Cake Byte: Sweet News from Cakespy
Thursday, July 17, 2008 
All the sweet news fit to print!
First off, if you haven't visited Suspect and Fugitive, you must do so this moment. With a tagline like "Artstuffs with a sell by date," we shouldn't need to say any more--with amazing art pieces which combine mostly food products with pop-culture icons, we are constantly awed and inspired. And we think it's official that you've "made it" when you're featured on the site--as Cakespy was this week!
Also in the press, we were cited as the Milkwaukee Cupcake Queen's "absolute favorite blog, ever". Wow! High praise from a super sweet lady--and one of the cupcake geniuses (genii?) behind Iron Cupcake. Can't wait to eat cupcakes with you, babe!
Another super-sweet mention came from Shauna James Ahern, who you may know better by her alter-ego, Gluten-Free Girl. Shauna's site is a delicious destination, proving that a restricted diet doesn't have to be a detriment to living and eating well! Cakespy artwork was amongst the first few features on her new Gluten-Free Girl Recommends outpost. Thank you and sugar kisses to Shauna!
In other news, if you missed out on the hipster baked goods tee shirt the first time around, well, lucky you--we did a reprint! You can buy them at jessieoleson.etsy.com! Men's and women's sizes are available--if you don't see your size on the site, just email jessieoleson@gmail.com for more info or to request a size.
Finally, a big huge thank you to everyone who came out to the Cakespy art show at Venue this past weekend in Ballard. It was a full house thanks to all of you--and whether you came for the art or just the free booze and cute bartender, it was a great time for all. Thank you again!
Til next time...xoxo from Cakespy.

Yes, genii I do believe is the plural of genius, if my university Latin hasn't completely escaped from my brain.
Congratulations on EVERTHING! This continues to be one of my favourite foodblogs. And I'm taking a trans-continental train trip next spring, so I'll need some bakery recommendations for my itinerary!
Sweet news, indeed!! Hooray!! :0)

Congrats on all the well deserved recognition and press!
You know you deserve all the kudos you get for making us all so happy.... sugar addicted... but happy.
Most excellent news from one of my favorites too!
That shirt IS way awesome. I very well might mosey over and order one!
I needed a smile today and I am thrilled to be back here!!!
How could you NOT be a favorite?! Cakespy is the bomb!
I'm about to move into my new place in just a few weeks, and I'm getting ready to 'cakespy' my kitchen with some of your cute prints! :D Definitely a fan! I just might have to get that shirt, too! :)
Hey Jessie,
I've tagged you for a meme. Check out my blog for details: www.candyyumyum.net
I love the hipster baked goods. So cool.
Those T-shirts are way cool! :-)
Congrats on being featured! Your artwork is so adorable- it never fails to make me laugh!
Thank you everyone for all of your kind comments!! It is so sweet to read all of your kudos. It means a lot coming from all of these talented writers, bakers, cookers and cake eaters! xoxoxoxo (times a million).
Ooh I love that tshirt! Congrats on the feature :)
Hi there,
Sorry if this is old news to you, but I want to make sure you know about this wonderful new pastry/dessert cart for your next Portland visit. The only cupcake that's ever excited me (finally, someone who understands frosting!) Also.. amazing cookies (a knee-weakening chocoloate ganache sandwich cookie)and a bunch of other stuff. You can read about it here:

(I have no personal connection to this cart - other than the fact that I have a huge crush on it!)
Just a cake FYI for you!
Joanna,
I hadn't heard of it!! I was just in Portland on Saturday but there was no time for bakeries (I know, I know) because Mr. Cakespy was playing shows. Thank you for the lead! I just put up a rant on the P-I about how we need more sweet streetfood in Seattle!
