Last night when he came home from work, Shawn surprised me with a box of cupcakes from this new place in Belltown, a shiny (well, matte) new Nintendo DSi, and copies of Chrono Trigger and Dragon Warrior IV to play on it -- possibly my two favorite console games ever. After a bit of squee, I exclaimed, "It's like my birthday and Christmas all at once!" "Except I bought you something," he quipped.

Anyway: the cupcakes are pretty good. Their "tomato soup" signature flavor, which prompted much wtf when I first read their flavor list, is actually a really nice spice cake. Their chocolate toffee cupcake is excellent as well. Their chocolate/chocolate pales next to Trophy, and in general I think their cake and frostings are both not quite as good as Trophy's, but better than Cupcake Royale. Certainly worth a visit. Maybe when morgyne is in town we can manage to take her to Cupcake Royale, Trophy, and Yellow Leaf.
