After several years of assisting a premier dessert caterer in upstate New York, Joanne Glasgow moved to South Florida knowing that the cupcake craze sweeping the nation had not yet reached Naples, which prides itself on being progressive, upscale, and in tune with the latest trends. To test the market, Simply Cupcakes was formed and introduced at the Third Street Farmer's Market in 2006. The response was immediate and overwhelming. Although Simply Cupcakes offered a variety of flavors, the Naples Key Lime cupcake made with homemade key lime curd soon became the "signature cupcake."


Week after week, repeat customers would return raving about the cupcakes they had tasted the week before. Demand for special orders increased, and Simply Cupcakes were served at numerous upscale parties and fundraisers. We would like to thank all of our customers the past 3 years for their comments and encouragement. These sweet treats are meant to put a smile on your face, and
at Simply Cupcakes, we have accomplished just that.

Schakolad Chocolate Factory is the internationally acclaimed brand for fresh, handmade European style chocolates. Our signature chocolates are prepared with the finest ingredients and presented in the time honored traditions of quality, artistry and innovation.

Schakolad (pronounced shaq-oh-LAD) - a combination of "Schaked" and "Chocolate" - is a name associated with three generations of chocolate making. Baruch Schaked, co-founder of Schakolad, has been a chocolate maker since 1969. He began his career as a chocolatier in Argentina while working for his father-in-law, Gustavo Bar, who was the owner of one of South America`s largest chocolate factories.



Mr. Schaked traveled extensively throughout Europe to participate in courses and seminars at prestigious schools where he mastered the art of chocolate making. His education and passion paid off in the form of numerous first place awards for his scrumptious, handmade truffles at the world-renown Fontainebleau Chocolate Festival.

And, that is just the beginning of the story...
