When Hello Cupcake opened late last summer, Bindu and I were not only anxious to have a cupcake shop a stone’s throw away from the office, but for the promise of cupcake decorating classes.  So excited that we both put taking such a class on our 101/1001 lists.  The shop opened and the classes never [...]
