All the cupcake places around here have gone out of business. I like cupcakes fine, but I remember thinking back when the trend blew up that it wasn't a very sustainable business model.

Cupcakes are obnoxious. It's just a giant blast of sugar in your face. It's all one note.

Maybe in a big city, sure, but at $3 a pop in a smaller city you might as well go ahead and write "going out of business" on the back of your grand opening sign. There's never going to be enough people to sell to on a daily basis to cover your overhead.

Hey, I liked pixy sticks when I was 12. Then I grew up.

Yea, but there's better ways to get that sugar fix in a dessert. Cheesecakes, creme brulee's, tirimisu, etc etc.

I like tres leches. My problem is that I'm just not much of a sweets person, I guess? I love chocolate, preferably dark, but I don't eat it too much. I feel amazing when I do though! The only sweets that turns me into a monster is ice cream. ALL THE ICE CREAM!

Current fad? Cupcakes were a while back, followed by old school soda jerks and then pie.

Not really sure what the current fad is.

They were the 'artisanal' fad du jour a while back, sure, but now there's whole kiosks in mall food courts dedicated to cupcakes. When did America's demand for cupcakes get high enough to justify this? I assume it's fueled by the gentrifying-Brooklynite type crowd who still play kickball and shit, but they're probably over it and have moved on to artisanal juiceboxes or whatever by now

all these specialty versions of confections have kind of a hard ceiling on how good they can be.   A donut can only be so good, a cupcake can only be so good, cookie can only be so good, etc.  there's more complexity in the ways you can fuck them up than in what you can do to make them better or "gourmet."
