Thank you everyone who was in attendance to the classy “A Cupcake Affair” Sunday night! There were many eager engaged couples anticipating cupcakes to go with their big day and I think its safe to say no one went home disappointed. Fima Photography from down the street joined us as well as Cafe Ponte who provided some java to wash down the yummy treats of the night!
