In
the event industry, certain confections have their very own ‘15 minutes of fame’. We, at SoCo Events, lovingly refer to
them as “Stylish Sweets”. As Heidi Klum says on Project Runway, "...one day you're in. And the next day, you're out."
However,
over the past few years, one of these “Stylish Sweets”, better known as the
cupcake, has remained in the spotlight.
This sugary obsession has beaten all odds. Boutiques donning multiple flavors have popped up
everywhere. One of our hometown
favorites, Georgetown Cupcake, has a television show on TLC called DCCupcake. It was recently reported that
Sprinkles Cupcakes will be available 24/7 to the Washington, DC community as
early as August 2012 with their famous cupcake ATM. This cupcake machine is expected to dispense over
1,000 cupcakes a day!

As
much as our sweet tooth LOVES this trend, it was no surprise to us when we
started to see a new sugary treat strutting it’s stuff around Pinterest and with
shops popping up all over the east coast such as popbar in NYC. We are
thrilled to see where this Gourmet Popsicle and 'Poptail' trend goes. We will be more than happy to taste
test along the way!
