I find this story so sweet and charming. While I could date someone who's not into cupcakes (which I'm kindof doing now, though he will eat them if I bring them to him), a cupcake date is always a winner in my book. What do you think? Have you been on cupcake dates? Would you date someone who's not into cupcakes (meaning more for you)?
from the Toronto Star:
Here's a great reason to go out for dessert: It's romantic. You know that ramble, where you walk all afternoon kicking leaves, holding hands (not too much, we don't want to make anyone gag), talking about marriage and kids and home ownership without the distraction of a computer constantly heralding the arrival of another unimportant email.
Toronto is honeycombed with interesting nooks beyond the tree lines of our own backyards. Isn't candy a good enough reason to go exploring?
Native New Yorkers will routinely go for an after-dinner walk and even queue up to buy a $2.50 cupcake at Magnolia bakery, the epicentre of a recent(ish) cupcake trend. These days it has become too touristy for locals.
The Cupcakery, at 1034 St. Clair Ave. W., east of Dufferin St., comes closest in this town to duplicating the product, if not the culture. Their buttercream is lickable and rich without being cloying. They feature a variety of genuine flavours: proper banana cupcakes with banana in the cake mix (though the frosting is flavoured with extract), caramel cupcakes filled with a cavity of slippery, copper bliss. A little farther east, there is a next-level playground fitted with a two-storey web of ropes. It's the perfect spot to spend an hour playing Spider-Man to burn off calories. Just follow Alberta Ave. north, through the parking lot to Glenhurst Ave.
