gluttens for gluten!

POSTED ON Friday, May 15, 2009 AT 14:49 by saint cupcake

so, we want to apologize to all you gluten intolerants who politely ask that we make some cupcakes sans wheat gluten. some of you beg, some of you offer suggestions, and some of you actually get mad at us. i know if i didn’t get my daily dose of gluten, i might get a little ticked off, too. (by the way, doesn’t the word ‘gluten’ sound slimier than it is? i think gluten was given the wrong name at birth) but i just wanted to explain to you WHY we don’t carry gluten-free cupcakes. a) eeww. b) our baking space is so small that we couldn’t possibly keep the flying gluten particles from landing on anything. and in order to have a gluten-free product, it REALLY has to be gluten free. free from all gluten. no gluteno.  and c) we just don’t have gluten free.

we’re sorry! really we are!

Dear Justin Timberlake,

how is it possible that you look good in anything you wear? and those jeans? the ones from your william rast clothing line? i swear they make my husband look 20 lbs lighter. so, not only do you look good in your clothes, but other people look good in your clothes, too. magic!

i can’t believe how funny you are. i mean, you had me at ‘omeletteville’, but SNL this past saturday really put me over the edge.
and, sure, supermainstream pop music isn’t really my thing, but ‘sexyback’ really does something for me.

basically, justin timberlake, i just really want you to know that we’re saving a special seat at the counter for you here at saint cupcake. and yes, (since most men ask,) you can lick the icing spatulas. anytime.

love,
jami

mother’s day plans?

POSTED ON Tuesday, May 05, 2009 AT 10:46 by saint cupcake

because you don’t know if mom (or mom-in-law) might just pop over unexpectedly this sunday for mother’s day, you’re going to want to have cupcakes on hand, no? you could always give mom the gift of the promise of some cupcakes by purchasing a delicious saint cupcake gift certificate! either way, it’s a scientific fact that mom’s and mom-like figures (uncle jesse?) love cupcakes. and she loves you, too.

oh, did you say you wish you could give your mom saint cupcake’s cupcakes but she lives out of state? get your order in today (wednesday!) and you could ship her an adorable cupcake kit! click here for more info!

questions. and answers?

POSTED ON Wednesday, April 22, 2009 AT 14:59 by saint cupcake

for some reason, cupcakes generate lots and lots of questions. so many that we even have an entire Q & A page dedicated to solving cupcake mysteries. but we also get asked questions that we are sometimes not sure how to answer. for example, last week at the cascade aids project art auction, i was there handing out toasted coconut cream and hot fudge on chocolate cupcakes when two lovely women approached me, collected cupcakes and asked me, (and real loudly!) “WHO OWNS YOU?”

i thought about it for a second. then i shouted back, “NO ONE OWNS ME, SISTER!” and i snapped my fingers. and then i said that matt and jami own saint cupcake.

once in a while people will ask things like: can i buy cupcakes by the dozen?, is there any meat in our malt ball cupcake?, can i just come in and buy cupcakes?, are there any trans fats in your muffins?, what day do you have black velvet?, can i get banana pudding? do you know sprinkles? is that story true? (with regard to the story painted on the wall of our nw store), can you make cupcakes look like boobies? and my personal favorite: do i just eat these with my teeth?

yes, no, yes (of course!), no, we don’t, pudding? intimately, but of course, they already kind of do and teeth are not required are the answers i like to give.

thanks america, for your great questions. keep them coming!
