As a wonderful birthday surprise, a friend sent these tasty cupcakes from a company based out of Portland called Saint Cupcake. I was so impressed with the freshness and clever packaging (kitschy and adorable). The cakes themselves came wrapped in compostable plastic. The icing was separately packaged in compostable plastic. The cupcakes can be purchased online and you can build your own gift set. My friend selected 3 cakes: vegan chocolate, vanilla toffee, and pumpkin spice. She also selected 3 different icings and 3 types of sprinkles. I'm always a fan of colored sprinkles, but the toasted coconut was pretty yummy. The set came with instructions, a candle, a "Happy Birthday" cupcake topper and separate wooden spreaders. Building our own cupcakes was so much fun. As cupcake businesses are taking off all over the country, I think Saint has an excellent idea with their shipping options.
