One Big Gay Cupcake…Deserves Another

February 8, 2010• byMichael Strangeways

After my harsh (but well deserved) review of Speech and Debate I feel the need to express positivity and hopefulness so here’s a rave review of the newest cupcake shop to hit Seattle, Wink Cupcakes located at 1817 Queen Anne Ave North on top of the gayest NAMED hill in the city, Queen Anne. I haven’t actually been to the shop yet, (I try to avoid the banalities of Queen Anne; also, I don’t have a car and it’s a long way to the top of that bloody hill if you don’t have any reason to go there…) but a well-meaning yet ultimately evil new employee in my office has a part-time job at Wink and he’s been bringing in day old leftovers to share with us (and ultimately inflict us with diabetes and heart disease) and I have to say that Trophy Cupcake has some stiff competition in the local cupcakes sweepstakes and Cupcake Royale might as well quit while the quitting is good. Wink’s cupcakes are insanely moist and delicious WITHOUT the frosting (but why would you eat a cupcake without delicious buttercreme frosting?) and you can taste the buttery goodness in every bite. Check out their website and more importantly the product itself.

And, why is this the gayest cupcake in town? Uh, cause they’re GORGEOUS AND VAIN AND THEY CONSTANTLY SCREAM OUT, “EAT ME!”

Of course, the irony is, most disco and gym bunnies wouldn’t dare to put that much delicious fatty, and sugary, and carby goodness in their mouth lest they lose their rock hard boyish figures but that’s fine…just leaves more for the rest of us…once a month or so.

Check them out.

    Writer's Note: This is not a plug for a friend. I don't even know the NAME of the new co-worker who brings in these cupcakes…if I plug anything that's attributable to a friend of mine, I'll clearly say so in the post/review.

    Note 2: Eat cupcakes responsibly…excessive eating of cupcakes can lead to diabetes, heart disease, morbid obesity and banishment from gay society.

    That is all.

    Do you even know what your talking about? I think not. Cupcake Royale is tops in my book.

    1)no…unless it's movies.
    2)it's my opinion…it's no more valid or invalid than anyone else's opinion.
    3)Cupcakes are love.
