Question of the Day: Whatever Happened to the Cupcake Van?

North Fork Patch reader misses the pink van decorated like a cupcake that used to park around town.

Reader Bobbie Peters sent this email to us this week:

"Last year there was a pink van decorated like a cupcake that parked on the north side of the Main Road. I believe it was in Mattituck, but could have been Jamesport. It wasn't as far east as Cutchogue. Any idea what happened to it? The kids are asking about it this summer."

If you have seen the cupcake truck lately — or better yet, if you are the owner — let Bobbie know so she can get her kids their summer cupcakes. Feel free to comment in the boxes below.

Sweet Jenni's in Center Moriches is still using the "fueled by frosting" cupcake truck. It is still available to be rented as well. I recently saw it parked on Main Street in Westhampton Beach Village where Sweet Jenni's was making a delivery to a local sweet shot that sells their products.

Found him on Facebook: Fueled By Frosting  & he seems to be related to another FB page: Sweet Jenni's Bake Shop on Main St in Center Moriches. A bit out of the way, but someday!  Thanks  for the posting Erin, and to my fellow patches for the hints!

even worse?...When I had the publisher of North Fork Magazine contact me regarding the blatantRead More violation, what were his comments?? To add further insult to injury, he said & I quote: "I thought I was doing Greenport a favor...all of the businesses there are suffering...this paper doesn't make any money...sure I have advertisers but they don't pay their invoices...maybe if the cover of the magazine brings business to Greenport, maybe those merchants will pay their bill.."

Better yet, rather than pay mag's invoice. send $$$ to Artist.
Scotty June 16, 2013 at 08:41 pm
And he really still doesn't see that he's stealing from the artist to 'bring business to Greenport'?Read More The effrontery of his comment leaves me aghast. Of ALL people who should grasp the concept of plagiarism and copyright laws, it should be a newspaper editor/publisher! Cropping out her signature proves they knew full well that they were stealing her work. I'd suggest the artist contact a copyright attorney pronto. I'm always astonished when something like this occurs when a simple phone call to the artist might have been successful in allowing him to use her work WITH her signature intact instead of doing something so underhanded.

I have a 16mm and great 1940s speakers for it. Hope your film holds up for viewing...thrilled to putRead More it to good use. Call my office 477-6993

I've just tried to do a Google search for you and from what I've found you need to either check withRead More your local library to see if they have one they might lend you--OR--try Audio/Visual online companies. There are some which DO rent projectors for days or weekends. I have one but just checked with my husband and at the very least it needs a replacement bulb(which are fairly expensive)--hasn't been looked at in years so there's no way I could guarantee it would work. You've definitely given me an idea, though--I'll get mine in shape at some point and rent it to folks for a nominal sum. I'm sure there are many others who have old film they'd enjoy viewing for family reunions as would my own family. Good luck. If you don't succeed for next weekend, you have other options. At the very least you might be able to have the film transposed to a DVD and distributed to your family members although that's costly too, depending on how many copies you need. Just a thought, but you could add the old footage in with some taken AT the reunion as a nice follow-up gift for the attendees?

I think it adds character.
Eric Larson June 11, 2013 at 07:51 pm
a foto of the old jail in Greenport would have more character than a wooden sign but beauty is inRead More the eyes of the beholder.

In this day of the dawning of digital photography Patch could advertise $10-$100 per photo and haveRead More a list of upcoming and current photo ops for moonlighters to access. The result could be a new dimension of online journalism.

I believe this photo is a poor example of pollution on Long Island. I would prefer to see and photoRead More of a million dollar home with a lush green lawn mowed to a bulkhead above the waters edge. I believe the excess fertilizers used to keep the invasive specie of the lawn grasses green along with the broad-leaf pesticides to keep the "weeds" controlled are a prime source of pollution to our local bays, estuaries and ocean front.

Thank you for your comment Steve, we have a big section of the land pollution chapter specificallyRead More about run-off pollution related to pesticides and other toxins. We really need more fundraising to help us, visit the fundraiser page here: http://igg.me/at/long-island-pollution/x/3272641 to donate and become a contributor to the film. Thank you for your support!
