My apologies for being late to post about this, but I also imagine all of you read Cakespy regularly (if not, you should!). Jessie Oleson and her Cuppie cupcake artwork, not to mention her cupcake dedication and mad baking skills, add so much to the cupcake world. And now you can visit her and her husband Danny's new Cakespy shop in Seattle!
The shop is located at 415 E Pine Street, Seattle, WA 98122, but don't fear if you're not in Seattle; Jessie Oleson also sells her Cuppie artwork online at Cakespyshop.com! You can buy Cuppie magnets, handbags, mugs, sticky notes, t-shirts, greeting cards and so much more.
From The Stranger:
After a morning of baking, she and her two pugs, Olive and Porkchop, take a walk to her brand-new Cakespy retail shop in the old Bluebottle Art Gallery space on Capitol Hill. She and her husband, Danny Oleson, bought the store earlier this year, and she's spent the last few months turning it into cupcake heaven.
"Things keep getting pinker every day," she says. "I have painted the back wall pink and added a mural of cake and pie having a death match complete with brass knuckles and various weapons of shankery." On top of bringing in a lot of her own Cakespy artwork—she does adorable watercolor paintings of cupcakes doing stuff like drinking at Linda's—the Cakespy shop will carry other cute things including Bob Ross and Ira Glass finger puppets. And if you'd like, she'll also paint you a custom cupcake portrait while you shop. "A dude came in yesterday and asked, 'Can you do a portrait of two cupcakes looking for change on the sidewalk with NYC in the background?' I get to be the person who says, 'Yes. Yes, I can.'"
