around $3.75 for a
piece of the cake piled high with a frosting lover's dream of whipped sugar, butter and a bright burst of color. I've tried one gourmet brand in Franklin I really don't care to waste the calories on, but I'm dying to try The Cupcake Collection in German Town. The story alone, of a whole family making a dream job come true is worth the trip. Check out their story at http://www.nashvillescene.com/2009-02-26/news/the-sweet-spot (Scroll all the way down. The story is hidden.) I'm also a big fan of Whole Foods beautifully decorated creations. Anyone who knows me well knows that I crave cupcakes like Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt crave attention. I once had a Vanilla Cupcake scented Yankee Candle I had to shove into the bottom desk drawer. When burning, the aroma caused me 1 am trips to the 24-hour Kroger while studying for exams in college; resulting in a few unwanted pounds. The temptation of cupcakes is something I can't deny. Cupcakes over Cake at my wedding someday? Maybe. Until then, I can depend on fluffy cake piled high with rich frosting most anywhere, thanks to their ever growing popularity. And to all of those commoners that snubbed the French Queen's remark, I can say, "Yes, Marie, I will gladly eat cake."
