baby boy cupcake!

we are beside ourselves with the joy of announcing the birth of the THEO JAMES SPIESMAN CURL, the very first ever child of saint cupcake owners, jami and matthew curl.

theo dragged his feet into the world at 2:00am on thursday, march 29th weighing in at 8 pounds, 7 ounces and is 20.5 inches tall. this beautiful bundle is seriously the cutest newborn ever to be born in the history of babies. he is the mirror image of his glowing mama and shares his father’s hairline.

congratulations, matt and jami! your baby is a real nice guy and you’re gonna make for superfun parents.

(also born and this day in history: pearl baily, bud cort, lucy lawless and perry ferril).

inspiration from a cinnamon roll

POSTED ON Wednesday, March 07, 2007 AT 18:31 by saint cupcake

here’s a blog entry for you:

so i went into the bakery, looking for an idea to blog about… i asked kyrsten at the counter if she had anything clever to say but all she did was grumble something about it not being appropriate to publish on the internets. carly in the bakery thought i could post something about the gossip at saint cupcake, but we don’t really have any. at least no one tells me any. (but carly DID just get engaged! to be married! that’s exciting! congrats, carly-n-justin!) so i looked to the cupcakes in the case for inspiration. 

"what’s new, cupcakes?" i asked.

no answer.

"hmph," i say. that’s when the cinnamon rolls called to me.

"what are we, chopped liver?"

they asked in unison.

"no, it’s just that..i thought that…but it’s.." i didn’t know WHAT to say. how do you tell a cinnamon roll that the name of the shop makes no mention of their species of baked good? it became clear to me that these crispy spirals feel neglected and forgotten. so for the sake of the blog, i took one. you know, for work

"how long have you guys been sitting out here?" i asked the rolls.

defensively, and trying to elicit sympathy, one pastry said, "like ALL morning."

it was only 9:18am. we’d opened at 9 and had only had a handful of customers - apparently no one had yet eyed the cinnamon rolls.

"do you feel like you get the shaft because of cupcakes?" the cinnamon roll nodded. i took the chosen one back to my desk, had a seat and took a piece from the bottom. it was the part of the cinnamon roll where the buttery goodness melted and cooled and settled into cinnamonny sugar clumps. when i bit down, it made a soft sound like footsteps on frozen snow. it tasted like heaven. yeah, if heaven tastes warm, doughy and has just the right contrast of sweet and biscuity.

having grown up a redheaded stepchild myself, i knew just how these cinnamon rolls must have felt sitting there atop a case of cupcakes.

so my friends, today’s message is about remembering the little guy. we have all been guilty of forgetting about what is important sometimes. and believe me, cinnamon rolls are very important.

come by and have one today. 

saint cupcake: the movie

POSTED ON Friday, February 23, 2007 AT 23:39 by saint cupcake

ok, so it might not be a movie, but check out this really very cute ad designed by the cool folks at north advertising here in portland. we were selected to be one of the businesses featured as a campaign to lure portlanders to the downtown area while the city is digging up sewers and building big buildings. ok, now go look at it! here!
thanks, judah!
