Hey there, cupcake

I'm pondering the cupcake shop craze. They're popping up all over the place around the NY/NJ area. Did people JUST realize that cupcakes are awesome? Or were the bakeries just trying to force people to purchase full-size cakes all these years? Hmm.

These cupcake places are selling their wares for somewhere between $2.50 and $4.00 a pop. It costs less than that to make 2 dozen at home. And yeah, they're tasty, but really? $4 for a cupcake? Damn, we're suckers.
