cupcakes

Rachel Kramer Bussel runs an entire blog just about cupcakes. I haven't had a cupcake in maybe a decade, so I stopped and got one to see what the fuss was about. It wasn't really an erotic experience, but it was, in fact, strangely satisfying. I feel like I won't need to eat for a day or two.

There's something satisfying about a libertinous snack that still has built-in portion control. There's a quantum of cupcake.

This particular cupcake, obtained from a nearby East Harlem bakery, was likely a half-day old, and its frosting had hardened a bit, as if cake had decided to wear a helmet.
