I'm over cupcakes

There. I said it.

They were having a moment in the US, but that moment is gone. I'm over them.

Everyone is. That's why their bakeries are always full of cupcakes and devoid of people.

No offense, OP, but your cupcakes are dry and tasteless. Nobody ever likes your cupcakes.

Is this that fat bitch that has moved on to Bisquick?

Brilliant zeitgeist update from 2005. Thanks OP. Any more pithy observations from your crypt?

I was never UNDER cupcakes. Too much frosting, too expensive, and too sweet. The best thing that happened to cupcakes is the hack when you rip the frosted top off it, flip it over so the frosting is facing the ripped side, and eat that way so you can enjoy frosting with almost every bite like you do with a piece of layer cake.

Or, just have some regular layer cake.

I like cupcakes but I make them myself.

NYC has Magnolia cupcakes which are so sweet you get a headache just looking at them. They also taste terrible 5 minutes after you take them from the store--you have to eat them immediately to enjoy them.

We used to have Crumbs, with huge cupcakes, but that went out of business early as the cupcake craze ended.

In Soho, Georgetown Cupcakes had some of the most delicious cupcakes I've ever tasted (I assume the store's originally from the DC area), but the pandemic killed that store and it is no more.

Aren't cupcakes just cakes in a smaller shape?

Ok Cupcake.

The rest of us were done with cupcakes over 10 yrs ago. You're late to the party and you started a stupid thread.

OP, what's your stance on sliders and molecular gastronomy?

Related but not: I like muffins. I am a Californian, veganish (I don't question the fats/oils in breads etc.), organic etc etc. And I am pretty seduced and regularly get fooled by "muffins" that are really cupcakes. Starbucks is a case in point and I regularly lie to myself and ..."oh, and give me a blueberry muffin" and then eat it and think, "this is just cake..."

So, it's more than just "bran", but to me muffins should be muffins and not cupcakes.

[quote] NYC has Magnolia cupcakes

Magnolia had the worst cupcakes ever.

Take it from this fat whore who has scarfed down several Krispy Kremes in one sitting: Magnolia frosting is obnoxiously, tooth aching sweet. But the cake part is dry, like eating sand.

The original store on Bleecker Street used to be a pet store. Every so often when I walk by and see a line around the block, I want to yell, “I hope they cleaned all the bird out of that place before they opened.”

The only reason they are popular is because they were mentioned on an episode of Sex & the City TWENTY YEARS AGO. Fuck Sex & the City for perpetuating those nasty cupcakes.

Cupcakes are overrated and usually covered with sickening frosting. Like R15, I’d rather have a muffin.

I was over red velvet cake right after eating my first slice. Hyped like it was some flavorful thing when it’s just sugar and food coloring. I couldn’t taste the cocoa.

We don't care and you type morbidly obese.

Cupcakes these days have towering piles of sickly sweet icing. More icing than cake. My mother made them when I was a kid and they were moist with a small dollop of buttercream spread on top.

Geez, 2013 called and wants its sentiment back. Almost all of the cupcake places here in SF were long gone before Covid had the chance to do them in.

Me too,OP. I'm back to Chocolate Eclairs, which always been my favorite dessert food. I don't know why I strayed.

"Two Broke Fraus" was LATE in the zeitgeist. Cupcakes are not their fault.
