do you ever get the feeling someone is talking about you? not in the paranoid-you-just-walked-into-the-room-and-everyone-gets-quiet-and-looks-at-their-nails kinda way. like the kind where people talk about how nice you are? we are THRILLED to have been talked about like this. so much so we dedicate an entire interwebs page to it.
see?

tip jar burgled!

POSTED ON Wednesday, November 14, 2007 AT 20:45 by saint cupcake

so on friday night, a creepy dude and his cronies were hanging out at our nw store asking for cigarettes and band aids and staring at our cute bakers and counter staff. after about twenty minutes, the creepy dude up and grabbed the tip jar and ran out the door with it. bloody smokers.

to make matters weirder, galen our manager, took a break later and walked to a local pizza joint where her boyfriend works. she was told he wasn’t there, as he was out chasing a creepy dude who had just stolen their tip jar and had run out the door. as legend has it, galen’s boyfriend, jared, chased the creepy dude and his cronies through the mean streets of portland, catching one of them in pioneer sqaure. jared (or chuck bronson as we’ll now call him) tackled the little dude to the ground and demanded his tips back. while uniformed police officers wandered the plaza, unaware of the vigilantism taking place under their noses, jared ( i mean chuck bronson) told the kid "i want my tips back, son. we’ll leave the fuzz out of it." so, like an idiot, the kid agreed to call his friend to meet the two of them with the tips. and he asked to use jared’s (chuck bronson’s) cell phone to call the creepy dude on his cell phone. turns out they met in front of the creepy dude’s apartment where they punched jared and gave him the empty jar back.

but it sure made it easy for the police to find you, marcus the tip robber. or should i say alleged tip robber? maybe you’ll think twice about taking tips now, mo fo. especially from people who work their cupcakes off to earn them.

it is never boring here at saint cupcake. even if it’s slow, it’s exciting.

it’s a boys!!!

 congratulations to haley hayes, saint cupcake’s general manager, and her husband chris on the birth of their twin boys! these little dudes were born on monday, november 5th at 7:15 and 7:19pm, weighing in at a wee 4 pounds 4 ounces and 5 pounds 1 ounce, respectively. these beautiful little boys (and future band mates of theo curl and ellery endicott’s super group "theo and the redheads") were not due until christmas, so they need to hang out in the hospital while they gain some weight eating fresh cupcakes and fish sticks.  everyone is doing well; mom and dad are as stunned as they are thrilled. TWINS! haha! good luck!

this is arlo jude.

and this is his baby brother, elliott amos.
