "Cupcakes are a hot trend," said Chuck Davies, associate director of Residential Dining. "Cal Dining and Honey Bear think our Cub Cakes are every bit as good as others available, and we want to be able to provide a quality product — real butter, organic eggs — and exciting flavors to our customers at a reasonable price."

Flavors being offered include "Saucy Red Velvet," "Blonde Ambition," and "Funky Monkey" among others. There are also vegan options available.


Yeterday's flavors were Sel de Mer, Snowball, Blond Ambition and Vegan Chocolate. Today they will be at Pat Brown's at 11 am. Follow @CalDining on Twitter or Cal Dining on Facebook to keep up with where they'll be each day.
