Giant cupcake alert! La Provence Patisserie and Cafe in Beverly Hills and Brentwood Gardens, Los Angeles, sells this giant cupcake that Variety blog The Knife posted about yesterday:

Here's what The Knife says:
This came courtesy of La Provence in Beverly Hills, eager to promote their HUGE HONKING CUPCAKES (Discovered! The bakery treat that frightens small children!) for Valentine's Day in particular. Even for cupcake burnouts like myself, it was impressive: Buttercream icing that tastes like chocolate and butter instead of powdered sugar. And while it's a French bakery, the chocolate cake was moist and crumbly-dense like a class-A Duncan Hines.
As Yumsugar puts it: "If you've ever dreamed of eating cupcakes the size of your face, then you are in luck."
Here's some other cupcake photos from La Provence:
Red velvet
Chocolate chocolate cream cheese

And some assorted ones:
This is what they sell by way of regular cupcakes:
1. Velvety chocolate cake with vanilla cream cheese frosting.
2. Real southern buttermilk Red Velvet.
3. Coconut chiffon cake with coconut frosting.
4. Vanilla bean cake with vanilla frosting.
5. Velvety chocolate with chocolate ganache frosting.
