saint cupcake employee of the year

and the coveted award goes to…...

anyone who worked here yesterday.

holy guacamole, it was crazy nuts in here yesterday, december 13th. mostly the good kind of nuts, though. there were 30 deliveries all over town; cupcakes were flying off the shelf like super fast cupcake rocketships (so fast that the elfish bakers were struggling to keep up!); we had record-breaking pre-order sales (jessica and jennifer m. were on the phone all day AND had to turn away orders for this weekend and into next week) and the meanest snake-like woman came in and spewed her mean, venomous meanvenom all over the place (you know who you are…you’re the one that told nicole that we “are all effing crazy.” you’re lucky that i am not posting your name on our blogidy right now. you know what? i just typed your name and deleted it. we are all wondering how you could be mean in a cupcakery.  we can’t believe you would demand an apology, though jami thinks that you may have done that so you can still come back and get cupcakes even having been “wronged” by us, so you could tell your friends we gave you lousy service, “but at least they apologized. they totally knew they were wrong.” but we’re on to you. and i officially take back any apology you may have received.)

now go slither back into your snakey asp hole.

anyway, saint cupcake would like to commend all of it’s employees for a job well done on a day gone weird. thanks, cupcakers!

meet jackson cafazzo.

as you may recall from a previous post, jackson was “delayed” in getting back to us regarding his bounty of prizes. apparently, he had not checked his e-mail for a few days as he was on break from school. (he’s a student! isn’t that cute?) he’s also been working his cupcakes off as a cabbie here in the rose city.

jackson is so down to earth and he is not going to let his winnings go to his head. although he has won this drawing, he still plans to keep his job AND to finish up in school.

we love you, jackson. we’ll see you tomorrow. and the next day. and the day after that.

Hey,
Why do you guys put so little love into the appearance of the vegan cupcakes?  They look positively craptacular next to the beautifully decorated non-vegan ones.  Granted, I’m gonna eat the damn things anyway, because, well, I eat a vegan diet and I really like your c-cakes, I guess it would just be nice if they looked more whimsical and fun like the others, and not like some little kid got in the cupcake case, half licked off all the frosting on the vegan ones and didn’t touch the others.

Hey, though, hot damn those cuppy cakes are good.  Keep up the good work!

Dear Lucas-

You spelled ugly wrong.

And natural is never really pretty, is it? Consider us
all lucky that we can’t see the twigs and other natural
crap that goes into those hideously delicious cupcakes.

Their lack of aesthetic appeal is also a way to keep
barbaric omnivores from getting their meat and
dairy tainted hands all over them. While we say
everyone will enjoy the vegan cupcakes (I do. And I eat
meat, dairy, and really anything that is put in front
of me), we want to save them exclusively for vegans.
See? It’s all part of our plan.

Well, ok, I can’t say we put that kind of manipulation
into it. We spent more time trying to perfect the
recipe than how to dress them up.  I never thought of
them as ugly. Should we make them froofier? I will
seriously look into it if you think that you people
will like them more…unless you like the security of
eating a cupcake that no one else will. Like Charlie
Brown and his Christmas tree.

Thanks for your funny e-mail. We try and make people
happy, and you’re right, we should work harder to keep
you vegans happy, too. Some of our best friends are
vegan. But they never really look happy, come to think
of it.

love and frosting,

saint cupcake

and the winner is…

not calling us back!

can you believe it? the winner of the 2007 enter-to-win-a-cupcake-everyday-for-a-year drawing has not checked his e-mail! he received official cupcake notification that should, in theory, change his whole entire life evermore.

if anyone knows the whereabouts of one jackson cafazzo, do have him check his e-mail and call us by the close of business today (friday, december 7th). in the event that mr. cafazzo does not respond by 5pm today, another winner will be drawn and jackson cafazzo will be S.O.C. (unless he has a REALLY great reason for not calling us. if that is the case, saint cupcake would like to publish his (what better be a) hair-raising tale on the blog next week).

stay tuned for more info!

we are writing to inform all the lovers of nog that from now until 12/28 that wednesdays and fridays are egg nog cupcake day. in addition to our regular menu items, the bakers (who mysteriously turn elfish looking this time of year; you should really stop by and look at them) are busy baking our famous yummy, rummy, gooey glazed nog cakes. they’re spicey, squishy, sweet and holidaylicious.

they’re the noggiest!
