The fun included exploring downtown Chattanooga on foot... Which brought us to a brand new shoppe: Chattanooga Cupcakes on Broad Street. The sign in the window said they would be opening on Monday. But the lights were on and we saw scrumptious looking cupcakes on display!
The door opened at our touch, so we ventured inside. The gal behind the counter introduced herself as Sonia. She said they we not open for business yet, but would we like to try a free cupcake...as a sample?
Would we!??! Of course!!
She was giving the delectible treats away to test them on the public. We were quite willing to be test subjects. The choice was difficult, but Eric went with the carrrot cake with butter cream frosting and pecan bits. I chose the chocolate cake with white chocolate truffle frosting. She packed them carefully in a to-go box, and we walked back to our car. Eric thought we should drive to another destination to get something to drink and then eat our treats at the park.
Thing is, my cupcake didn't last that long. It was gone before I got out of the car!
Ohhhhhhh people! Our taste buds were in heaven!! You've got to try some of this lady's moist, decadent cupcakes. Stop by her place at 500 Broad St - Chattanooga, TN. These are tough economic times, but I sure hope her business thrives. Everyone needs a sweet pick-me-up from time to time, right?
BTW-- Eric said he would pay 5 whole dollars for one of these babies. That is high praise, indeed. ;-)

My wife stumbled upon your blog searching for Chattanooga Cupcake's address.
I know the owners and have had the extreme pleasure of being a guinea pig while they were deciding what cupcakes to carry. You description of the cupcakes pretty much nailed it on the head. I would also like to point out that all their goods are homemade.
I haven't had a chance to get there myself yet, but if they have them, you have to try the Lemon Coconut ones.
