Kate Rivers worked as an engineer for a business that makes medical devices. Now she makes gourmet desserts for her own business – Twist Cupcakery (25 South St. Clair).
“I started baking from home” she told me. “People raved about the desserts I made, and asked if they could buy them from me. Five years ago we decided to move out of the house and operate out of this spot downtown. We’ve gotten a lot of support from the community, and business has grown steadily. We’re closed for walk in service currently, but people can order cupcakes and other products on our website and then do a curbside pick up.”
“Cakes for weddings and other special events are an important part of our business, but that ‘s not happening now. To boost sales we developed a new product that’s doing well. It’s called Cupcakes in a Jar. Each jar has two of our gourmet cupcakes. We can mail them out nationwide. It’s a great way to celebrate a special occasion with people that we can’t be with.”
“We’ve been sending our cupcakes to hospitals, testing stations and other places where people are doing so much to help the community – our way of spreading happiness and joy. Everybody need to pitch in during these tough times. We like to do it with cupcakes.”


The concept is all about choices, there are 9 different margaritas, and even more choices when you mix and match the flavors. Draft and bottled beer as well as Sangria options are also available. House Horchata, lemonade, tea and fountain drinks are also available. The menu suggests you ask your server for tequila and whiskey options. Chips and Dips are your next set of choices, starting with four salsa options, five kinds of queso and of course guacamole.

After just having reopened with a quick-serve concept earlier this month, the husband and wife owners who opened Corner Kitchen five years ago have decided against operating during the pandemic and posted this on their Facebook Page today:
A restaurant operates with a tacit public trust that the top priority is the health and well-being of the guests that they serve and the staff that they employ, and that has always been paramount for us. Neither our new model nor our previous model can survive in this current climate with our expense load and reduction in volume. We simply cannot find a financial model in any iteration of the dozens of scenarios that we have explored without either operating in an unsafe environment or incurring insurmountable debt.



Hard to believe that the
According to Brock, “while the celebration will look a bit different this year, we felt it was important to continue to have one. We were built by a community, saved in these recent times by the community, and continue to serve a community of close-knit neighbors, craft beer and food lovers, and friends. This week we invite that community to smile, drink, and share love whether here with us or virtually.
