I was in the giving mood and decided to share some very delicious things with the people I was going to be seeing. This is a Hey Cupcake! redux, complete with a very healthy Mathematikal on top.

Of course, the first thing that came to mind was the amazing Hey Cupcake! bakery founded and run by none other than southern california’s own Judy Park. Of course you all know how good these are already, since she’s been mentioned previously by me –but I am pretty sure you could use some more convincing.

I knew I was going to be seeing some very important people in my life last weekend so it was imperative that I came prepared with something very impressive (read: baked, frosted goodness). That’s where Hey Cupcake came into play. I snapped the above picture seconds after setting the box on the counter. A few minutes later, it was empty.

All weekend I was getting BB messages and calls telling me how effing delicious these little things were.

a very prominent figure at Gibson Guitars Beverly Hills BBm’d:

Those cupcakes are so good, I already ate one, I’m about to eat the rest (11) right now. seriously.

a very prominent makeup artist and wife of the aforementioned BBm’d:

These cupcakes are SOOOOO much better than Sprinkles. seriously, you could tell her I said that.

I don’t name drop, but these people are serious business.

Buy cupcakes to make the people in your life love you more, and tell Judy that tuftsmania sent you!

ANYWAYZZZZZ
What would a good post like this be without a good track to go with it? My friends in Malta, Mathematikal, have perfect timing.

Their newest remix of The Kills – Cheap and Cheerful just arrived in my mailbox earlier today. After a couple listens, I realized it was the perfect addition to a post about Hey Cupcake!.

The magnitude of this track is really impressive. Cowbells, Tambourines, Handclaps, and that familiar dirty synth of Mathematikal. Well done boys!

Cheap and Cheerful! (like the cupcakes!)
