Seattle: CakeSpy

Do you see what I seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?

Any fan of Cakespy will recognize that giant cupcake, aka Cuppy!! 

After lunch in downtown Seattle, I dragged my parents to the Cakespy shop because I KNEW I had to go there to check out all the cute stuff.  Luckily for me, I happened to be there when Jessie herself stopped by!!

Jessie was super friendly and sweet - we took photos, chatted about NJ, and she even gifted me a DC cupcake card :o)  I was also able to pick up some cute prints and cards that I'd been checking out online, like this one and this one.  It was absolutely a highlight of my Seattle visit - thank you Jessie for making my trip so much sweeter!

Seattle or Bust!

Hello everyone!

I normally wouldn't be taking a break from blogging, but I am heading out to Seattle to visit my family for the rest of this week, so I figured my blog could take a little vacation as well :o)

A few things I'm especially looking forward to:

- Visiting the Cakespy store;
- Belltown restaurant tour with my mom;
- Finding lots of cupcake shops!


I'm excited for lots of food and fun to blog about when I get back!
