A Cupcake On Your iPhone
Elizabeth Woyke, 08.06.08, 6:00 AM ET

 With hundreds of applications ranging from games to password-keepers to calorie counters, what’s next for the iPhone?

One firm is betting on virtual cupcakes and Tamagotchi-like digital pets. Viximo, an 11-month-old Cambridge, Mass.-based start-up, has created four iPhone applications that revolve around digital goods–digitally produced images that people buy, exchange and display online.
When the applications debut in September or October, users will be able to exchange digital goods, such as a cupcake to celebrate a birthday or a teddy bear as a get-well gift. Senders will pay anywhere from a few cents to a few dollars for the goods.

Shanna Moakler talks to All Things Cupcake.

Posted by on Saturday, September 13th, 2008

I asked Shanna the other day if she’d be interested in talking with me about cupcakes. Her response, "yes i love cupcakes, red velvet!". I didn’t want to do any ol’ interview. I wanted something quick, fun, and sassy.

So here we go:

Shanna: Red velvet with cream cheese frosting is my FAVORITE!
Me: Red velvet w/ cream cheese is the best. yum.

Me: If you had to choose, would you pick the frosting or the cake?
Shanna: If I had to choose, I would choose to eat the frosting!
Who wouldn’t?

Me: In your opinion, what is the sexiest way to eat a cupcake?
Shanna: The sexiest way to eat a cupcake to me is having equal parts of cake and frosting, so i like using my fingers and getting messy!
Getting messy while eating a cupcake is a must.

Me: If you were stranded on a deserted island with only one cupcake, what flavor would it be?
Shanna: I would pick red velvet.

Me: Mrs Beasley’s or Sprinkles ?
Shanna: I choose mrs beasleys all the way, i like their mini muffins and cupcakes..
Me: I agree!
Shanna: I send their mini muffin baskets to people for holidays and stuff! hehe I personal don’t like sprinkles at all.. too much going on… I like a classic simple cupcake..

And there ya have it folks. Thanks Shanna <3
