🐰 Not Buttercream, But Still Sweet – A Chance to Hang Out with Me in VA!



Hey Cupcake Lovers,

I know this isn’t your usual buttercream-frosted content, but I wanted to share something special with you.

Most of you know me as the baker behind JavaCupcake, but when I’m not whipping up cupcakes, I’m running Rock Island Farm, a small farm in Virginia that brings people together through the simple joy of Holland Lop bunnies.

And this year? You have a chance to come hang out with me—and the bunnies!

In 2025, we’re hosting Bunny Breaks across Virginia, giving people a reason to pause, breathe, and snuggle a bunny. Whether you’re local or planning to visit, I’d love to see you at an event!

📍 2025 Bunny Break Locations:

  • April – Arlington, VA
  • May – Charlottesville, VA
  • June – Danville, VA
  • July – Scottsville, VA
  • August – Virginia Beach, VA
  • September – Roanoke, VA
  • October – Dillwyn, VA
  • November – Fort Belvoir, VA

We’re also hosting three Adopt a Lop events, where you can bring home a Holland Lop bunny raised with love:

📅 2025 Adoption Dates:

  • May 3 – Gilmanor Farm Swap, Glen Allen, VA
  • September 20 – Gilmanor Farm Swap, Glen Allen, VA
  • December 14 – Rock Island Farm, Scottsville, VA

So if you’re in Virginia this year (or want a good excuse for a road trip), come say hi, hug a bunny, and spend some time with us.

Thanks for letting me pop into your inbox with something a little different—I’ll be back to buttercream soon!
