a handheld delight this is not

cupcakes. i thought a visit to cupcakes on kavanaugh would make a decent post. two cupcakes later and zero inspiration, i shelved the project. no, don’t blame a case of writer’s block, ‘cause writer’s block this ain’t. the cupcakes; cute? sure. delectable & addictive? uh, no. in the minority, i am not an icing whore. these cupcakes have a lot of icing. & on a completely different rant, when did it become the fashion to add the icing on the cupcake like a bad toupée? (see both photos) i purchased a vanilla and a chocolate cupcake for $2.95 each. the vanilla cake tasted like cornbread. yes, cornbread. the chocolate cake conjures nothing to pen. i am confident there are plenty of palateless peeps and children that love the sugar rush of the abundance of icing to keep this cupcakery in business. but, if balance of good cake and good icing is what you seek in a handheld delight, get motivated and get out your martha stewart’s cupcakes cookbook. that’s all i got for you.
