Jenny Cox of Kettering put her law career on hold to raise her children, and figured it was time to find a new career now that her kids are heading off to college.

She found one: her business venture entitled “Go Cupcake” is the first and only mobile cupcake truck in the area.

Cox — whose husband Jeffrey is an attorney for the Dayton-based law firm of Faruki Ireland & Cox — intends to take her homemade cupcakes to festivals, fairs and other events in town . On Saturday, she’ll sell cupcakes at a soccer tournament in Old River Park in Dayton.

She has been an avid baker all her life, and when her daughter, who lives in Chicago, told her that cupcake trucks were a hot new trend in that city, Cox decided she could parlay her passion for baking, and her training as an attorney, into a business.

Besides, she says, “There’s something about cupcakes that is kind of magical.”

So now she is baking cupcakes with names such as Rockin’ Red Velvet, Irresistible Irish Mint, Peanut Buttercup Bliss, Caramel Pecan Perfection and Fluffy Lemon Love and selling them for $2.50 each. “I’d like to do this for about 10 years or so,” she said.

Go Cupcake’s website is still under construction, but it will announce its schedule on its Facebook page and its Twitter page.
