The Three C's: Cruise, Cupcakes, and Champagne

Flirty Cupcakes normally cruises the streets of Chicago delivering treats from a van called "Big Blue" and letting customers know where to find 'em by updating their Facebook and Twitter feeds. But on Tuesday, August 10 you won't need to check their Twitter feed to find them, head on over to Shoreline's Navy Pier (Ogden slip) dock and get ready for one sweet night!

The Flirty Cupcakes Cruise is being held on Tuesday, August 10 at 7 pm and you're invited! For $30 dollars you'll sample Flirty Cupcakes minis, drink champagne (there's also a cash bar), and enjoy a gorgeous cruise on Lake Michigan.

There are only 80 tickets available, so don't wait to snap up these tickets!

And if you want something savory prior indulging on the Flirty Cruise, Harry Caray's Tavern on Navy Pier is offering ticket holders a 10% discount on dinner before the cruise!
