Southport Grocery Cupcakes delivered to your door!

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Know an ex-Chicagoan who’s got a birthday coming up? How about an far flung friend in need of cupcakes? Ship them a dozen of our famous cupcakes! That is right we ship our cupcakes to those who need their cupcake fix. Available in all vanilla, all chocolate, or half of each – they are sure to brighten up anyone’s day when a box of our cupcakes arrives at their doorstep. Let them sit for a bit (to defrost) and they will be just as good if they had walked in the store that day!

Our cupcakes are tasty and fluffy – to die for. Read more about the cupcakes and see what others are saying on our cupcake page.

The cupcakes are made the day before they are shipped, frozen for shipping, packed in a special cupcake box to make sure they arrive in perfect order, and shipped overnight to their destination. The receivers not up to scarfing down a full dozen cupcakes? They can be kept frozen for up to two weeks. To enjoy, all they need is to sit for a few hours and thaw to perfection.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to give us a ring at 773-665-0100.

Introducing the Southport Grocery Cupcake Truffle!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Individual Cupcake truffles Yes, that is right – a Southport Grocery Cupcake Truffle. Who could possibly think of such a device of comfort and indulgence? None other than our favorite confectioner: Nicole from truffle truffle. What is a Southport Grocery Cupcake Truffle? Imagine for a moment our cupcakes: soft vanilla cake that melts in your mouth, the richness of buttercream frosting lighting all the right synapses. Now, pull that all inside a thick layering of milk, dark, or white chocolate. That’s Southport’s famous cupcake center, rolled in our buttercream frosting, enrobed in a shell of chocolate and top them off with a wide selection sprinkles. Mouth watering yet?

They are available now, $1.50 individually or $24 for 12 in a truffle truffle tin with Southport’s signature blue ribbon. They will also be available on Thursday the 11th to pack in your truffle truffle container. We are overjoyed to bring you this perfect collaboration between two local Chicago businesses.

Pick one up for yourself and another as gift – what could be better?
