Hey Cupcake!

While out and about in Austin yesterday with friends, we popped into Hey Cupcake’s permanent location on Burnet Road. Hey Cupcake is an Austin icon, known near and far for their amazing cupcakes sold out of shiny bright Airstreams, complete with giant cupcakes on top. I know, I know, you’re asking yourself “ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW HAVE I LIVED WITHOUT THIS MY ENTIRE LIFE?” Trust me, we all feel the exact same way sister.

Although I’ve had cupcakes from several of their food trailer locations, this was my first visit to their permanent bakery location. I can’t even tell you how overwhelmed with joy I was when I walked in and first saw this, of course:

Followed by this!

They’ve made their counter out of a vintage Airstream shell, so you don’t lose the amazing glamping charm even though you’re inside what could have been a regular old bakery (well, a regular old bakery where the cupcakes are made with you know… MAGIC by unicorns and possibly angels). Although it is sad to see an Airstream beyond repair, if one had to go to the junkpile in the sky I can’t think of a better heaven than spending eternity inside a cupcake bakery.

They also have some great Airstream swag, as if fabulous cupcakes weren’t enough. Check out their t-shirt logo, and cute little buttons:

I now have a huge desire to completely glampify an Airstream with a cupcake theme. Anyone out there decorated their glamper with cupcakes? If so, send us pictures right now! Hurry up, we can’t wait to see it!

The verdict on the actual cupcakes? Mmmmmmmmm. There is a reason these are Austin’s favorites.

And we couldnt' let you go without sharing the "HEY CUPCAKE!" story - this video is all the best of a vanilla cupcake Airstream dream as if told by Tim Burton... Don't Stop Vanilla Dreamin! Hold on to that feeeeeeelin'.... Cupcakes... PEOPLE.
