Artful Cupcakes


Besides enjoying the deliciousness of these tasty treats, the designs and patterns of the delicate desserts catch my eye. The intricate frosting and decoration can intrigue any art lover. While at first glance cupcakes may appear to just be pastel pasteries coated with sprinkles, the colorfulness and details of cupcakes inspire me. What makes people obssess over these sweets? From Magnolias to Crumbs, and Buttercup Bake Shop to Alice's Tea Cup, what has provoked the cupcake mania? Cupcakes are a dainty treat - both sophisticated and possessing a quality of childhood. More fun than cookies or ice cream, cupcake shops are becoming the craze across NYC. It's art on a dessert!
