Review - Cupcake Royale

Cupcake Royale Capitol Hill Location

Cupcake Royale

With 5 locations in the Seattle/Bellevue area, Cupcake Royale has become the biggest local cupcake brand... Each of the locations is unique, and adorable, as are the cupcakes!  The frosting can be a little too sweet, and it's very sugary.  The cake is good, and the flavors seem endless!

Rosanna Warehouse Sale - June 3rd & 4th 2011

Once again, it's time for the bi-annual Rosanna Warehouse Sale in Seattle! This is one of my favorite sales of the year...  Gorgeous platters for $15, Plate and Mug sets for $20.  Almost everything is pristine, in the gorgeous boxes!  In the past I've purchased Pedestal Cake Platters for $15-$25, boxed single mugs for $1 - $5, and unboxed dishes, platters and mugs for .50 - $1!

People line up early, and it's kind of chaotic if you go early.  I prefer to go a little later, to avoid the hoards of women!

The warehouse has moved this year to a new location, details below...

If you are not in the Seattle area, you're in luck - Hautelook is also having a Rosanna Sale today!  The prices on Hautelook are a little higher than what you will find at the warehouse sale, but usually only a few dollars more, plus shipping.   Hautelook is a members only sample sale website.  If you are not already a member you can sign up at this invitation link.  There is no cost to sign up for Hautelook either, and you aren't obligated to purchase anything, so give it a try!

Easter 2011 - Lunch and Cookie Decorating!

I wasn't raised in a religious family. And as much as I am aware that this will offend people, celebrating Easter really isn't much more than a commercial holiday to me - and I love to have an excuse to buy brightly colored decorations and get my family together!

Review - Simply Desserts - Fremont - Seattle, WA

Simply Desserts

Although I do appreciate a Trophy cupcake from time to time, I really prefer a slice of cake. The perfect ratio of frosting and cake - not to mention it's so much easier to eat!

Simply Desserts in Fremont owns my sweet tooth. Whether it's the Chocolate White Chocolate or the Blueberry Lemon - every single bite has been heavenly.

Review - Trophy Cupcakes

Trophy Cupcakes

So in the past few years Cupcakeries have been popping up everywhere.  Every city I visit has some cupcake place claiming to be the best.  Crumbs and Magnolia in NYC, Trophy and Cupcake Royale in Seattle.  So far, Trophy Cupcakes is my favorite.
