Not even any food hate here, but what is the appeal of cupcakes? I mean, they're merely crappy, high calorie delivery vehicles for frosting. Just eat the fucking frosting. Cream puffs (the good ones anyway, not the ones from Whalemart) are a thin pastry shell, and make a decent bite-sized desert. Cupcakes even come with the cake part decoratively wrapped in paper, as if to suggest "don't eat me you idiot, just lick the frosting off".
