Caroline’s Cupcakes in Ohio scooped everyone on LeBron James decision

Amid all the craziness and wild reports about LeBron James’ impending second free agent decision, none other than a cupcake shop in Ohio scooped all the reporters.

On July 5, six days before James wrote a first-person essay announcing he would be returning to play for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Caroline’s Cupcakes in Jackson Township, Ohio, said LeBron would be coming back.

Here’s what they wrote on their Facebook page:

Just texting with a friend who is directly tied in with Lebron and his camp, and he swears on his life ‪#‎TheReturn‬ to Cleveland is a done deal. Per his sources, calls have already been made to other current Cavaliers to spread the news. If this is true, and like anything on the internet, take that with a grain of salt… are you ready to get out your old jersey and welcome Lebron home?!?

And they nailed it!

Apparently doubling as an NBA insider is also good for business for the dessert shop. Caroline’s Cupcakes were going like hotcakes on Thursday:

And being plugged-in to the NBA scene has made Caroline’s an authority on all things sports:

Congratulations to Caroline’s — they deserve all the attention after getting that scoop right.

And while we’re on the subject of scoops, let’s recognize Chris Sheridan for being so confident that LeBron was returning to Cleveland. He also got it right.
