Another Reason to Eat a Cupcake
August 5, 2009 in Ballard, Ballard Restaurants by yuma2seattle
It is no secret to Ballard residents that Cupcake Royale’s cupcakes are utterly ridicu-licious (ridiculous + delicious?). However, there are additional reasons you should support this local business in addition to its tasty treats. Jody Hall contributes 25 cents of every cake to employee healthcare, and Hall is a crusader for health care for all Americans.
A member of the Washington Can!, she has been an advocate for affordable health care for 2 years. She has gone to the White House and championed her cause to politicians and the media alike (give health care costs measured in cupcakes on NPRs Morning Edition a listen). All the while, she has been able to expand her business (opening up a 4th location on Capitol Hill July 22nd) and make delicious food at an affordable price. All this blogging is making me hungry…for cupcakes.
cakes taste like box and the icing is just OK. in my opinion, 2.50 per ain’t worth it, another cutesi wootsi biz to sell to suckers.
