Our Cupcake Obsession

Seattlest recieved an e-mail recently, pointing us to an article in the Village Voice about sensuality and food. In the article, one person mentioned about how they believe that cupcakes are a "sexy food."

Now we're not one to cast judgment...ahem...okay, we are ones to cast judgment. Cupcakes are sexual? Really?

To each their own, we suppose, but to us, cupcakes bring forth memories of our youth. We remember all the different ways that we could eat the delicious treats: Licking off the frosting before indulging in the cake; taking the wrapper off and eating from the bottom up, saving the sweetened frosting for last; sometimes we even used a fork, especially when said cupcake came from an easy bake oven. No matter which way we ate the darn things, we always seemed to get an exasperated look from our parents, signaling to us that eating cupcakes is as much about playing with your food as it is about eating it.

Which brings Seattlest to Cupcake Royale (Warning: Flash only site). These are people who understand that cupcakes bring out the child in us. Heck, they even state that not only are their ingredients fresh, but they're "Mom approved."
