It’s a small cupcake world, after all.
Posted by cupcake girl on Monday, September 8th, 2008I just had to share a quick funny note and explain just how small this world is when cupcakes are involved.
The other day, one of All Things Cupcake’s contributors wrote a post about an adorable car she saw with the license plate that said CUPCKES.

She randomly found it while driving around and thought it was too cute not to post. Well turns out, the owner of the car and the license plate reads All Things Cupcake and left a comment on the post! She said:
Hey! That’s my car! I check this blog daily and how surprised was I to see my car on it this morning?!? I live in Chandler and am starting my own cupcake business, I even have a blog of my own. I love checking your blog to see what new and fun cupcake ideas are out there. Thanks for the inspiration!

Vanilla Cupcakes w/ Black Cherry Kool-Aid Frosting
Posted by cupcake girl on Saturday, September 6th, 2008Stumbled upon this amazing recipe tonight from Cupcake Rehab (awesome blog), and my mouth instantly began to water. Yum!

A vanilla cupcake with buttercream frosting made with black cherry Kool-Aid. Of course, you could use any of Kool-Aid’s plethora of fake fruit flavors to make any kind of frosting you wanted. Additionally, it can be added to cupcake batter as well. You could even add it to cupcake batter along with chunks of fresh fruit, or do the same with the frosting. Also, it can be sprinkled on top of frosting in place of colored sugar. Oh- the possibilities!! – Cupcake Rehab
CHERRY KOOL-AID FROSTING
Ingredients:
- ½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened
- 4 ½ – 5 cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- .13 oz. packet KOOL-AID Black Cherry Flavor Sugar-Sweetened Soft Drink Mix
- Beat all ingredients with electric mixer on low speed until well blended.
- Use on cooled cupcakes.
- Enjoy!
I was going to use the Amy Sedaris vanilla cupcake recipe, but honestly I just think the Magnolia Bakery recipe is so amazing that I can’t getaway from it. I’ve used the Amy one before and it came out a little dry, so I’ve been meaning to try it again but I’m addicted to Magnolia and cling to it like a crackhead with her pipe.
MAGNOLIA’S FAMOUS VANILLA CUPCAKES
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups self-rising flour
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Line 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake papers.
-
In a small bowl, combine the flours. Set aside.
-
In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, cream the butter until smooth. Add the sugar gradually and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk and vanilla. With each addition, beat until the ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat. Using a rubber spatula, scrape down the batter in the bowl to make sure the ingredients are well blended. Carefully spoon the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about three-quarters full. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center of the cupcake comes out clean.
-
Cool the cupcakes in the tins for 15 minutes. Remove from the tins and cool completely on a wire rack before icing.

Will Cupcakes Be the Next Krispy Kreme?
Posted by cupcake girl on Friday, September 5th, 2008New York City may well be the cupcake capital of America. Magnolia Bakery of Greenwich Village has produced a list of progeny very Old Testament in length: Magnolia begat Billy’s and Buttercup, and Buttercup in turn begat Sugar Sweet Sunshine.
And then there are Crumbs, Cupcake Cafe (which dates to 1988) and Burgers and Cupcakes. Los Angeles appears to be hopping on the cupcake bandwagon , but New York remains the genesis of cupcake awareness. (Los Angeles, however, gave us the yogurt craze with Pinkberry .)
Many of the cupcake shops have started to clone themselves. Magnolia opened a second spot on the Upper West Side in addition to its Village location. It plans a third store in Rockefeller Center this month. Buttercup Bake Shop now has two places on the East and West Sides of Manhattan. Within the last several years, Cupcake Cafe also now has two locations. Even with expansions, these places have retained their boutique appeal.
But Crumbs , which started in 2003 with a single store on the Upper West Side, is expanding more aggressively, with 40 planned stores over the next year and 150 within the next five years. (All self-financed.)
This kind of growth brings to mind the tale of Krispy Kreme , another sweet phenomenon that went national very fast. It, too, offered a nostalgic dessert at premium prices, with lines around the block and fawning press coverage. Krispy Kreme went public in 2000 and was a high-flying stock that confounded analysts with its market appeal , rising even as the dot-com bubble burst.
Krispy Kreme quickly came down to earth, through dilution of the brand and mismanagement . And finally, another indignity — the glazed donuts were transformed into Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburgers .
Mia and Josh Bauer, the couple who opened up Crumbs, see Krispy Kreme as a cautionary tale. “We look at them all the time,” Ms. Bauer said. “We don’t want to make the same mistakes by overexpanding.”
“I was a fanatic when they opened up,” she said. “They pirated themselves by overexpanding and the quality dropped immediately. Their choices were not the greatest. You could get them in the gas stations.”
There are now several Crumbs shops in New York and two in Los Angeles.
“We will expand to places where there is a demand,” Ms. Bauer said. “We want to be very careful and strategic and not to expand too quickly.”
One sign of demand is the large volume of requests that Crumbs gets for shipping. (Last year, it stopped shipping until it could come up with a better process.)
Is there enough demand for premium-priced cupcakes to warrant this much expansion? Or is the cupcake just another food fad? (The Atkins Diet, for example, broadsided Krispy Kreme , though now the Atkins Diet has receded from view.)
Even now, the cupcake appears to be at a tipping point . There are signs of a cupcake backlash — both from schools concerned about childhood obesity and from foodies who can only maintain nostalgia for so long.

me: Could we please get one of every cupcake –
server: To-go, sure.
me: No, all on one plate. For here :)
