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

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

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

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.

ohhhh yes, the cupcakes with nipples, I love those things!!! Gobbled them up at various parties around SoCal.

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.

One of these days I hope to be able to bake for more of my online friends, both from here and other sites. Ask anyone who has had my baking and they will back me up. I would like to try the cupcakes from Sprinkles, just for comparison. They might be better.
