I laughed so hard when I read about their theories regarding Utah and Jell-O. I've never lived in Utah, but I AM a Mormon. What's not to love about Jell-O? It's inexpensive, has no last-minute prep work, can be prepared hours before it's needed, can be easily transported to the sick and afflicted and to family events (we do a LOT of food transportation!), it's totally colorful, kids and adults love it...and if you throw in fruit or shredded carrots (ewww) it can be served as a salad on the ward buffet line! Oh, and it can be made into TONS of other things- whipped, mixed with Cool Whip, poked into warm cakes, Jigglers, molds, etc. Ha- to listen to me, you'd think it's all we eat! (Personally, I think I opened one package of Jell-O in the past year, and that was when I had the flu.But it DOES have a lot of strong points!)<BR/><BR/>Great write up about this cute little bakery! If I'm ever down there, we'll have to give it a try :)myrnie_twinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14677898541522453126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554049149798699784.post-76279275416487231652008-05-05T09:11:00.000-07:002008-05-05T09:11:00.000-07:00Well if I'm ever in Salt Lake City...<BR/><BR/>I always thought it would be fun to own a cupcake shop, but I'd have to include more than just cupcakes. That one that you featured in Tacoma recently... I found out that it's owned by my nephew's buddy's sister (and her mom.)

It suggested that because they don't smoke or drink or even take caffeine, their great vice is sugar. Your suggestion makes more sense to me though.Lydiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00264528751132293972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8554049149798699784.post-13345142984205187052008-05-05T08:33:00.000-07:002008-05-05T08:33:00.000-07:00I saw one of their delivery trucks driving down the street in Salt Lake the other day and the driver was smoking.
