Sticky Fingers Goes to War Again

Posted by Amber McDonald on Jan 12, 2012 in Events, Food, News | 0 comments

Henry Ellis once said, “There is nothing that war has ever achieved that we could not better achieve without it.” Clearly, Mr. Ellis never saw Cupcake Wars. The darling Food Network Show is once again featuring our beloved Sticky Fingers Sweets & Eats, and on Sunday, January 14th, you can join in on the fun.  Founder Doron Petersan will be hosting a free viewing party, from 7 pm -10 pm, at Bourbon in Adams Morgan.  The event will feature free cupcakes and, Doron promises, plenty of drunken heckling.  Go cheer on the home team to victory!

Sticky Fingers Bakery seeks liquor license!

Posted by Tim Meinberg on Sep 7, 2011 in Food, News | 0 comments

You may, in the near future, be able to have a beer or glass of wine with you cupcake!!! Its like a dream come true, sweets and booze!

According to a recent interview with Doron, owner of Sticky Fingers Bakery, by the City Paper. Sticky Fingers Bakery said they are the process of applying for a liquor license!

The article talks about how Sticky Fingers has had booze cupcakes in the past but the amount of alcohol has ben very low. Getting a liquor license would allow them to get a little more crazy with their booze cupcakes. Along with the boozy cupcakes they would be able to sell Organic beer and wine.

If your reading this Doron…DC Vegan Drinks would love to help you out when this does happen! Keep us updated!

You can read the rest of the article over at Young and Hungry.
