hello, cupcake, the much anticipated cupcake shop between BKB & Company gallery and South Sound Running in downtown Tacoma will have a pre-opening event Thursday, Aug. 30 followed by a grand opening celebration this weekend.

Julie Bennett, owner of neighboring urbanXchange, was lucky enough to sample their delicious lemon, chocolate espresso, key lime and coconut cupcakes. 

“They’re absolutely gorgeous, too,” says Bennett. â€" Suzy Stump
