For me, baking has never just been about cupcakes or cakes. It\u2019s about celebrating life\u2019s biggest moments, bringing comfort during its hardest ones, honoring memories, and bringing people together,\u201d Malpedo shared via Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Malpedo opened her first brick-and-mortar Sugar Babe Cupcakes location in downtown Bethlehem in 2012 after starting the business online. She later relocated the bakery before closing in 2017, around the time her father became ill, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wfmz.com\/features\/eat-sip-shop\/eat-sip-shop-inspired-by-late-father-bethlehem-woman-opening-new-bakery-courage-to-begin\/article_9d7ed6d3-5932-43da-b756-5ca182f1ccd9.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">WMFZ<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>She also appeared on Food Network\u2019s Bakers vs. Fakers in 2018 and Chopped Sweets in 2020. Years earlier, Malpedo unsuccessfully tried to give cupcakes to security outside Bethenny Frankel\u2019s former daytime talk show, Bethenny. The moment later came full circle when her cupcakes became part of Frankel\u2019s birthday celebration almost three years ago.<\/p>\n<p>Frosted Chaos will offer a rotating selection of its signature cupcakes, cookies, brownies, crumb cakes and muffins, along with a coffee program.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs I begin this new chapter, I carry my Dad with me, because he believed in this dream long before I ever did. I can\u2019t wait to welcome you back,\u201d the post read.<\/p>\n<p>An official opening date has not yet been announced, but the outlet reported it\u2019s expected to open in early fall.
