'Where's Wini': Bel Air, Havre de Grace Cupcakes

Harford County's tourism website featured the county's two cupcake shops.

Cupcake wars? The real winner is Harford County—which has two cupcake shops.

Haford County tourism manager Wini Roche recently visited both shops and featured each—with their respective salted caramel treats—in her monthly blog. Roche held her own "cupcake war," playing off Flavor Cupcakery's win on the television show in 2011, and deemed herself the winner.

No Contest! Sweet Devotion far outranks Flavor in quality and...yes, Flavor. We actually did our own contest with a group of 6 adults and 5 kids. We had 3 varieties from each shop, and didn't tell the participants where the cupcakes came from until after all the ratings were done. Top three ratings belonged to the three Sweet Devotion cupcakes, and they all disappeared...one variety of the Flavor…   more ›

Year in Review: Cupcakes in December

Bel Air Patch looks back at the biggest stories of the year.

With 2011 coming to a close, Patch is taking a few moments to look back and highlight some of the stories that tugged at our heartstrings and flared our tempers. What story impacted you the most? How did the event shape the community? Tell us in the comments. In December, a Bel Air cupcake shop won the popular Food Network show "Cupcake Wars." The win drew attention to the store and plenty of community support. Shelley Stannard, owner of Flavor Cupcakery, told Patch she feels winning "Cupcake Wars" was less an individual triumph and more a win for Bel Air and small business. "I don't think of it as much as a personal victory, but as, 'Wow, look at what we all can do,'" said Stannard. Stannard is also looking at the possibility of opening …

Victory Is Sweet for Bel Air Cupcake Shop

After winning "Cupcake Wars," owner of Bel Air's Flavor Cupcakery shares about the experience.

Shelley Stannard, owner of Flavor Cupcakery, says she feels winning "Cupcake Wars" is less an individual triumph and more a win for Bel Air and small business. "I don't think of it as much as a personal victory, but as, 'Wow, look at what we all can do,'" said Stannard, 45, who opened the business in 2010. Just days after the episode of the popular Food Network show featuring Flavor Cupcakery aired, the phone at the Bel Air shop was ringing off the hook. Stannard said participating in the show, which Flavor Cupcakery won, was fueled by the store's customers. "We just kept hearing, over and over, 'Oh, you have to be on 'Cupcake Wars,'" Stannard said. When someone from the show called the shop and asked if she would be interested in appying …

They look yummy, but are very small cupcakes with lots and lots of sugary icing, and very, very expensive at $2.50 apiece. Two kids in tow, and you're spending $7.50 for 3 cupcakes, only about 2-3 bites apiece. Yikes!   more ›
