@tsarstepan,
Have you found any worth getting excited about? I tried them from a few of the "famous" places when they got trendy in New York about six (?) years ago. Magnolia, etc.
Very disappointing. They all looked so adorable and cute and and and tasted <shrug>
@ehBeth,
To be honest. I've only tried a couple of places. They look much better then they taste.
Crumbs,
Magnolias, and
Billy's Bakery.
@tsarstepan,
They've snuck in something new. They're called muffins, and if muffin isn't preceded by the word English, it's the most gawdawful, calorie infested piece of cake you ever want to wrap your lips around.
@djjd62,
Peanut butter and butterscotch filling?! I'm feeling a bit feint from the potential deliciousness of it all ....
@tsarstepan,
if i ever get to chicago it's the first place i'm going
@tsarstepan,
Yes, it's become the
art of the cupcake and not the
edibility of the cupcake.
@Green Witch,
And they're bloody expensive to boot!
I speak only from afar as I haven't tried any of the recent cupcake fare.
I figure a really good cake recipe would work with cupcakes, but maybe I'm just ignorant on that.
I like some english muffins, some muffins, some biscuits and not others, some cupcakes, some cakes. I do pose the question of the art structure of the cupcake possibly being in inverse ratio to the actual tastiness.
My sweet little neighbors baked cupcakes for our bake sale a few weeks ago. She called them Fairy Cakes. They cut the top off of the cup cake, scoop a little of the cake out of the bottom and fill it with buttercream...then cut the top in half and lay the halves on top at an angle to make them look like wings....they are pretty and DELICIOUS.
@tsarstepan,
That looks like a perfume bottle.
Hey Cupcake here in Austin has the most wonder Red Velvet Cupcakes.

@tsarstepan,
Now that cupcakes are about over as a fad, time for me to start making them.
