Default Whats the deal with....

...cupcakes all of a sudden?

Everywhere you go or everything you watch there are cupcakes, and over priced ones at that.

Why the sudden explosion of this fancy eat?

They got big in the US - a bunch of cooking shows etc, so found their way across the pond.

Basic recipe

50g Self Raising Flour
50g Caster Sugar
1 Egg
1tsp Vanilla Essence

Then basic butter icing to top

That makes half a dozen, costs < £1 each, sell them for £2-£3 each in Central London = Massive Profit from the Fad.

Simples

The price of them is amazing. Theres a place in Bluewater that they are about £3 each, for a frigging cake!

Faddish stupidity, if this can slavishly follow a Yank lead so much the better.

Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

Depends if you're stupid enough to pay such ridiculous prices.

Sophie likes making them, to get as many clashing colours on them as she can.

That should be Vanilla Extract, not essence and I like to think of them as iCakes

If I'm bored on a Sunday while waiting for the dough for bread/rolls/pizza to prove, I throw 2 dozen in the oven and T takes most of them into work - no icing of course cos all the other girls are on diets...
