Speaking of cupcakes ...

I am, unabashedly, an NPR-fiend. This evening, I was streaming Weekend Edition: Sunday, and Bonny Wolf had a story predicting that the popularity of the cupcake will, in fact, be usurped by none other than the pie (read/listen to the story here ).

I, for one, do not think the pie stands any sort of a chance until it can be topped with different colored icing, sprinkles, and other like candies.


Really, how could this (no matter how tasty)

ever beat this ?



Plus, a pie is big and constrained to one single design. Cupcakes are dainty, small, and one batch can be decorated in a plethora of ways. Clearly, I'm not giving up on the cupcake. What are your thoughts?

    My thoughts are that Bonny is crazy!!! You should have called in and debated with her haha :) You have excellent reasons why pies will not win. It may be childish, but the pretty colors and sprinkles make me so happy!!! Plus, sometimes pies are SLIGHTLY healthy- and I'm not going for health when I'm eating dessert. More sugar for me, please :)
