Stephanie and Jenne's great Seattle cupcake adventure

I like cupcakes. (Understatement of the century.) You might say that I'm a cupcake connoisseur. Someone else I know loves cupcakes. Her name is Jenne. Jenne kicks ass. She's a breast cancer survivor, and was the national spokeswoman for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure.

As the national spokeswoman, Jenne spoke at every 3-Day event around the country. At one of the Washington D.C. events, she made a cameo on an episode of TLC's hit show DC Cupcakes!

Ever since, I've been thinking about a way to woo Jenne into coming to Seattle and hanging out with me. After all, seeing and hearing her speak at the 3-Day was always one of the highlights of the event! And learning that she loves cupcakes like I do has helped me to figure out how to get her here.

Alright Jenne, check out a sampling of the cupcake offerings here in the great city of Seattle...
