We did everything except the design for this site. It is quite customized as far as the purchase flow.
We have had to move it and the database to dedicated servers because of the traffic. Here's a blurb from the Washington Post about it

Nice looking site Judy. Couple of comments...

1) When I click on the cupcake names in the "Custom Assortment", at least on my monitor, the pink text in the background is still strong enough to distract me when reading the description. Very nice feature though.
2) The cupcakes looked good so I was going to place an assortment order and have them shipped to work. Entered billing address for my credit card, and work address for shipping address and it wouldn't let me proceed. Said the shipping zip didn't match the billing zip. Not sure if this is intended as a fraud prevention measure or not. But for something "gifty" like cupcakes, I hope I could send them to someone else.
3) It took me 3 clicks to realize the three circles above the company name were part of the logo and took me to the same place.
4) How would you feel about removing the "      " stuff after all the footer links and using some CSS to add some right padding or margin? Not huge, but it would save you a few bytes on every request which might add up for a popular site.
5) Don't know why, but the email icon bothers me. It doesn't stack up to the high level of quality you've created throughout the rest of the site.

Other than that, I think the site is fabulous! Well done.
