Rubik's cube cupcake and cupcake shape query

From Flickr user Anita Jamal

I think this one is gorgeous but I must say, square or rectangle cupcakes throw me off. Their shape seems to defy the state of being a cupcake. What do you guys think? Do cupcakes need to be the traditional circular shape to count as a cupcake?

It looks like the cupcake is actually round, it just has a cube on top. That works for me!

Actually, it's not a square cupcake.
The rubik's cube is on top of a regular cupcake.

But I do agree, square, rectangle, or any other shape other than a cupcake in a paper thing, I consider to be mini-cakes and not cupcakes.
