As we recently noted in a
previous post, Cupcake Royale is now the official cupcake of the SeattleMariners baseball club. We aren’t sure
how many other MLB teams have named an official cupcake, but based on the
success Cupcake Royale is having, it seems like a trend that will only get
bigger.
Our Seattle stringer ELD Images
and his wife Muffin D’Amour recently had a chance to sample some flavors that aren’t
currently on the Safeco Field roster, while at a Mariners game, thanks to Laura
Glass of Cupcake Royale, who arranged for delivery of two dozen cupcakes to the
suite. Thanks, Laura! The non-roster invitees – in keeping with the
baseball theme – included: Classic (a no-nonsense vanilla cake with heaps of
chocolate frosting – surprisingly not on the roster); Dance party (white cake
with pink frosting and confetti decoration – might not fit in with chewing tobacco
and sunflower seeds); and Kate (pink vanilla frosting on chocolate cake).
It seems like a natural fit for Cupcake
Royale to design a baseball cupcake, perhaps vanilla buttercream frosting with
red stitching, or a cupcake with the Mariners’ compass rose logo (admittedly,
that would be labor-intensive, but worth it, in our opinion), but nothing has
been forthcoming yet. We can only hope. Could they also be developing a beer
cupcake? Hmmm…
Red velvet.
Salted caramel.
Red velvet.
Salted caramel.
Cupcake Royale’s current Safeco
Field roster stands at four: Red velvet, plain Jane, triple threat and salted caramel. Red velvet recently overtook plain Jane as the top ballpark seller, according to Laura. Laura also informed us that triple threat – a
dark chocolate cake with dark chocolate frosting – comes spiked with a shot of
Stumptown espresso, which could come in handy on those too-frequent days when
the Mariner bats are comatose. Salted caramel was commissioned for the Obama inauguration (!). All the cupcakes were moist and came piled
with enough hand-swirled frosting to satisfy even the most wired sugar-eater.
Triple threat.
Muffin D'Amour, wife to ELD Images, and chief tasting officer. Excellent shot of her at the game! And speaking of excellent game shots, you can see more of ELD's baseballs shots here and cupcake shots here.
Oh, and here's a bonus shot, taken yesterday, the Independence Day triple threat cupcake. Happy 4th of July!!
