When asked to choose between cake and a cupcake, for me the little cupcake always wins. Why? For starters they are just too cute--especially with candy sprinkles on top or tempting frosting swirls as tall as the cake itself. Plus, they are portable and better yet they even fit nicely in your purse. (Just don't forget the cupcake box.) I know this last reason must be false, but I still believe just one cupcake will never ruin a diet. With a flavor for every mood, who can resist?
Now I have to have just one vanilla with cinnamon sprinkles buttery treat. How did I ever get started on this?
