olympic hair

saint cupcake would like to give a shout out the all those scrunchies participating in the 2008 summer olympics. oh, and those amazing athletes attached to them, too. just as cupcakes can stand the test of time, so have the wonderful hairstyles of gymnasts from around the world. jami thinks it’s due to the fact that the hair has to appeal to eastern european judges, but i think it’s that hair tie technology has not improved since the invention of the scrunchy. getting hair in your mouth and eyes while on the uneven parallels could prove disastrous.

so, in honor of team usa and all it’s scrunchies, if you are an olympic athlete (any event!) and can prove it OR you come in with fantastic olympic gymnast hair (you know, tight pony/bun, many clippies, and maybe even sparkles!) we’ll give you a free full size cupcake. if you are an actual olympic athlete, we’ll give you one week from closing ceremonies to get to portland to get your cupcake. offer good thru 8/31.

ps michael phelps and aaron piersol are welcome anytime.

“don’t you people want ice cream!?” i shouted at the huge line of customers packed in the bakery from in front of the oven doors. “it’s like 175 degrees today!” they just smiled and continued buying and eating cupcakes. “ice cream!” but they weren’t hearing this as a plea. and they didn’t even seem to think it was a suggestion. “cupcakes it is, then,” i says. i suppose it is only too hot for soup today. good thing we are not called saint soup.

if you are in the neighborhood and have an extra fudgecicle, do stop by. we’d love to help take it off your hands.
