Check. It. Out.

Today's the day we have all been waiting for! We are OPEN! Up and running! Baking and frosting! And so on and so forth...ON CAPITOL HILL! That's right. We swung open the doors to our beautiful new café at 1111 E Pike St this morning. If for some odd reason you haven't come by yet, here is what you're missing.



It's a thing of beauty.




That's right. Cupcake flair.



Sprinkle me bad.




Cupcake Royale + Stumptown Coffee. It doesn't get better.



You so want to sit at the head of THIS table.



Come on baby. Light my cupcake.



Sweet tees.




Fresh from the oven. Hand-frosted with love. And buttercream. REAL buttercream.



It's true. They are. Try 'em. SO good.

All of these beautiful shots are by the oh-so-talented Chelsea Fisher. She is awesome.

Sweet Sassy Molassey!

Chicken wire?
Check.

Tinsel?
Check.

Fuschia lamé?
Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-eeeck.

Yeah. That's right. It's the big sparkly cupcake. You may have seen it hoisted over the doorway here in our Ballard café and thought, "Woah. That's a big sparkly cupcake." And if you're downtown for the Pride parade this weekend, (alllll the cool kids are goin') you'll see it again...roped on top of a Mini Cooper Clubman.

Leading the way for our big-gay-sparkly-cupcake troupe will be THE Miss Cupcake Royale. Her 5 inch hot pink heels arrived in the mail today, and she's already working on her strut. Check this vintage shot of the famed CC Royale:



Oh SNAP! Grab your LEGALIZE GAY CUPCAKES tee shirt. Put on your own 5 inch hot pink heels. And we will see you there. And it will be FABULOUS.
