Cupcake Craze…
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006
Puppies are passé, the new accessories for ‘it’ girls are cupcakes. Once Sex and the City gave publicity to Magnolia Bakery in NYC, everyone has been on a confection craze. Even the Olsen twins have recently invested in a cupcake business (Sweet Lady Jane). The above collage is constructed from some old tears from Elle Decoration magazine (December 05 issue).
Edit (by Leo): Sorry my English is not so good so it turns out cupcakes are different from muffins. For local readers, in or around Philadelphia, our favorite cupcakes muffins are sold across the street from us at The Pond (630 N 2nd St just south of Fairmount and 2nd). They’re provided by Baker Jim our local culinary cupcake craftsman. All of the baked goods he sells there are awesome, but the various berry filled cupcakes are simply nothing short of amazing, not to mention that they’re a steal at $2.
Do you have a favorite cupcake and/or muffins place? Share it with everyone in the comments.
