valentine's day Tragedy at Cupcake Royale

Cupcake Royale is Seattle's first cupcake shop and recently celebrated their 7th anniversary of their 1st store in Madrona.  Shortly after their celebration, Cupcake Royale suffered a great loss.  The manager of their Capitol Hill store lost all their belongings in a horrific house fire. The fire department estimated the damages at being $25,000.

From the Cupcake Royale Facebook page:

"As many of you know, we received some tragic news this week and wanted to share this with our community at large in hopes that you might be able to spread the word and help in any way that’s possible for you. Jaime, the store manager of our Capitol Hill café, had a house fire this week and lost everything on Monday night. She and her 9 year old daughter are trying to rebuild and we've set up a fund for donations. We hope you'll consider making a donation. And stay tuned for fund raising events to come. Together, we hope that we can make this right for them this holiday season.

Thanks for all your love and support as part of our extended family!
