The Cupcake Truck fixing to roll up on city sweet teeth

Former attorney Kate Carrara, who runs Buttercream baking out of Philly Kitchen Share, says sweets-craving city dwellers will begin seeing her Cupcake Truck traipsing about the area in the last week of July or the first week of August. Right now she's in the thick of the oft-arduous city licensing and permits process.
The baker tells Meal Ticket that the truck, a mail delivery vehicle that's being revamped to resemble a gigantic cupcake (rendering above; check the progress on Carrara's site), will offer a selection of regular and jumbo-size cupcakes � chocolate and vanilla with various frostings, and a rotating special variety. Prices will most likely be $2 for a regular and $4 for a large (the larges are BIG, promises Carrara).
In terms of locations for the truck, Carrara hasn't set anything in stone yet, though she is considering on a potential midday stop outside the Comcast Center at 17th and JFK. "I want to have one or two downtown lunch locations, and maybe a late-night location, as well," she says. She's going to be teasing her whereabouts via her Twitter feed, so get to following.
Want to sample Carrara's wares before she goes officially mobile? She'll be catering the Cupcake Bandit Film Festival, scheduled for Saturday, July 25 at Jefferson Square Park.
Cupcakes! Yes, please.
