The Anthony Bourdain thread

if i had been running into cupcakes as often as some of u people apparently do maybe i'd feel the same way.

it's 2009, there are no mods only hipsters

There is no Dana, only Zul.

there are no mods only hipsters

Not for this thread but you are so wrong.

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

from the newest local cupcakery's site:

Now serving deluxe cupcakes daily--including the favorite "Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate" every day, and a constantly rotating selection of flavors like "Caramel-Infused Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache Frosting and Caramel Drizzle" and "Chocolate-Coconut Cake with Coconut Creme Filling and Chocolate Ganache Frosting Rimmed in Toasted Coconut."

Cupcakes sold since May 18, 2009: 32,624

i wonder what contenderizer and nabisco might have to say about cupcakes

there is this cupcake place in the village that does wine pairings w/ its cupcakes

Jordan I think it is your sworn duty to go to that cupcakery and punch everyone there in the gunt.

xxxp too much fuckin' chocolate

"Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate-Chocolate"

love cupcakes, hate cupcake names

"Caramel-Infused Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Ganache Frosting and Caramel Drizzle"

I mean seriously wtf with this "name"

xxp Likewise max must savage all people found within 10' radius of that wine + cupcake place.

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.

"rimmed with crusted chocolate"

whoopie pies > > >> > > cupcakes

oh god, please do not get me started on the beard-ruining travesty that is the whoopie pie

i had a ~$4.50 champagne-grape-brie cupcake a couple of weeks ago...that shit just happened

from this place lolz
From 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.

BURN THAT PLACE TO THE GROUND NOW

finally after all these millenia a good use for fire

what the sweet bejesus is a whoopie pie?

This has become the silliest food argument ever. I like that about it.

what the sweet bejesus is a whoopie pie?

Worst trend in porn so far.

whoopie pie is a northerner moon pie

moon pie is a southern version of a whoopie pie

you are just making up names now.

haha thanking u for that clarification que

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.

ugh, cupcakes can go straight to hell and burn in the fiery pits for ever.

well then

I kind of love this GIF tbh

tbh i only dislike the proliferation of fancy shop cupcakes cos it means my old system of making cupcakes as birthday presents is now PASSE and i have to think of something else (also i'm no way as good w/ frosting).

also because two pounds for a fucking cupcake, you have got to be shitting me.

so what the hell is this

hahah i think i watched that before we actually found the shop and i was pretty wtf

this thread needs some muffin films

the scrapbooking-x-paint-shop-pro-6 ragged edges on that gif remind me of tips, tricks and techniques to jazz up the graphics on your website from the web pages that suck: learn good design by looking at bad design paperback my dad bought me in place of a tree grows in brooklyn in middle school

fyi.

We make a lot of cupcakes in our house - they're ideal for kids' (and non-kids') parties, cos, y'know, you bring a huge fucking tray of them and everyone gets one, rather than people trying to daintily slice 1/32nd of a big-ass cake.

Pies obviously >>> cakes. And it's coming up to Pie Season.

sometimes i wish i had glasses that would selectively defocus everything apart from like a four-inch strip of space and then the world would look as awesome as it does in food photos :(

like beer goggles, except 'food goggles'? yes, I would like these too.
