Darn you MWY!! *shakes fist*

I would not buy that cupcake. See, they've missed the whole point. Cupcakeology is not about gold dust or recreating a life sized portrait of Elvis on top. And with nods to SW and DGE for my hilarious and aptly themed aquatic birthday cupcakes, :)heart::heart:) intricate fondant does not a delicious cupcake make.

The art of the mini-cake lies almost entirely in the frosting. Specifically, real buttercream frosting that is light, but not too light, and applied...shall we say 'liberally'?

And looking at that photo, that does not even look like a cupcake is supposed to look.

Dust smust. Dubai, you can keep your overpriced, wannabe cakes!

Nevertheless, thank you for my morning smile. :D

Does that make me a bad cupcake consumer because I like to pop them in the freezer and when the frosting is good and hard pluck it off and just eat the cake?:(

:eek::eek:

Don't make me come over there.
 
Edible gold dust?

All I can think of is that the girl would have survived in Goldfinger if that had been around then...and I still wouldn't want to put my lips on that. Milk requirement.

Now, see, you're missing the beauty of a partnership, here. You get the frosting, she gets the cake. Sympatico! ;)

I prefer a high cake:frosting ratio, myself. I'm always looking for someone to take my extra 'frosting burden' away. (One of the reasons I spawned. LOL)

I think more cupcakes are ruined by bad frosting than by bad cake, though a soulless batter can be terrible. Our Target makes good carrot cake cupcakes, but the frosting has something godawful bitter in it. I have to consider it a public service, otherwise I'd buy them way too often.

Ok, I get it. I agree that taste over presentation wins every time for me too. Frosting is important, yes...but so is the cake as it needs to be fluffy and moist as well. But that said, I had this vanilla caramel filled espresso butter cream frosted dark chocolate cupcake that was absolutely divine...and it would not have been near as knee wobbling good without its gooey drippy center. So sometimes for me, it is about the filling too.

As to the OP...I think it is a beauty of course, but I wouldn't order it either. I would rather build much more diverse menu of deliciousness with that $1000 instead. Mmmm.

That reminds me... I'm hungry.
 
As the OP, I don't think the rules allow me to win the thread. However, I thought I'd let you know that I'll gladly lick your frosting any day.

Duly noted. ;)

Foo foo, not fondant. <3

OK, no offense, Licia, but it took me well over a year to become even vaguely fluent in Netzachese. I have a finite number of brain cells that seem to dwindle every day, so I lack the skill to decipher many of your posts.

Are you angry at fondant?

Are you correcting my use of the word 'fondant'?

Is this a "make love not war" type protest slogan?

Is this the name of a Foo Fighters spin off band?

Please translate and, in the future, have pity on those of us who do not live in your brain.

Thanks!

OK, I'll concede that a nice moist cake takes a cupcake from "excellent" to "cupgasm". And filling? Oh baby!

Stop...just stop.

Wow. I couldn't just stop short of cupgasm! That would be... frustrating.

Come to think about it, to get the perfect bite, you really need to get a nice balance of filling, frosting, and cake as well....so if ratio is also in play, then size is important too... don't you think?

Can't... stop...
 
Should icing a hymn?

*groan*

Bad CC! Bad!


And by 'bad', I mean good. If you know what I mean?

A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest women.



Careful. More of that and I'll call you a "subbie." :D

Foo Foo: made up word for icing. Sorry, family quip.

Fondant: Cake Boss equals fun.

Mom refuses to learn about fondant. *shrugs*

DGE is mostly correct. :cattail:

Does that confectionery mail order?

Quoted for truth. My first thought when I saw the price tag was "but how much did it cost to get to the $1,000.00 dessert course?" Cuz you know it's not a six dollar burger joint. Or even a 20 dollar burger joint.

DGE, ahem, you know how I feel about nonsense, frivolity and mirth. Not to mention relish.

I once snort-laughed while eating a hot dog. Do you have any idea how painful it is to get relish chunks up your nose? DO YOU??!!

Careful. More of that and I'll call you a "subbie." :D

Fiend.

*takes DGE off Xmas card list*

Agreed. That's totally wrong.

I agree with you on the buttercream but I'm not sure I like mine light. :eek: I like it seriously, disgustingly sweet.

Ah, I should clarify. By "light" I mean texture. The cupcake I had in Auckland had frosting that was almost rock hard. I have vowed not to visit Auckland again until they address this issue.

Disgustingly sweet...check!

Gracias. I am inputting this information into my Litionary.

I am not that opaque.

I don't think.

You are as clear as the Thames, Netz.

;)

But seriously, your language is beautiful. Don't ever change. I've come to enjoy deciphering some of the Netzisms. It's like a linguistic Rubik's Cube.
