Cupcakes on the go

The wildly popular bakery, Cupcake, on University Ave. S.E. has expanded to downtown Minneapolis. It's an expansion they had no choice but to implement.

"With construction on University Avenue for the light rail, there's a loss of parking and it's affected business," said Kevin VanDeraa, owner of Cupcake.

The eleven-mile four-year project will eventually connect Downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul with a stop near Cupcake, but until it's done the bakery will lose all its parking and part of the front patio.

To make sure business continues to boom, VanDeraa and his team will load up a bright orange and blue van each day and park it in downtown Minneapolis.
