Cupcake Photo Shoot!

Last night, the cast and creative team of CUPCAKE assembled at the home studio of the incredibly talented Joel Benjamin to take some photographs for the show. This was also the first time that the cast and creative/production side of the show all got to meet each other, so it was a particularly exciting evening, and Joel was incredibly kind in opening up his home to us for a few hours (5 cast members + 3 creators + 1 producer/director + Marketing + PR + Associate Producer + Joel + Joel’s 2 lovely pups = 1 big party).

By the end of the night, Joel had taken over 700 pictures. Here’s just a few of our favorites:

It’s a Short, Short Season…

CUPCAKE is a flirty love-letter to Summertown, a free-spirited seaside resort where every mouth waters for Tom and his irresistible cupcakes.

But rookie Officer Stone, looking hot in his spotless uniform, is on the prowl: the law clearly states that street sales of food are taboo. The locals, especially the hunky Lifeguard and the sexy-nerdy Librarian, relish Tom’s contraband cupcakes and help their adored baker boy avoid arrest. Meanwhile the ruthless Real Estate Agent (who bears a remarkable resemblance to the Tourist, the Judge, and the Captain of the Women’s Softball Team) intends to seal her own sweet deal.

If anyone is going to get their hunger satisfied, they’d better hurry: this is Summertown, and the short, short season is almost at an end.
