How often do you eat cupcakes?
A few times a month.
What's the best thing about eating cupcakes?
They are the perfect bite size treat. Well, I eat them in one bite.
What's your favorite type of cupcake?
I LOVE Magnolia when they first come out of the oven but if you wait more than an hour the icing becomes rock solid. My all time favorite though is always the Duncan Hines chocolate with vanilla frosting OR vanilla cake with chocolate frosting and then sprinkles of some sort.
How do cupcakes compare/contrast to other baked goods for you?
Cupcakes are usually cheaper to buy, and more tasty. Also you can eat them with your hands while with a nice slice of cheesecake you are looked down upon if you were to shovel it into your mouth like a fat ape.
Is there any innovation you'd like to see made to the cupcake that would
improve it for you?
I have really gotten into red velvet cupcakes. I feel that in my childhood these sorts of cupcakes were nowhere to be found and now you can get just about anything.
Do you bake your own cupcakes? Or (even better) have someone who bakes
them for you?
I have but not recently. My dear friend and comedy partner Brandy Barber makes them all the time, and then I reap all the
benefits.
What's your first cupcake-related memory?
In 1st grade we had a bake sale at my school and I remember this one girl's mom baked these delicious cupcakes. My mom? She tore open a box of Entenmanns Chocolate Chip cookies and put them on a cake plate. She was the hero to the other kids, but this other mother was mine. But just for that one moment.
What's the most fun you've ever had with a cupcake?
I once got a wee too frisky with the batter and an old boyfriend.
Do you have anything else to add?
I think it's amazing that you devote an entire blog to cupcakes. Now every time I buy one, eat one, make one, I will forever think of you!
