honor thy dad this father’s day.

POSTED ON Friday, June 06, 2008 AT 13:48 by saint cupcake

sunday june 15th is father’s day and dad wants cupcakes. he wanted you to know that the tie shaped ice cream cake is nice, but he’d really love an assortment of sunday’s saint cupcake cupcakes. you can call and place your order or bring him by on sunday and help him pick out his favorites. tell you what, we’ll give a free dot in hand to any guy wearing a #1 dad tee shirt, a bill cosby sweater (leather elbow patches not necessary to qualify!), or any hat with a fish or fish hook on it.

now please enjoy this special poem i found about fathers. feel free to write it in the card you give dad. it’s by anonymous so he or she won’t tell dad that you copied it and neither will we.
man, we love the internets.

Fathers Can Be Solitary Mountains

Fathers can be solitary mountains,
All their love rock-like, steep, and strong.
Though warm and caring, somehow they belong
Halfway home to mothers’ bubbling fountains.
Each of us needs love that knows no quarter,
Reminding us of bonds that cross a border,
Strengthening our sense of right and wrong.

don’t forget to grab a sailor or three and bring them into saint cupcake this week while you show ‘em what portland is all about. we recommend you wait until AFTER you ride that ginormous slingshot at the waterfront, though; we can’t guarantee that our cupcakes would withstand that kind of josling in the digestion process. may we recommend a bubbly pellegrino to settle that tummy?

apparently rachel overestimated how many cupcakes portland was going to need yesterday and we have an over abundance of tuesday’s cucpakes. since you didn’t come in yesterday,
stop by today and get those cupcakes at closeout prices! it’s buy one get one free! 1.50 for full size and .75 for your dot variety.

while supplies last, of course. when we run out, we can’t very well make day old cupcakes.

lost and found

this is brendan, reenacting the moment when he found a check for over nine thousand dollars here at the bakery.

this is a replica of the check:

no, i’m serious. on wednesday afternoon a really big check got away from it’s payee and fluttered to the floor of saint cupcake. you just don’t see a check like that everyday. at least i don’t.  senor butterfingers left our store over 9 thousand dollars lighter. when he got to the bank and was set to deposit his mula, there was no checky. he frantically searched his pockets for the check and must have crapped his pants. he dashed back to saint cupcake to pick it back up, praying to sweet jojoba it was here. he must have gone home to change his soiled pants first, though. thanks to our trustworthy brendan, it was still in tact and uncashed. the payee told me he brought it in with him when he came to get some cupcakes, just in case his car blew up. you’re funny, dude.

now this is danny, with another lost and found item. this fabulous silver sparkly hat that would look stunning on your mom’s walking partner. do you know who this belongs to?
