I have a co-worker that makes good cupcakes and brings them in on Fridays for everyone to enjoy. Only the culinary challenged would actually pay $4.50 per cupcake-something that would fit into the palm of your hand. People who would even spend this sort of money on 1 cupcake should not even think about having a cow about the economy at this point due to the price that they are willing to pay for a cupcake. But then again, $4-$6 for a single cup of coffee with no re-fill is insane also.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-38754835752092549412010-10-01T21:22:30.179-04:002010-10-01T21:22:30.179-04:00I think cupcakes are cool.

Yes they are an American tradition, they're cute, delicious and functional (no knives needed for cutting, no plates needed for holding), yet once everyone realizes that these little gems are simply cake, will we really wait in line for hours just to taste something we've already tasted before? I recently read an article ranking cupcakes #1 of seven dying food trends in 2010 - along with lava cakes and flavored salts. No doubt the cupcake craze will taper off and I promise we won't miss them at $4.50 a pop! Frankly, any experienced baker knows that a cupcake costs about twenty five cents to make; an ingenious business person knows to charge a customer a bit more than that. But don’t choke on that cupcake my friends, let's enjoy each sweet little bite while we wait for the next food trend to come along - there's no telling what it will be!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
