"We all have those wonderful food memories from early childhood. I have memories of oh so good cupcakes. The cupcake is the perfect dessert in fact.
Small, easy to transport, and covered with tasty frosting. Better yet, one batch of cupcakes with a multitude of frostings. A veritable pantheon of taste! Ok, let me put down my thesaurus and get down to brass tacks.
I make BAD cupcakes, dry like sawdust bound with egg and butter. I buy good cupcakes made of magical sprinkles and love.
I can make better than what I had today. SADFACE.
This cupcake was dry, so dry in fact that I needed a drink in order to choke down a bite. The flavor was *almost* there. It was like it had been invited to the party, but was late showing up.
The worst part, the frosting was so dry it was crunchy, and it tasted like dirt. Slightly cocoa flavored dirt.
Two of us couldn't finish one tiny little cupcake. We wanted to, it looked good, damn good. No me gusta!"
