In search of the perfect cupcake

I can't get that worked up about comparative cupcakes, but Patricia Jane at Metroblogging Seattle can. She did an excellent review of the cupcakes from New York Cupcakes, Cupcake Royale, and Trophy Cupcakes; you get a good objective sense of each product, as well as her opinion.

Patricia Jane noted that the servers at New York Cupcakes smooshed two cupcakes into a box intended for one, despite her protests. This reminded me of the lovely one-cupcake carrying box I saw on Amazon the other day. It preserves the cupcake's frosting even if you turn it upside down!
