Cupcake Crazy

Smores cupcake from More Cupcakes in Chicago

Maybe it's just me (Ray) that doesn't get this whole cupcake craze. Sure it's cute that you get creative with the flavors, design, and gobs of artery clogging frosting. But let's be honest, it's like 3 bites of cake for $3, $4, even $5.

And there are so many of them now coming out of the woodwork and invading strip malls, mall malls, trucks, and stands. And then there are TV shows dedicated to this cupcake phenomenon showing how bush league some of these cupcakeries are operated.

Call me old fashioned, but I want some real cake. Multiple layers of cake.

I don't want a tiramisu cupcake*—I want some real rum and espresso soaked lady fingers with marscapone tiramisu dusted with cocoa powder.


* I did have a CupKates' tiramisu cupcake from a work celebration earlier in the week. And damn it, it was delicious.
