"I noted that a rent spike forced cupcake bakery Trailercakes to leave the neighborhood altogether." - Amy McCarthy
"After losing its Knox-Henderson lease amid ongoing disputes with the landlord, the cupcake bakery's owner, Heather Zidell, opted to sell the business rather than continue searching for a new location or grapple with bakery production challenges she felt unprepared for. Zidell called operating the cupcakery a great experience and said she's relieved to have a break, though the decision was bittersweet because regular customers had become like family; she also expressed confidence that the brand and its patrons will be well looked after under the new arrangement, in which an Oak Cliff pastry shop is assuming the business." - Alaena Hostetter
"After five years of slinging candy-topped cupcakes, the Knox Avenue bakery announced on Instagram that it will close its location at 3001 Knox Street this Sunday, May 27, after losing the lease. Co-owners Heather Zidell and Leora Azoulay Lesh began by selling cupcakes from a 1965 Airstream trailer they won on eBay—nicknamed Bubbles—then opened a shop in Richardson before launching the Knox location, which earned a crowd of regulars devoted to flavors like the Cookie Monster, a white cupcake with an Oreo crust and frosting. The shop has vowed to make a comeback soon and is already plotting a new location, though no new address has been announced." - Amy McCarthy
