Cupcakes!

USA Today has a very enjoyable article on cupcakes in today's edition.

The paper mentions a couple things we've covered here in previous cupcake posts: the Cup-a-Cake container -- we have a couple! they're great -- and the blog Cupcakes Take the Cake.

Meanwhile, in Long Island there is an unfortunate trend advocated by the food police: the banning of cupcakes to celebrate birthdays at school. Honestly, have the food police never heard of "everything in moderation"? It's ridiculous to mar the celebration of a child's special day by insisting on "fruit platters" and lecturing on the evils of sugar.
