CakeSpy Takes the Cutecake
By jpower on Saturday, January 30th, 2010I think cupcakes are pretty great. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be writing for All Things Cupcake, right? But it takes something special for me to bestow an “OMFGBBQ CUTECAKES!” award. CakeSpy has it…CakeSpy, in fact, takes the cutecake.
I first discovered CakeSpy a few years ago at I Heart Rummage, a local artist swapmeet that goes on every other month at Chop Suey (Capitol Hill, Seattle). I stood at the booth for at least five minutes paralyzed and making cute noises over freakin’ adorable drawings of wee little cupcakes living their little cupcake lives: checking the interwebs at a coffeeshop, falling in love, and running from zombies. It made my week.
Turns out that CakeSpy (aka artist and writer Jessie Oleson) not only does prints of the wee lives of cupcakes, she also have a blog and plenty more merch. I mean really – what says awesome like a hip cupcakes and unicorns tee in the closet, a cupcakes and unicorn checkbook in your purse and teeny-beeny cupcake and unicorn magnets on the fridge?
