cupcake bakery hate is definitely, 100% sublimated desire to physically harm women in colored tights

i've had the mojito cupcake, it's good!

maybe i like variety and can buy several different cupcakes, cut them up, and share them?
But none of them will be anywhere near as good as an actual cake, for the reasons Laurel mentions. It's not an optimal way to bake cake. Muffin pans are for muffins. I don't fully understand it, but there is chemistry involved.

I'm impressed by anyone who makes anything tasty.
Easily impressed. Give a monkey some combination of sugar, cream, butter, chocolate and you will be in awe.

btw i am kind of glad the bourdain thread is getting cluttered with cupcake talk. i am imagining him and david chang reading it and being all like "what a bunch of STUPID motherfuckers!!'

cupcakes: u r all gay

I'm with Laurel on cupcake craze = meh. Cupcakes USED to be this kind of oddity, where once a year some person would randomly bring in a bunch of homemade cupcakes...or some whimsical person would go on a 'childhood' flight of fancy. I was okay with them in that context. Now there are ROVING VANS of cupcakes, and bakeries of cupcakes, and there are cupcake wedding cakes and cupcake birthday cakes and they're really not that big of a deal. There's too many of them. Period. Cake pwns cupcake. End of story.

i kinda want the martha stewart cupcake book but that's more about martha than cupcakes and probably moot anyway since i steer away from wheat as much as possible these days.

we've been posting about cupcakes on the anthony bourdain thread, i think a digression into mods vs. hipsters is not only appropriate but also necessary

at least it's not "rimmed" with caramel "drizzle"

i think its called "sweet revenge" or some such

you would expect the whoopie pie to be the answer to the engineering problems inherent in the cupcake format while still maintaining the single serving size and cuteness factor but really the cake portion just ends up sticking to your fingers, or sticking to the wrapper in a way that is less familiar and more upsetting than what happens when you tear away the paper from a cupcake. i still think it might blow up at some point.

i had a ~$4.50 champagne-grape-brie cupcake a couple of weeks ago...that shit just happened
from this place lolzFrom the twisted minds at More Cupcakes comes a wallet-baiting creation on par with a thousand-dollar pizza or i65 martini: the $75 white truffle cupcake. The savory creation is built on a base of white truffle-infused cake, topped with bacon frosting (of course) and crowned with a thorough snow of shaved fresh white truffles. If you set aside a mere five bucks a day, you'll have enough socked away by its debut in early October, at the start of white truffle season.

gourmet cupcakes make about as much sense to me as gourmet 'smores or gourmet caramel apples.
that white truffle cupcake has got to go. yes, yes, there needs to be a fire.

Okay I have had a gourmet caramel apple with dark chocolate and crushed hazelnuts caked to it, and it's a kind of heaven on this earth.
