There are 200-250 cupcakes made everyday and they’re all sold out. <br /><br />Sometimes, second deliveries are also made. We wanted to be able to work out something that we can sustain without compromising on the quality or generosity of ingredients,” she wraps up. For details, call 9986761619. <br /></p>
