The Story

UNIQLO UTme! x Georgetown Cupcake

Georgetown Cupcake x UNIQLO’s UTme! Sticker Pack Collection is equal parts city love and Georgetown Cupcake love. The designs feature our signature cupcakes reimagined as adorable smiling characters, alongside playful nods to the District: an "I heart DC," blooming cherry blossoms, and our FEB 14 2008 founding postage stamp. It's a heartfelt tribute to the city that has been home to Georgetown Cupcake from the very beginning. Our Gameplay Collection nods to the addictive cupcake-merging tile game that had everyone hooked - a mid-play grid capturing that thrilling moment of being one swipe away from ultimate victory. Casual fans love the colorful, playful pattern, while players recognize the aspirational wink to a game they've spent hours mastering. Like everything in UTme!, these two design collections celebrate individuality and joyful design, exactly what Georgetown Cupcake is all about.
