Cupcake Royale

Cupcake Royale was founded in 2003 as Seattle’s first cupcake bakery and café. In fact, Cupcake Royale is the nation’s first cupcake bakery to open outside of NYC! So you can imagine that many of their friends and neighbors didn’t know quite what to expect. Turns out, their hunch was right, and their delicious, made-from-scratch-daily cupcakes were an instant hit. Most folks who came in had never had a scratch baked cake (Betty Crocker doesn’t count!) or a buttercream frosting made using only real and premium ingredients (like sweet local butter and dark Belgium chocolate). The best part of Cupcake Royale is that their cupcakes are paired with delicious artisan espresso under the house brand of Verite Coffee. They’re Seattleites – milk alone just won’t cut it here! From day one, they were dedicated to the notion that a good business gives back to the community that supports them – it’s the virtuous circle of life. They also believe in creating a sustainable and viable local economy. They partner with Washington farmers and producers to bring you the best their neighbors have to offer, because they believe that buying local is vital to building a strong community (and it tastes a lot better). Their flour comes from a handful of wheat farmers in Eastern Washington who mill it especially for their needs. Their dairy is local and growth hormone free. Their eggs are cage-free organic. Even their sweet pink boxes are printed locally with soy-based inks and are compostable. They are committed to giving back to their community and annually donate over 40,000 cupcakes to help raise funds for local non-profits. They care deeply about baking delicious cupcakes, crafting amazing espresso, and creating sustainable communities and joyous experiences.
