It’s Halloween season and that means it’s time for bad jokes!

Q. Where does Count Dracula usually eat his lunch? A. At the casketeria.

What is he going to have for dessert? Our fancy Halloween cupcakes!

We’re dying for you to try these spooktacular delights of devilishly good treats.

Q. Why is a ghost such a messy eater? A. Because he is always a goblin.

We’ve got 4 terrifying gum paste decorations to choose from: vampire bat, black cat, ghost, and (creepiest of all) the owl!
These creepy creatures are available to add to any of our full size cupcakes for $1.00 each.

Q. What did Dracula have for dessert? A. Whine & Ice scream

So, seriously, try some of these. They’re sinfully delicious!

Cookies & Bonbonbunbuns now at Saint Cupcake Deluxe!

POSTED ON Wednesday, October 19, 2011 AT 09:42 by saint cupcake

It’s true! Our Belmont store is now selling our cookies and bonbonbunbuns! They will go fast so get down there early to get yours! Our featured cookies are chocolate galore, butterscotch galore, and our signature alder-smoked chocolate chip cookies.

Butterscotch galore and chocolate galore cookies: These cookies are called ‘galore’ because they contain a multitude of delicious ingredients! Swiss chocolate or Guittard butterscotch chips, rice cereal, oatmeal, coconut, pecans! These are thick and hearty cookies - perfect for a dessert table or picnic and so so good!

Our alder-smoked cookies - smoked flour gives the cookie a smokey flavor that’s delicious but not overpowering. Some describe the flavor as bacony, but really it’s just smokey. We use two types of chocolate in this thinner, crisper cookie.

Our bonbonbunbuns are sweet little pillows of buttery brioche dough hand-tossed in a secret mixture of sugar and spice deliciousness. Unlike anything you’ve ever had before, we promise. While small, the bonbonbunbun is made with the finest ingredients and a whole lot of love. The bonbonbunbun was named by Jami’s 4-year old, Theo. At home, these little buns can be reheated in a low oven.

Come enjoy these delicious treats, now available for the first time at our southeast Portland location - Saint Cupcake Deluxe, at the corner of SE 33rd & Belmont.

We want to punch you(r card) - meet our new punch cards!

You now have 500 more reasons to visit Saint Cupcake (as if the cupcakes, scones, pastries and coffee weren’t enough).

Here’s how our new punch card works: every time you spend $5 or more at either Saint Cupcake location, you get a stamp on your card. Once your card gets 10 stamps on it, your punch card turns into a $5 gift card! Simple, right? You can get one stamp per visit.

Q: “So if I spend $6.00 on your outrageous hot chocolate & 2 bonbonbunbuns special, how many stamps will I get on my card?”
A: One stamp. Just one stamp per visit.

Q: “Ok, but what if I spend $78 buying 2 dozen fabulous full size cupcakes, how many stamps will I get?”
A: One stamp. Just one stamp per visit, seriously.

Q: “What if I visit you for an amazing latte & scone before work and it costs $6.50, but then I come back at lunch for a ham & cheese brioche with a soda for $6.25 - how many stamps would I get?”
A: Two stamps - one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Just one stamp per visit.

Q: “But that’s such an amazing value, I could fill up my card in one week and then get $5 for free! Are you guys crazy?”
A: We’re not crazy; we just wanted a new way to say “I think you’re neat” to our loyal customers, many of whom already come in every day, to thank them for their loyalty.

Q: “Just one more question - I have an inconsolable longing in my soul for something inexpressible and intangible. Will your treats fill that void?”
A: Yes. Yes, they will.

Our very own Statler & Waldorf

POSTED ON Friday, October 14, 2011 AT 10:02 by saint cupcake

There’s a certain level of joviality (witticisms, snarcastic jokes, oh snaps & comebacks) around the bakery most mornings, especially from Jami & Karla. The other day, someone remarked that Jami & Karla’s banter reminded them of Statler & Waldorf, the “two ornery, disagreeable old men who first appeared in the television series The Muppet Show heckling the rest of the cast from their balcony seats”

Wikipedia’s description is even more apt when you read on… “they found themselves vastly entertaining and inevitably burst into mutual laughter at their own witticisms” - holy smokes, it’s like Jim Henson somehow spent a week hiding in the bakery, observing Jami & Karla making bonbonbunbuns, cookies, and scones, then went back in time and made them into old men on the Muppet Show!

Also, we love any chance to talk about The Muppets and we can’t wait for the new movie next month!

What’s better than free parking?

So – if you use a parking garage when you visit us, we can do something better than validate your parking – give you free money (in the form of a gift card).
So visit us today and start getting paid to visit Saint Cupcake. All of your wildest dreams are now coming true!
