Wallingford purveyor Trophy Cupcakes is making the jump across I-5 to University Village, if this window announcement is to believed. Now nearby residents won’t have to make the cross-town trek to Royale in Ballard. We wonder if this means that the Village is becoming more hip, or if indie cupcakes have gone mainstream.

I’ve been a fan of Trophy Cupcakes for quite some time. I love their variety (chai cardamom, lemon strawberry, red velvet). But recently, the owner was featured on Martha Stewart making a wonderful new cupcake: Chocolate Graham Cracker with Marshmallow Cream.

Local blogs have covered the Martha Stewart appearance and new cupcake pretty extensively. [Link], [Link], and [Link]. (And can I just say… a blog devoted entirely to cupcakes? How cool!)

The recipe is even online.

For the past few weeks, Trophy Cupcakes has been offering these tasty bits of brilliance on selected days every few weeks. Now though, they will be regularly available on Sundays and Mondays. That means you can get one of your very own tomorrow!
