Valentine's Day Popup Shop

Valentine's Day Popup Shop at Icing on the Cake

We were recently invited to open a popup shop for Valentine's Day, last Sunday, in a wonderful local woman-owned business, the Icing on the Cake cupcake place in downtown Bellingham. As it turned out, the weekend was marked by a rare appearance of snow, so the afternoon was quiet and serene, with few people venturing out for treats, unfortunately—everything I've tasted from this place is amazing!

Vivian's company was delightful (the lovely person shown in the photo above); we made a couple of sales, despite the weather; and we look forward to returning to the shop in a couple of weeks, and regularly in the seasons to come. We'll announce the dates here as they approach, and we hope you'll come and visit if you're nearby!
