Halloween may not be until tomorrow, but Cupcake tried out her Halloween costume over the weekend. She heard that her local Starbucks was hiring, and she thought Halloween would be her big chance to finally get inside the doors.
Cupcake: Don’t pay any attention to the part about “no pets please.”
Cupcake: Can I take your order?
All of Cupcake’s barista friends came outside to take her photo and to have their photos taken with her. She still didn’t get inside those doors, though. Better luck next time, Cup!
Cupcake’s costume is an apron borrowed from one of the plush “bearista” bears sold around the holidays in Starbucks stores. I used green thread to attach it to the collar of a black kitten harness. The apron strings are clipped to the belly band of the harness with a pair of clips I removed from conference lanyards I found in a drawer. Having them clipped turned out to be convenient when Cupcake stuck her arm over the apron strings.
Summer says
OMC, that is the most PERFECT Halloween costume ever! Good job, Cupcake!
I still think they should hire you.
Random Felines says
Cutest barista ever
Melissa & Mudpie says
This is absolutely the most brilliant, purrfect costume EVER. I cannot believe they didn’t hire you, Cupcake. You would bring in loads of customers just to see YOU!
The Island Cats says
The mom would like a double expresso this morning, Cupcake. We promise that she will tip you well. 🙂
Gidget Bluesky says
I’ll habs a caramel Catachino
Kitties Blue says
Cupcake, we cannot believe you didn’t get inside much less didn’t get hired. Can you imagine how much more business that Starbucks would get if you were working there. You look darn adorable. Happy Halloween. Hope you don’t get frightened by trick-or-treaters. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, angel Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth, Calista Jo and Cooper Murphy
Catatopia says
I agree they should have hired you, Cupcake. If you worked at my local Starbucks, I would go all the time and I don’t even drink coffee.
The Menagerie Mom says
They didn’t let you in, Cupcake? Even with you being that stinkin’ cute?!? Well, we think you make the purrfect barista!
Katie Isabella says
Cupcake, mom says it’s not her favorite coffee usually unless it’s doctored up. THEN, that’s another story; but for YOU…she said she’d be there every day with money in hand for coffee and your BIG tip.
Ellen Pilch says
Cupcake, you are soooo cute. I love this! You should enter all the pet Halloween contests.
Colehaus Cats says
We’ll have a venta soy Cupcake with room and no whip, please. MOL!
Brian Frum says
I’ll have a NipTaLatte pretty Cupcake!
Cathy Keisha says
Whoa! Are they dense in Starbucks. You could be their biggest attraction and drive in lots of customers. The fact that you’re not allowed inside is just wrong. I’ll have a venta nip Catte, part cream part lactose-free no sugar but a hint of silvervine.
Eastside Cats says
Seriously, Cupcake…someone should send a photo of you in your barista apron to the CEO of Starbucks! Maybe there will be lattes for life, or whipped cream for life…or something like that! Saw you on FB and your adorableness made me smile from ear to ear.
Memories of Eric and Flynn says
They should have hired you, Cupcake. You are the best barista ever.
The Swiss Cats says
Well done ! That’s a great Halloween costume ! Purrs
Kathleen MacEllis says
A vente catnipchino to go please !
Cupcake , you are so adorable !
I would have hired you on the spot !
William's Kith & Kin says
We think Starbucks should pay you for cute advertising, Cupcake!
Mark's Mews says
We don’t like costumes ourselfs, and TBT never drinks cofee, but we think we might wear those! Very nice costume.
Raven says
Cupcake, you’re too young to be working. I’m sure there are kitten labor laws that must be followed.
mommakatandherbearcat says
Who needs coffee when you have Cupcake?!?! I’m pretty sure she knows she’s adorable … “will work for whipped cream!”

Cupcake, you are the cutest Starbucks barista I’ve ever seen!
Connie - Tails from the Foster Kittens says
I bet that totally made the day of the employees. I bet there were people who were actually jealous they missed it (I know I am)
