Yes, thanks to the generosity of LSPE, I've had the pleasure of sampling these devilish treats. They are every bit as delicious and addictive as one might imagine, perhaps more so. :)

I'd have to agree. I made that comment when they first came out with birthday cupcakes put together to look like a cake. I even saw graduation cupcake cakes this year at Safeway.

The boy had cupcakes for his bday this year but we didn't have a party. So he wanted to bring Iron Man colored cupcakes to everyone he knew before we all went to see Iron Man on his bday.

I like cup cakes because they are a nice small portion of cake and then I hopefully don't overindulge:blush:

Don't feel bad DP, I have never heard of these.

Though they seem excessive for cupcakes. They are cupcake sized? yes?

Jim Gaffigan bit:

And what is it with all this cake at the office?

A: Hey, there's a party for Joe in the lunchroom.
B: Geez, I can't stand that guy.
A: There's cake.
B: Well, I should stop in and say hello.

i have not had those, but I can probably make better. I'll let you know if I ever have any.

They sound pretty good...except we don't have those kind of shops here.

As far as cupcakes vs traditional cake for Birthdays I do prefer cake. The reason? One of my pet peeves is sprinkles (not the shops you are referencing ). I just don't like the texture of them in my mouth. Yes...I know I'm weird.

However I think a larger than usual cupcake is perfect for a Birthday treat for someone celebrating a Birthday by his/her self (like someone away at College) as long as it includes a candle or two to be placed and lit. It might also work well as a surprise for a friend or a relative that lives far away.

Speaking of candles I have an idea about one that I have not seen done before. Remember the Unbirthday cake from Alice In Wonderland? I am picturing a larger than normal candle (with stripes) that when lit plays the Unbirthday song and looks like a sparkler (but is not fake...if that is even possibl3e I have no idea). Does a candle like this actually exist?

I am sure your cupcakes are scrumptious, Melonballer. I also make great cupcakes but I'm unable to come close to the perfection that is Sprinkles.

Dude, BDB, I would so love one of those candles. I'd love to put it on a cake like this!

That is an awesomely cute cake! I'd love to have a cake like that!

Anywho...back to the candle....Sadly my imagination comes up with the idea but I don't know how to make it happen and become a reality. I have a fantastic imagination but usually my skills and knowledge are lacking if that makes any sense.

I have seen the candles that play music, my boys bought me the Over the Hill one that plays the death march, a few years ago. They're lucky to both still be alive;)

I think the sparkler might melt the frosting. It would sure look cool until it did though!
