I promise I’m not being paid to shill for Trophy Cupcakes, but I thought you might like to see some of the essential supplies I bought for tonight’s election party.
They told me they’d had over 1,000 pre-orders for the Obama cupcakes and were baking them at the rate of 50 every half hour and still selling out. They weren’t making any John McCain photo ones (this is Seattle after all), but did have some with sugar elephants on them which did not seem to be selling…
You win. Those are awesome. We got some blue-sprinkle covered doughnuts from Krispy Kreme (they had red ones for McCain and white ones for independants), but those are amazing.
We had a bit of a hiccup yesterday when the Minx came home from school insisting that she supported John McCain “because he likes red”.
But after telling her that only Obama supporters could eat the Obama cupcakes, she soon fell into line and began chanting O-ba-ma with the rest of us…
And so we, the rest of the world, weren’t let down. You did well, America.
I don’t know why we, in LA, can’t have a great cupcake shop like that. I couldn’t find any cupcakes, cookies or even cakes in support of Obama. They are so great. Note to self: new business! (well in 4 years).
