As aesthetically pleasing as a tall, decorative swirl of hearty buttercream looks atop a cupcake, several considerations are at play. Is the crumb of the cake substantial enough that the cupcake itself isn't top-heavy? You cannot simply rely on a foil liner to prevent the little dolt from flopping over. When you take a bite into dense frosting, you will find yourself underwhelmed by the base sponge. The whole experience is ruined!!! The simple truth of the matter is that you NEED a denser, richer cake base for tall frosting-toppers for both weight distribution and a cohesive textural experience. And if we're getting extremely controversial today, some of you are getting a little too gung-ho and WAY overfrosting your cupcakes. You can overfrost a cake for aesthetic purposes because you eat the slice with a fork, and can portion out your sponge-to-filling-to-frosting ratio with each bite. It is amateurish, but it's less of a hate crime. But when you are unwrapping a cupcake, and the swirl atop is plumb tall as your dadgum nose, HOW are you supposed to eat it? If you need a fork to attack what is meant to be a simple handheld treat, you have failed in its assembly and should be ashamed. Ok, my receptionist is telling me not to use the word ashamed. You have failed in its assembly and... I am very disappointed in you.
Miss Crocker, your opinions are as delectable to devour as your confectionary goods. Signed, an appreciator of all things saccharine.
I don't bake, but I resonate with this.
You continue to have good opinions. Why are you homeless right now.
I've been told to rephrase my inquiry to sound more sensitive to your predicament. What happened to make you homeless right now.
Something to do with a jolly, green giant and his penchant for technicolour pyrotechnics. I'm in the midst of coming to an agreement that will hopefully remedy this unfortunate state of circumstances. But, thank you for your consideration nevertheless.
Not ideal. I'm familiar with the tactic. Errr. Right. Well, bully for you. I'd have offered to put you up somewhere, but at this point I never know which if you is off-planet and which are actually within my range of aid.
No, not terribly. Worry not, however. Whilst your generosity will surely one day earn you the gratitude of all those you have offered such extensions towards, I've got my business covered. P.S. The Super Moist French Vanilla mix is my favorite.
... Yes, it seems you do. :B Your business and your taste. Feel free to keep me posted directly on your progress.
Sometimes you just hate to see someone bastardizing the purity of one's craft as a quick attention-grab.
