Cupcakes

[Annette Curtain]

If I see ONE more "new cupcake company" offering its wares in E.D. i'll shove my fist through their sugar frosted teeth.

Really are we in need of furter "cupcake options-all events catered for" sprinkled with extra glitter, la la la.

Actually, I bet "her" Jam face over the road is baking/planning some right now, ready to give to me for Xmas.

Give me strength.

Okay I'll bite.

Whilst I see them at every fete, jamboree and fair in the neighbourhood, if someone were to ask me where they could buy an assortment of cupcakes I should open my mouth in a confident and yet scornful manner and yet find myself unable to direct them accordingly.

I assume the various bakeries do them, do they? Do the delis too?

o? sont les g?teaux de la coupe?

STOP THIS CUPCAKE MADNESS

Quite aside from the total infantilisation of deliciousness (ladies, get your cupcake jewellery here, cupcake charm bracelets, necklaces, pyjamas; all the cupcake fun but none of the pesky calories with our fabulous knitted cupcakes - seriously, what the fuck?) THEY TASTE SHIT.

I hate cupcakes. I hate them. I do. I want to smash them to a million crumbs in their bland dry massive sponginess, topped with sickly day-glo icing, (not to mention glitter), the ratio of which is completely out of kilter with the enormocake-of-all-shitness. Fucking cupcakes.

I like a victoria sponge.

And now there's the evil little sister of the cupcake - the cake pop. It's a little round cake on a bloody wooden stick. Y'know, like a lollipop. Infantile crap for a culture that's addicted to superficial novelty and can't appreciate simple good food. They'll be all over ED this Xmas, mark my words...

I see everywhere selling these cupcakes, but have yet to see anyone buying them

[csaddleton]

Thank god. I am also sick of this cup cake sh*t. People bring them in to work and are all oooh look how wholesome I am I baked some cup cakes for you all, with total smugness. I HATE IT.

What KK Said they are Fing Fairy Cakes! Cup Cakes were by Cadburys and had a think slice of Chocky on.

Red velvet cake. Another prime example of baked whatthefuckery.

Love cupcakes - can't see how you can make much money selling them though. The cupcake shop in CP closed down recently to concentrate on online sales - not surprised TBH, the place was often empty and seemed to be frequented only by students and 'home' workers who would buy a single cup of coffee - rarely a cupcake - and would sit hogging tables for hours on end jabbing away at their laptops.

I make victoria sponges and lemon drizzle cakes just to mention a few :)

[RosieH]

Do you make cakes for Peace?

I make chocolate crispy cakes. With a bar of chocolate and cornflakes. All the time. Apologies to the PTA.

[Alan Medic]

We used to have rice crispie thingies which was basically melted chocolate and rice crispies in a paper thing which you can still get but I dont remember the name of. I've never had a cake in a cup. We always had cakes on a plate with a fork. Are cupcakes a sort of microsoft/apple war type of thing? Is there a definition of one? I once saw a reslly good movie about buttons. I expect there will be a cupcake one soon but way over my head.....LOL.........whatever that means

You ate cake with a FORK!??

Eeeeeeeh, thas posh.

I like Bread Pudding but not fish flavoured.

From my memories book.

People are kind. I was putting on a new door one day , the lady of the house was cooking . She gave me a cup of tea, and asked if I liked bread pudding, I said I did and she gave me a large piece of newly cooked pudding. I took a bite out of it, it tasted a bit fishy so I did not eat it, and when she was not looking I threw it out onto the grass area in front of the house. The dog chased after it and brought it back, and dropped it at my feet just as the lady returned, I had to say that I had dropped it in the dirt.

I was to fit a new back door for her the next day, so I asked her if I could look at the old one to make sure that I brought the right type with me in the morning. As I passed through the kitchen, on the table were the remains of kippers and half eaten crusts from the bread. Perhaps this was the fishy taste to my bread pudding?

The next day as I worked, at ten o?clock, there was a cup of tea, and Yes, a black piece of bread pudding with shiny glass currants! How could I get out of eating this?

If I threw it the dog might bring it back, if I buried it, he might dig it up.

When I left the house I wondered whether the birds would have eaten it, or would it become exposed in the Autumn as the leaves fell revealing that piece of bread pudding nailed to the tree in the garden!

TMI shorty, really.

[katie1997]

despite subsequent edit, its STILL tmi, shorty. but you already know that.

[Annette Curtain]

We hate cup cakes it seems!

However, i'm not actually intersested in your cake of choice.

Though, I am restored by your mutual loathing.

(i do fancy a kip's bakewell btw)

And y are you people so against the cupcake?

Just think of them as mini individual servings of cakes. Good for kids arent they?

Mayb the ones you have experienced were just not that nice?

They are just simple and pretty to serve.. I think they are quite nice for eg carrot cake cupcakes, lemon poppyseed.

As long as they are not overwelmed with buttercream.

Seriously is this even an argument? 😳

[woodrot]

they are crap
