Coastal Cupcakes won't be serving up its trademark treats for retail customers after the end of December, according to its owner Kristen Beckmeyer.
In a telephone call Wednesday, Beckmeyer said that her newest venture, taking Coastal Cupcakes' popular frostings into grocery stores, is monopolizing her time these days and she can't manage both aspects of her business. Topsee Tulip Frosting, already in 17 Lowes Foods stores as well as in Tidal Creek Cooperative, Roberts Grocery and Whole Foods stores here and in Chapel Hill, keeps getting bigger.
"Topsee Tulip is blowing up," Beckmeyer said Wednesday. "We just got into three more Whole Foods stores yesterday. Topsee Tulip has national possibilities and I want to jump in while it's hot."
