Rosie's Cupcakes was started in November 2010 by Rose and Samantha Ellia. Rose always had a dream of doing what she loved for a living, and Samantha had great ideas of how to get people in and love their product. Rosie's took off quickly when friends and family started ordering, and Rose and Samantha thought "we could really do this". In Summer 2011, Rosie's Cupcakes does four farmers markets a week and quickly built a following of loyal fans, who appreciate homemade, quality, natural cupcakes. Rosie's Cupcakes hopes to open a storefront in Portland by Summer 2012 and continue to do farmers markets.
