I dunno, you have to wait a couple hours in line for the privilege to pay $5 for one. I'll eventually let you know when the mobs die down

Cupakes are the most popular gourmets deserts as of now, half a decade ago it was Frozen Yogurt which was extremely popular like Pinkberries and tasti delite which dominated for about a decade as well, and before that it was donuts which was popular in much of the mid 80s- mid 90s, Hortons and Crispy Crème became real popular after. During the eighties chocolate chip cookes were popopular and before then it was brownies.

I just had a conversation yesterday about Tasty D lite and how there used to be so many locations in the early 2000 but now a lot of them have closed. Then Pink Berry came in, and now its those frozen yogurt places with 16 flavors like 16 handles.

Don't forget rum raisin ice-cream and Chipwiches which were sold from carts on every corner in Midtown for a dollar a piece.

That's the thing these gourmet handy deserts come and go. In the next couple of years Yuppies will not be eating cupcakes but something else will come along and take its place.

It does not even sound appetizing to me but I am not really one to mix pastries either. I suppose I would try one at least once and I may be pleasantly surprised.

Anything where the frosting is that heavy looks to me like the crappy things they sell in the sleaziest diners.
