May Birthday Giveaway: CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life

[1]

What?s going on here? My site started ten years ago this month and to celebrate I?m giving away something each weekday. Because I like you.

Todays giveaway is coming to you from the future. Well, sort of. Jessie Oleson, whom you might know as CakeSpy [2], has a book coming out later this year (late September is the most informed date I have heard, things change but this might not!) it's called CakeSpy Presents Sweet Treats for a Sugar-Filled Life [3] and she is happy to send a copy to one lucky winner. Just, you know, in September when the book actually exists. CakeSpy, as if you don't already know, is lover of all things sweet, purveyor of the history behind our favorite desserts, a most excellent illustrator with a certain favorite character (Cuppie, pictured here [4]), has a column [5] at Serious Eats, a real brick and mortar shop [6] here in Seattle, and a rabble rouser when it comes to the question of Cake vs. Pie [7].

If you'd like to win a (future) copy of the CakeSpy book just lease a comment with this post, and if you'd like please answer this question: Are you Team Pie or Team Cake? I hereby publicly declare myself Team Cake, pies are great but cake has a power I cannot deny. Ok, you've got until Saturday, May 21st at 10 a.m. PST to enter, the fine print [8], as always, applies. Good luck. Closed, thanks for entering!

Urban Craft Uprising wrap-up

We went to Urban Craft Uprising [1] on Saturday and on the way I discovered that there was no memory card in my camera, so I didn't get to take any pictures. But I did find a bunch of businesses that I liked:

[2]

Morse code necklaces by Coatt [3]. (Secret messages!)

[4]

Posters by Row Boat Press [5], this Night Flight diptych is also glow in the dark.

[6]

Simple jewelry by Foamy Wader [7]. I bought myself these [8] in silver, they are delightfully light weight.

[9]

Really fun bias tape from Polly Danger [10].

[11]

Gorgeous enameled jewelry by Alisha Louise [12], you get to chose your color for each piece. I have my eye on this pull-though necklace.

[13]

These chiffon earrings from Muchodesign [14], she had a whole tree of them and they were delightfully flitty. Is that a word?

[15]

An LED Sewing Kit from Sternlab [16] which was sold by the lovely Moxie [17], who offers this Needle Felted Coin Cell Battery Pack [18] tutorial so you can create your own glowy pendant.

[19]

Jewelry by Dottyspeck [20]. I have some earrings similar to this design that I picked up from the CakeSpy [21] Shop and adore them.

See also: I listed businesses I went to see there [22] in a previous post. Love them all.

This is my view down into the industrial kitchens from my seat at Serious Pie (as in pizza). Those Hobart mixers mean business.
