"To trio from New York, cupcakes are everything"
On cupcakestakethecake.blogspot.com, updated daily, you can find up-to-date appearances of cupcakes in pop culture, news about bakery openings and, sometimes, just pretty pictures.
Along the side there's a quiz to find out how you eat your cupcakes. You can also find a listing of cupcake bakeries in your neck of the woods and news stories about cupcakes.
With every post containing at least one image of a cupcake, the site is certainly pretty. It's also organized well and almost makes you believe it's a cupcake's world and we're just living in it.
"The economy's no big worry to 11-year-old entrepreneur," The Charlotte Observer
Attention all you panicking about the economy. You don't have the intestinal fortitude of an 11-year-old. The Chamber just signed up Daijua Corin, age 11 and proprietor of Vela Delight custom cupcakes. Legally, the company is owned by mom Lanelle Miller. But Daijua runs it -- keeping up with the recipes and baking those cupcakes. (And not in an Easy-Bake Oven, either.) Earnings cannot be disclosed, but she sells about 50 cupcakes a week. Asked if she feels any concern about the economy, Daijua replied: "I don't feel any pressure." So why are you worried, cupcake? www.veladelight.com.

"A win is icing on the cake"
CUPCAKES were the main course yesterday at the annual schools' Cupcake Cook-off Championship. Delicacies from floral friands to tasty traditional frosted cakes were on display at hospitality institute William Angliss.
More than 300 secondary school students from around the state painstakingly baked and decorated more than 1200 tasty treats.
"Most students baked and decorated their cupcakes on Wednesday or came into school very early on Thursday morning," William Angliss spokeswoman Yvonne Nicolas said.
Judges picked two winners to receive a $450 culinary career starter pack and trophy: Rhys Thomas, from Huntington Tower school, for best individual cupcake and Maddie Biondi, from St Margaret's School, for the best creative cupcake. Northcote High won for best overall school effort.
Express endorses Georgetown Cupcake:
THE OPENING OF THE NEW SWEETSHOP Georgetown Cupcake confirms that pint-size treats are here to stay. In the new shop, 12 flavors are baked up daily, including a dizzying array of chocolate plus hazelnut, coconut, banana or swirl. Cupcakes are $2.75 each, $29 per dozen.
