Hey Cupcake! The Original Lake Travis Area Food Trailer

Written by Mandy Spivey | August 13, 2014

If you frequently pass through the intersection at Ranch Road 620 and 2222 at Four Points (or spend time sitting there in traffic), you can’t miss the vintage Airstream trailer with a big cupcake on top. Hey Cupcake! is one part awesome mini cakes and one part excellent service — and together you get the full Hey Cupcake! experience.

You might remember when Hey Cupcake! first started out at the South Congress location. Not long after that, another Airstream was added to the fleet and parked out at the Four Points location in front of Thundercloud Subs. It was one of the first food trailers to land in the Lake Travis area.

Lake Travis Real Estate: On Pace For Another Record Year?

Written by Todd Hower | August 12, 2014

With the summer buying season coming to a close and the start of the school year less than two weeks away, it’s a good time to look back at the first half of the year and look ahead at what might happen during the final quarter of 2014.

The Lake Travis real estate market started off in 2014 where it left off in 2013 — with a low inventory of single family homes for sale. The demand started as early as February and it didn’t take long to see multiple offers start rolling in and competition between home buyers heat up.

Looking back now you can see that it wasn’t uncommon for the average days on market to be 10 days or less and the sale-to-list price ratio at 99% or above — meaning that most homes were selling at or above list price.

Living Desert Ranch: An Eclectic Cactus Shop in the Lake Travis Area

Written by Mandy Spivey | August 11, 2014

Texas has its fair share of spiky, thorny plants. Hearty cacti, tall Yucca trees, spiny succulents — these are the green growing goods that make planting in Central Texas so exciting.

When you’re on the search for a new collection of cacti to add to your landscaping, head to Living Desert Ranch. Just up Highway 71 in Spicewood sits this quaint greenhouse and shop run by cactus aficionado Darrell Dunton. You may have recognized their shop in Bee Cave but they have since moved onto this private property just a few miles up the road. The extra space has given the grower a lot of room to expand his operations and business.
