The cupcake craze

October 13th, 2007

Since I started thinking about writing my blog I have been reading more and more food blogs.  I noticed a strange trend, cupcakes are everywhere!  These aren’t your regular supermarket dry, sugar-high cupcakes either.  Okay, so maybe I’m a little behind on the times.  Cupcake blogs are everywhere: here, here and here.  I visited a friend in San Francisco last spring and she mentioned a bakery around the corner from her that sold nothing but cupcakes.  I had never heard of such a thing.  “How cool!” I thought.

All the varieties, decorations, and flavors are enough to make a food-loving, sugar-craving guy like me go crazy!  Well, I am not here to start another cupcake blog, but boy have they made me hungry for cupcakes.  I’ve been doing my research over the past few days (hence no recent blog entries) but I wanted to write today to ask for more ideas and to let you know I’m going to try a pumpkin cupcake recipe soon (with a secret and special topping)!  I hope it turns out good and that you’ll enjoy reading about it.
