The annual Blizzcon Gnomish Cupcake Request line is open!

What does that mean?

It means if you’re going to Blizzcon (or aren’t but for some reason will be in the Anaheim area the weekend of Blizzcon), and you follow either me or Techno on twitter, feel free to make a reasonable request for a flavor of cupcake you’d like to receive.

FAQ-like thing:

Who can ask for cupcakes? Honestly, it’s really anyone who goes to Blizzcon who knows us or kind of know us. If you’ve gotten a box before, ask away. If you’re friends with someone who has gotten a box, ask away. If you work for Blizz or wowhead or do cool creative stuff at Blizzcon and wear yourself out, ask away. If you’re not sure, leave a comment.

What does this cost? Nothing. I really just like giving out delicious things to people.

Seriously? Yes, seriously. But if you really want, bring me a sticker, draw me something, write me a haiku, do something fun and creative.

 What’s a reasonable request? It’s probably easier to say what’s not reasonable – I can’t do bacon, because it won’t stay crispy. I also still don’t have a good vegan gluten free cupcake recipe.

Does that mean I can accommodate vegan? Yes! It does!

Does it mean I can accommodate gluten free? Yes! It does!

But not both? Not this year.

How many cupcakes do I usually give people? Four. Which happens to be exactly what fits into a small bakery box.

How many flavors can someone request? Four – but don’t assume you’ll get all those.  I try, but sometimes it’s just hard to manage every request.

Should you tell me about food allergies and flavors you hate? Yes. Because Techno and I semi-randomly load the boxes. We’re super accommodating, because we’re not jerks, and also because Techno has a number of allergies of his own.

Seriously, super accommodating. If you want a (like someone did last year) a box of unfrosted chocolate cupcakes, no filling, no sprinkles, just cake, I am happy to make them.

Do the cupcakes travel well? Kind of. They end up in bakers boxes, which travel great in a car, but I have no idea how they’d handle planes. I’m also not sure how the TSA would react to a box of cupcakes.

When does this happen?  Blizzcon weekend – this year, we’ll be up on Friday. We’ll tweet, DM people and text the people we have numbers for when we arrive. Techno and I have cupcake t-shirts.

Where do I make requests? Here in comments, or on twitter.
