10 Crazy Cupcakes for National Cupcake Day
Happy National Cupcake Day!
Today is National Cupcake Day, (yes, it’s a real holiday, though shouldn’t every day be cupcake day?) so to celebrate, I wanted to share some of the hundreds of cupcakes I’ve witnessed, eaten and ogled over the years. In the ten years since I started Cupcakes Take the Cake, cupcakes have grown from a homespun treat to a big business to works of modern art. They are everywhere, and there are endless variations in flavor, style and presentation. I’ve eaten cupcakes in 4 countries and over half of the United States (my goal is to eat one in every state!). I’ve seen cupcake eating contests, cupcake cakes, gotten a cupcake out of a cupcake ATM, tried cupcake “burgers” and kebabs, and even witnessed someone put Sriracha on a cupcake, and like it! Here are some of my favorites…
Space Needle cupcake (by a CupcakeCamp Seattle contestant)
Glee cupcake by Cupcake at Mall of America
Crocs cupcake made by Georgetown Cupcake
Grasshopper cupcake (I actually ate this as part of judging a cupcake contest!)
Donut cupcake by GI Cakes
Edible jewel cupcake by Magnolia Bakery
