If someone invented a machine that auto-generated random combinations of food buzzwords, you’d only have to press the button a few times before the term “cupcake popup” would emerge. However local party phenom Trophy Cupcakes is making this phrase a reality by opening a shop on the third floor of Pacific Place for the holiday season. The temporary store pops up Monday, November 14, and runs through December 31.

The shop will sell party supplies and boxed cupcakes in groupings of four or a dozen, a boon to the holiday party-throwing and gift-giving masses. Boxes come filled with classics, party flavors or seasonals, starting with Trophy’s candied yam cupcake and moving on to chocolate candy cane come November 28. Sharing-averse patrons can buy individual cupcakes in a few of Trophy’s most popular flavors, namely neapolitan, salted caramel, vanilla and red velvet.
