Stop in at Dozen Bake Shop in Lawrenceville with your voting receipt and you'll get a free mini cupcake. While supplies last.
Jennifer Shea of Seattle's Trophy Cupcakes tells us that they've had over 1,000 pre-orders for their Obama cupcakes, which are available for walk-in purchase today (vanilla/vanilla and chocolate/vanilla). She said they had had McCain cupcakes available for special order, but since they only received a few calls and no orders, they are no longer available.
Also in Seattle, Cupcake Royale is, like in 2004, giving away free cupcakes to voters - and see the Seattle Post-Intelligencer for more free stuff you get for voting in Seattle!):
All three Seattle locations of the popular cupcake shop will be giving out one free babycake to each customer who voted and a free "I'm pro-cupcake and I voted" sticker to anyone who buys 12 cupcakes Tuesday as part of their "Vote, Babycake, Vote" promotion. "We're also going to have homemade little toppers with Obama's head," a Madrona employee told me on the phone. "There's a couple McCain heads, too, to be fair." Red and blue sprinkles will also abound.
Locations: 2052 NW Market St; 1101 34th Ave; 4556 California Ave SW.
