THE RESULTS
MADRONA It seems only fitting that the original Cupcake Royale played up a Valentine classic with Cupid Redux. Will their rad new take on that winged baby in the buff be enough to take down what the other three stores have cooking? You decide...

CAPITOL HILL Newcomer to the Cupcake Royale scene, Capitol Hill had a lot to prove. They pulled out all the stops with a pair of lovers, with only one thing that could come between them...a cupcake. But, is it enough to take their place at the head of the Royale pack? You decide...

BALLARD If you've ever been to our Ballard café, you know three things about the staff. 1. They are quite the clever crew. 2. They take their coffee very seriously. 3. They freaking love bunnies. Ballard really showed their true colors with Cup of Love. Will their witty messages of Valentine love combined with their mad bunny drawing skillZ be enough to pull off the win? You decide...

WEST SEATTLE Cupcakes? Yeah, we got your cupcakes. Right here. All shapes. All sizes. In all your favorite flavors. Now come on in and have yourself a Valentine's Day Royale.
XOXO
West Seattle
P.S. Did we mention we're amazing artists? Oh, we didn't? Well, we are.

If West Seattle's display came with a note, we're pretty sure that's what it would say. Is their Valentine Royale enough? The Royale-iest, so to speak? You decide...

Ok people. You've seen 'em all, now pick ONE. Head on over to our Facebook page and cast your vote on our wall! There's a lot at stake here. Hearts will be broken. Do not take this task lightly. We REALLY recommend you visit each and every store in person. We can't stress this enough. And while you're there, you might as well have yourself a cupcake, eh? Maybe even a Deathcake...

Cartoon Friday!

Ok, so maybe Cartoon Friday will become a thing, and maybe it won't. But, today, it is totally a thing. Jody found this super sweet cartoon on YouTube, and you all need to see it, too. (Turns out, between her super big time national media interviews and live spots frosting up huckleberry cupcakes on KOMO, Bosslady likes to kick back and unwind with a little of the YouTube.) It's a super simple, easily digestible, there's-no-way-you-can't-understand-this summation of the public health care option. Plus, it's animated, lime green, and one of the stick figures has two heads, or as some like to say DOUBLE HEADS!

Summer Fest Takes Over the Junction!

Oh you SO wish you were in West Seattle right now. If you were, you could be hanging out with the oh-so-lovely Sandra Bermeo and her dashing sidekick Jordan Wilkins. These two hold it down in West Seattle like nobody's business. So, stop wishin' and get on over there! It's Summer Fest in the Junction and we are livin' it up cupcake style. Come by and get a Strawberry 66 cupcake for the low-low Summer Fest price of $2. QUE GANGA! And then wash it all down with a refreshing iced coffee beverage made from freshly brewed Stumptown Coffee. Truly fine, indeed.

After you get your sweet, sweet cupcake on, support all the great businesses of the Junction as they host a killer sidewalk sale with everything from CDs to paintings to one-of-a-kind jewelry. Then, don't miss the show at 4:45, when the Magic Mirrors (remember Jordan from the photo? That's his band!) take the same stage as the one and only Mudhoney. Yes, THE Mudhoney. OK, so maybe they are not going to be on the stage at the same time, but the Magic Mirrors will play the Alaska Stage at 4:45, and then Mudhoney ends the night with their set at 8:10. Yeah Jordan!

Summer Fest fun is all weekend long. Food, fun, friends, plus live music, a sidewalk sale and more! For more info check out the official Summer Fest website. And we'll see YOU on the West Side!
