Baked Bliss has a number of gluten-free options, as well, for the most discerning wheat-intolerant member of your community.

What About Cupcakes starts with Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, Peanut Butter, and Oreo cupcakes. But they might change things up and offer a different flavor. The flavors and the $2.50 price might change by the day and there's literally nothing you can do about it. Take the cupcake, say thank you, enjoy it, and go about your day.
