Jessie Oleson of Cakespy wants to draw you a cupcake on her nationwide bakery book tour!

The countdown has begun for beloved Cakespy blogger, artist, baker and author Jessie Oleson's first book: Cakespy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life. She will kick off a nationwide book tour on October 13th at her retail store, Cakespy, in at 415 E. Pine Street in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, and visit cupcake bakeries around the country, including Portland, the Bay Area, Boston, NYC, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, Chicago and more. Her New York City visit coincides with my birthday, November 10th, which is also National Vanilla Cupcake Day. She'll be at Brooklyn bakery Baked on the 9th (and Butter Lane on November 9th).





From her blog post (where you can find her tour dates):

Basically, we're going to hang out, eat baked goods, and then you will buy like 30 copies of my book (Official Tour de Sweet Promise: I promise to sign and draw a unicorn, cupcake, and/or robot in each and every copy of my book you buy).

Woo-hoo! Go see her on tour, you won't be disappointed.

In a word: yum! Photo via Flickr; if you want to know h ow to make your own "yum" cupcake, which is, to call it by its proper name, a chocolate chip cookie dough filled funfetti cupcake (!!), see this Cakespy post for the recipe and bake your own.

Happy Birthday CakeSpy!

Our friend Jessie Oleson aka CakeSpy is celebrating four years of blogging about the sweeter things in life!  Her blog began four years ago today, August 1, 2007 when she wrote about a cupcake in a jar.  Since then she has shared her love of cupcakes, cake pops and every other dessert under the sun!  Jessie has put together a look back on her four years... it's quite amazing really!

We have also come to know and love her art creation of "Cuppie"... the cutest little pink cupcake you've ever seen.  Cuppie has been featured on post cards, posters, t-shirts, coffee mugs and even bathroom murals.

Jessie also wrote her first book, CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar Filled Life, which can be pre-ordered now!

Cupcakes Take the Cake and JavaCupcake.com would like to wish Jessie and CakeSpy and VERY HAPPY 4th BLOGGY BIRTHDAY!  

We look forward to years and years more of your fantastic blogging, Jessie!  We love you!  

This is my daughter Emily and Jessie, the first time we met at Cupcake Camp Seattle in 2010!
