Near Kwiddens's apartment is a tiny little cupcake bakery. We decided to try it out, so we split three kinds: red velvet with cream cheese frosting, chocolate with vanilla frosting, and tiramisu.
WOW. What a disappointment. The red velvet was devoid of flavor, and the frosting was too cheesy. The chocolate was unimpressive, and the vanilla frosting had a strange, chemical taste to it. The tiramisu was delicious, but it was too strong, overwhelmingly so, so I could only eat a few bites before I was feeling sickish. To top it all off, all three were dry and crumbly.
This did NOT satisfy the need for baked goods.

sad. it is never fun to be disappointed with a cupcake.
that's another thing about the national cupcake obsession that bugs the starch out of me: since they're everywhere now, there are far, far too many overpriced and awful ones.
the other night, we were looking for somewhere to go that had good pancakes. the man googled "DC pancakes." google came back with "did you mean 'DC cupcakes'?" the man yelled at the computer, "NO, i did NOT MEAN CUPCAKES!" it's out of control...
Haha, Magnolia, I really wish we lived close to each other because I think I would have a blast hanging with you! You crack me up.
There is a tiny little cupcake shop on Main Street in my town that actually has the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had. At least there's balance in the universe...
