My personal favorite a part of Christmastime may be the tree with colorful lights during my family room. It can make the entire house feel more magical. And I enjoy take a seat on the couch and drink hot cocoa and browse a magazine using the tree twinkling nearby.

I love cupcakes, but only homemade ones. The ones I have eaten that are lavishly decorated by a professional always taste very dry to me. I am always amazed by the parents of my sixth graders who purchase cupcakes, when 30 cupcakes cost anywhere from $15 to $30, and homemade ones are so inexpensive. My student who brought them yesterday was so proud to tell us he helped make them himself. Just makes sense to me.

I guess I missed this craze until now. However, after reading this I Googled “cupcakes” and what popped up? A store called “Yummy Cupcakes”; there are three locations in the L.A. area! Who knew? Apparently this company is now offering franchise opportunities; hmm, makes me almost want to quit my job for a new career! (Honestly, I don’t get it either. Yes, they’re easy to eat, but I’m not really into all that icing!

I love the little cupcakes as I don’t feel so guilty eating one and there are so many yummy flavours. I don’t buy from the chain that makes the larger ones.

I don’t want to read about baking them. My interest is solely in eating them – especially the honeycomb or lemon merringue ones.

[...] All About Romance has a post about the cupcake craze and how it manifests itself in books. The cupcake craze is one of those phenomena that has passed Germany by, though I have seen arty cupcakes on sale in Britain. I’m not sure what the point is either, since the more decorated and “arty” a cake or pastry looks, the worse it usually tastes. Which is why I bypassed the arty cupcakes for a slice of banana-toffee pie or cheesecake or brownies or scones or something else that tastes good rather than just looking pretty.

I’ll admit that I bought one of the books you mentioned but only because I like the writers style of writing…there is no way I would buy the others though- one is enough. I’m not sure what the appeal is for the overpriced baked goods these days but they sure are getting pricey…lol…..

I also live in DC and we love cupcakes! They are such a fun treat to get when you’re wandering around in the spring and need a snack. Plus I like comparing them from all the dozen cupcake bakeries. Although I admit I am a baked goods person so I am naturally inclined towards them. Would love to read about them in romance, thanks for the suggestions!
