I should have seen it coming, I saw the first Crumbs store go in and recently Georgetown Bakery in Boston, but it looks like cup cakes are the new retro thing for x-gen’s, next gen’s and ‘millennial’s” alike. AND WHO CAN RESIST? Colorful, cute, and sweet, designer cupcakes are the new loves on the block. From a fast lunch, coffee break to wedding cake substitute, these portable yummies are the new “go-to” snack of style. I guess there is also an immense comfort in something so recognizable to me. The very shape is iconic and it seems that the big glop of frosting on top is permissible in any diet. Looks like the next thing dear Mr. Bloomberg might have to censor (but wait, it’s OK for New Yorkers to gulp down millions of cups of coffee with cream?).
Anyway I digress, but for me it’s just one more thing for a generation who grew up eating with their hands at McDonalds’ instead of the dinner table yet another portable thing that requires little tabletop experience.
When you serve dessert, use cake plates, at least to serve from. No out of the box settings please!
