"Cupcake Creativity: A Sweet Journey in Team Building with The Cupcake Bar!" 🧁✨ #TeamBuildingDelight

I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience working with The Cupcake Bar! Over the past year, I've collaborated with them on over 12 events for our company, ranging from straightforward team shipments to dynamic and entertaining classes. Not only do they deliver incredibly creative products, but their team is an absolute joy to work with. Their classes are not only fun and engaging but also have a remarkable knack for bringing out the best in even the most introverted members of our groups. Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a dash of creativity and excitement to their team-building endeavors! 🧁✨ #TheCupcakeBar #TeamBuilding #CreativeEvents

Absolutely Amazing

All the way through the process of planning the wedding it was a great experience, the sweet little shop for the tasting was beautiful and gave you an idea of the entire process they have, the sweet women that work there really make you feel special and that every detail is taken care of. So happy to have had these wonderful women a part of our wedding. The guest loves the cupcakes and really enjoyed making their own cupcakes.

Excellent Service!

We have had The Cupcake Bar at our office for corporate events several times now. They are always timely, professional, and have beautiful displays. They quickly became a staple for us. They have quite the variety of creative food-related events and they're incredibly easy to communicate with. Thank you Kim and The Cupcake Bar team for bringing some fun into our office!

Team

Lori S
Lori S
Chief Celebration Officer

Spend more than five seconds interacting with Lori and you’ll soon realize three things:1-her enthusiasm is highly contagious; 2-confetti is her favorite color; and 3-her commitment to The Cupcake Bar, our team, our clients, and our community runs deep.

Each day, she ensures TCB puts forth our best and lives up to our vision and standards as a company. She’s also the mastermind behind our custom gifting solutions and small batch gift collections, and she loves that we get to help people tell their stories through celebrations. Whether it’s a big wedding, an employee gifting experience, or sharing in a virtual class, she knows it’s an honor to bring people together through joyful moments. That, she says, is something truly special.

Before starting The Cupcake Bar in 2007, Lori graduated from Texas A&M University with a BS in Nutritional Sciences and a BS in Food Science and Technology. After starting her professional career as Director of R&D for Schlotzsky’s, she received her AOS in Culinary Arts from Le Cordon Bleu Austin. She LOVES to travel, try new restaurants, watch her son play ice hockey, and spend time with her family.

(By the way, she’s an Enneagram 7, which you can tell by her endless supply of positive energy and colorful shoes.)

Favorite TCB sweet treat: Chocolate Cupcake with Chocolate buttercream and loads of gold shimmer. Extra glitter, please!

Kimberly K
Kimberly K
Director of Event Operations

Behind every successful TCB experience is the heartbeat of our team: our Director of Operations, Kim. From event logistics to to community outreach, Kim handles the behind-the-scenes details with a genuine desire to provide the best service possible.

Her meticulous planning and organizational skills help us put smiles on people’s faces day after day, year after year, event after event. She also has a knack for organizing fun moments for the Cupcake Squad (we can confirm that her annual Galentine’s Day Brunch is out of this world), and as an Enneagram 9, her capacity to truly care for our team and our clients knows no limits.

Before coming to The Cupcake Bar, Kim received her Bachelors in Business Management from Texas State University and worked as an event coordinator for 7 years. Outside of work, she likes to spend time with her dogs Dean and Winchester, hang out with her husband Greg, watch tv, and catch up with friends.

Favorite TCB sweet treat: Gluten-sensitive Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate buttercream and gold sprinkles

Incredibly fun ideas come from Lori and her team. We highly recommend them for your next event - especially when you just don't want the typical cake.

Lori and her team were a dream to work with. They provided Havana-themed roaming treats for dessert for our corporate event this past Father's Day. They were a huge hit, especially the mojito-flavored lollipops and the fried plantains! They are so creative, and very fun! Thanks for making our event a huge success!

Olive & Belle Events Olive & Belle Events Wedding Planners

My event planning company, Olive & Bell Events, collaborated with The Cupcake Bar at a recent spring wedding. The ladies at The Cupcake Bar, Lori and Kim, were always very prompt in their communication and helpful in creating a cupcake menu that satisfied all of the guests' sweet tooth. More than that...these are honestly some of the best cupcakes in Austin! So delicious and many great flavor combinations. I would recommend The Cupcake Bar to any of my future brides or clients. - Sydney
