So once upon a time
there was a joint called Cupcake Cafe. They had two locations, and
then the shop that sat practically in the lobby of the Port Authority
closed. Not being a big fan of the cupcake, I wasn't really familiar
with the joint, but people were sad. So sad they drowned their sorrows
in Cinnabons, Dunkin' Donuts and Chocodiles—anything to replace
their beloved frosted cakes. But nothing did the trick. And then came
this re-opening of the Hell's Kitchen location--sort of. It's like
when they replaced Dick York with Dick Sargent with on Bewitched.
You were like, what the hell is going on here? How did they find two
completely ineffectual actors who looked so much alike? I guess a
dick's a dick's a dick. So basically Cupcake Cafe re-opened, but in
the shared space with something that seems to be nothing but a space
to house their cupcakes and some coffee. Well, whatever the case,
I still feel cupcakes should be reserved for children's birthday parties.
Just like adults shouldn't be drinking grape soda or reading comic
books, adults shouldn't really go out of their way to eat cupcakes--it
just seems weird. In the case of these cupcakes, I don't really get
what the big deal is anyway. There's way too much frosting, and it's
overly sweet and not particularly fresh-tasting. I never got the whole
Krispy Kreme thing either, so maybe I'm just not a pastry dude. In
any case, if forced to eat a cupcake, I tend to think that the ones
from a box (the kind you'd actually find at a kids' party) are actually
as good as it gets. [MF]
