Dozens and dozens of freshly baked, frosted, delicious cupcakes were given out by Pam Turkin, of Farmington Hills, left, owner of Just Baked (Livonia, Novi, Royal Oak, Ann Arbor) and her staff, Amy Gallagher, of Ann Arbor, Elizabeth Licht, of Northville, and Jordon Strom, of Farmington Hills, at The Parade Company / Target pre-fireworks party atop Millers Garage on the Detroit River Monday night.

We want to thank our customers for voting Just Baked  “Best Dessert” in Hour Detroit magazine’s tenth-annual Best of Detroit readers’ poll.  We are so excited to be a part of this awesome group of businesses and look forward to serving up some wonderful treats at the Best of Detroit party on June 24 at MotorCity Casino Hotel!

Our Twelve Oaks Mall location won Best Store Design in the 13th Annual Visual Victories Award from The Specialty Retail Report.

Here’s what SRR had to say: “A judicious use of the color palette—soft chocolate browns accented with pink—speaks to the wildly popular cupcake theme effortlessly. The cupcake display case and the associated graphics at the entrance leave little doubt about what is sold inside. The wall graphics behind the display units and counter continue to sell the cupcake theme. The simple typeface and icon used for the logo, the interior menu boards and the wall graphics all work to tie the concept together.”

Pam Turkin opened her first cupcake store by accident. “I overbaked,” she says.

She’d been happily making cupcakes in her bakery in Livonia for resale to retailers for months–until the day she made too many.
