Cake Byte: Sweet News from Cakespy
Friday, May 30, 2008 
As proven by the below news, June's gonna be, like, the sweetest month ever! Here's some of the hottest news in Cakespy land.
New tees! Our head spy Jessie just collaborated with very cool company, Mailbox Tees--it's a tee shirt subscription service, which we think is far cooler than say, a fruit basket of the month club-- to make a series of two tee shirts for them. One is pictured above! We also have a limited supply of our own which will be for sale soon on Etsy!
Fun stuff! Did you ever see the awesome video Bakerella made, featuring our own mascot L'il Cuppie? Just in case you didn't, here's a link--go watch it now, because it's the best thing ever. Well, we did a counter-attack of cuteness and made her this Barbarella-inspired piece of art. Thanks again Bakerella!
Cadbury Cream Dream: Our friends at Brambleberry were so moved by the recent Cadbury Creme Egg interview that they made us a very special gift: Cadbury Creme soap and lotion! It's a mix of products available on their website: Dark Rich Chocolate, Caramel Lip Butter Flavor and Vanilla Select (links included in case you want to make your own!). Check out their post on it here, it's pretty cool!
So Cool! When recently attending an event at cool Seattle store Velocity, our Head Spy Jessie was able to meet the wonderful Megan of Not Martha. If you haven't visited her site, you've been missing out--it's chock full of wonderful ideas that will make your life a whole lot cooler.
You know you've made it big when...people make stuff inspired by you! Carrie from Fields of Cake recently made these cuppie-inspired cupcakes which look super-delicious (yup--we'd eat them); also, a Cakespy reader made the ultimate leap and got a cuppie tattoo!Seeking Cuteness in Seattle? If so, come on by this Sunday, June 1 to buy Cakespy art, buttons and cards at I Heart Rummage, an awesome urban craft fair at Chop Suey. in Capitol Hill. Entry is free, and it's on between 12 and 4 p.m. You'll find something cool, guaranteed!
But even if you can't make it on Sunday, don't despair--Cakespy art is also now available at the incredibly cool Bluebottle Art Gallery on Pine Street in Capitol Hill!
For those a little further south of Seattle, a new shipment of artwork just went out to Hello, Cupcake in Tacoma. So, not only can you enjoy extremely delicious cupcakes, but you can also choose from a great new assortment of artwork, including originals from the Cakespy fine art series and some mini originals!
Or perhaps you're in NYC? Well, lucky you! Head Spy Jessie will be heading over to NYC for the Renegade Craft Fair on June 14 and 15 in the über-hip McCarren Park Pool in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where she'll be selling Cakespy art, aforementioned tee shirts, and even a new series of dioramas (pictured left)! Find out more at renegadecraft.com.
Stay Sweet!

Sometimes I hate reading this blog, because it reminds me of the awesome things I miss in Seattle, like pink cookies and I Heart Rummage. =)
Ooh... I'll definitely drop by the craft fair to see you! But do you think you can fit in time to let me take you out to dinner? :-)
Congrats Jessie! Those shirts look adorable and the illustrations clearly steal the show. I think you could take on Bryant Park's fashion scene pretty soon :) Maybe this way the models would actually eat the damn cakes, right?! So excited for you missy...
Ahhh, I wish I could be there!!!
So many great happenings! Awesome!
Oh how I wish I could have gone to Seattle for the I heart Rummage! I LOVE the T's I WANT ONE I WANT ONE I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (enough exclamation points? I don't think so) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You just rock! Do you ever look at yourself in the mirror and scream with delight? YOu should!

Holy freakin' batman! *sits on edge of seat waiting for them to appear on Etsy*
Yay for you guys on everything!!
I love the shirt. That is really cool. Hope they send you some.
Will you have a booth at the Chicago Renegade Craft Fair too?!?!
Thanks everyone! OMG, I can't believe I just about sold out of my stock of the tee shirts the very day I posted them! There are a few left, but the demand made me realize I should produce more. So, more will come in a bigger variety of sizes, soon!
And thanks to everyone who came to I Heart Rummage, I have met so many cool people through it! Can't wait to see some of you in NYC.
But alas, Anonymous, I will not be at the Chicago show this time--I had to choose one or the other, and well, I can stay in NYC for free with my family and friends, so that clinched it for me! If it goes well I might do another one of them though--so stay tuned!!
You know, NY is really not that far from Maine.....just a thought :)
Congrats on all these wonderful happenings, it's so exciting to hear! I wish I could go to the craft fair in NY, it sounds like just my thing... But of course, I'm working both dates. I hope someone will take pictures at least!
Love the Tees and the diorama. Ms. Jessie, have fun in NYC!
Such great news! I'll have to get a tee for sure. Checking etsy now since I am behind, but if not up, please do keep me updated as to when they are available!!!!
