I wanted to share the news with you first. We've made the tough decision to close our beloved Ballard Cupcake Royale. Our last day in Ballard is Sunday, March 17.
While this wasn't our first location, it was the one that put us on the map, and literally helped birth the cupcake revolution across the US.
Ballard has been our HQ – our bakery, our cafe and our team's office since 2004, and it’s time to move on. Thank you for being a part of our story and success in Ballard. We’re also grateful for our genius team over the years – bakers, frosters, baristas, sprinkle bitches, dishwashers and delivery drivers who have been foundational to our success. We built this together. We shared random acts of cupcakes. We sparked joy.
I want to clarify that Cupcake Royale and the business are not going away. Times have changed since we opened 20 years ago, and it's time to revamp our business and adapt for the next 20 years. You can still get our cupcakes at our other cafes or schedule delivery on our website. Plus, we're opening a pop up in Capitol Hill soon!
For our Ballard customers, pre-ordered cupcakes can be picked up at Salt & Straw Ballard after we close (details to come).
In the meantime, please visit us in Ballard in the coming week. We’d love to see you! We'll be open through March 17th and will have some sweet deals and one-of-a-kind mementos just for you! Please check our Instagram for details. Mostly, I'd love to see you and thank you for all the love in Ballard over the past two decades!
Thank you and see you soon,
Jody Hall
Founder of Cupcake Royale
