FAQ Fridays: Cupcake Royale

Mini cupcakes are the best!

Q: Why are you missing Cupcake Royale?

A: I miss Seattle’s great coffee shops in general--with their amazing coffee and hip décor--but Cupcake Royale stands out because they’ve also got yummy cupcakes!

 

Q: What’s your favorite Cupcake Royale location?

A: It’s kind of a tie between Madrona (which I love because I used to live in the neighborhood, although that was years before it was hip enough to have a cool cupcake store) and Ballard (another neighborhood I’ve spent a lot of time in).

 

Q: What’s your favorite cupcake flavor?

A: So boring, but vanilla with pink frosting. Yum.

 

Q: OMG, how cool is their copywriting?

A: Their copywriting is too cute. Here’s the sticker that they stick to boxes of cupcakes:

The Proper Care & Handling of a Cupcake Royale

Please don’t scare the cupcakes by tipping or shaking the box. For fresh and happy cupcakes, do not store in the refrigerator of leave them out in the sun. And for the love of home-baked goodness, do not wait to eat your delicious cupcakes – ENJOY THEM TODAY!

And the note on their glass display case in their West Seattle store:

Hey kids (and you uber-excited adults):

Thanks for not scaring the cupcakes by banging on the glass.

 

Q: What’s your perfect Cupcake Royale scenario?

A: A drizzly afternoon sitting on the couch they have in Madrona having cupcakes and lattes with my BFF.

 

Happy Friday, everyone! :)
