Cookie Monster Cupcake



My boyfriend sent this to me. Excellent. If the cupcake doesn't remind you of your childhood, the Cookie Monster will.

Cupcake Porn Attacks Me Out Work, At Home...



Okay. So I work about a block from Hello Cupcake in Dupont. People come in with their boxes all the time.

But even worse is the book. Hello Cupcake. It's so...cute. I mean, there are penguin cupcakes! Puppy Cupcakes! Panda Cupcakes!

Why do cupcakes have to be so fashionable? As I write this, I am wearing cupcake pajamas. No lies.



Searching "cupcake porn" in Google leads me to this site, complete with many, many pictures. They. Are. So. Beautiful.

This Week In Cupcakes

Barack Obama surprises Joe Biden with cupcakes for his 66th birthday. How very trendy of you, Barack.

Earlier this week, Marginal Revolutions wrote about Cupzzas; pizzas in cupcake form. Tasty.

Cupcakes are still on the up and up. Eventually if I have some extra tip money lying around I'll go to Hello Cupcake in Dupont Circle and try it out. They have the cutest boxes for carryout orders.

Today's Nostalgia: Baking goods without the big oven

I have written about cupcakes before, the tiny baked goods filled with nostalgia. I wrote about cupcake shops in particular, that are capitalizing on that nostalgia while not breaking your waistline.

Now apparently there is a toy cupcake machine that makes one at a time. It was reviewed at one of the budgeting blogs I read, Common Sense With Money, who is now starting to do reviews. This seems like a good item for Christmas, depending on the budget.

I wonder how similar this is to the Easy Bake Oven. And why does it have to be a toy? Now that I am sort of an adult, I don't have a use for 24 cupcakes. It would actually be better to have one at a time, but depending on how much is costs to make each one, it might be cheaper to buy individually from the shop.
