Sugar, Ah, Honey, Honey
Some days are stressful. But quality distractions can help. Like episodes of Futurama via Netflix Instant. And this interview with a baby sloth wrangler. And the critters on Cute Overload. And hey, dudes with beards eating cupcakes! Recently my hirsute co-workers helped me create my own take on this. (Full set of photos on flickr here.)
Let Them Eat Cake
Yesterday marked the grand opening of Cake Eater Bakery, by two of my friends, in the Seward neighborhood of Minneapolis. And it was crazy crowded! Area residents and other local fans are definitely embracing this long-anticipated new venture. And you can embrace them too. Check out their site, follow them on twitter, become a fan on Facebook and most definitely visit them, in person, at 2929 East 25th Street.
Blueberry Almond Vegan Goodness
On this Earth Day I’d like to give another shout out to the lovely Sheela Namakkal, the Cupcake Lady, and her vegan-friendly offerings. Her goods are available around the Twin Cities but last weekend she launched a new, all-vegan Cupcake Saturday right in my backyard. Well, technically at Eco-Tique on St. Paul’s Grand Avenue, but close enough.
My Sweet Tooth
I have another busy weekend ahead of me but there will be time for cupcakes. Because there must be! Tonight the lovely Daley will be providing some at Eclipse Records, for the TEVS 4 Release Show with The Blind Shake, The Chambermaids and Seawhores. And I am mightily tempted by the prospect of Sheela’s blackberry lime numbers tomorrow, at Mitrebox in the Warehouse District of Minneapolis.
