Cupcakes are stupid and ill-constructed!

Are cupcakes stupid and ill-constructed?  Josh Ozersky thinks so.  With Crumbs making headlines lately, everyone seems to have an opinion about the cupcake industry.

What do you think of Ozersky's solution to the cupcake?

I eat my cupcakes like that all the time!

I would love for cupcakes to be filled on the inside with frosting -- as well as on top! (I am a hardcore frosting junkie. I'd shoot it in my veins if I could. ;))

hahah he tries to sound oh-so-intelligent yet is baffled by cupcake construction. its not that hard honey, you can use a fork and a knife.

What he described sounds like a whoopie pie to me, also delicious, but just not on the same level as a cupcake! Maybe he should buy some utensils to solve suuuuch a dilemma (as Cathryn also said)...or, just shave that problematic beard. And I'm with Kate..fill the middle and the top!

This is what I posted on his site after watching his stupid and ill-constructed vlog...
First of all, shave! Facial hair in 2011 is way farther past its prime than cupcakes. Secondly, get over it! In this day and age of recession, job loss, and general doom and gloom, if a small overly frosted (in your opinion) dessert makes people happy, if even for a matter of minutes, who are you to criticize? Wait… I get it! Like FB and Crumbs going public, you are just mad you didn’t think of it first! VIVA La CUPCAKE! Carpe Cupcake! Stop “hating” on the small ways Joe Public finds his little bit of sunshine.

Hehehehehe, I feel like such a rebel, but he seriously needs a time out or a hug. I just wish we had as an amazing array of cupcake bakeries in my neck of the woods as some of your cities! Come on Greensboro, mama needs her wonderfully constructed cupcakes!

No way! Cupcakes are perfect just the way they are!

How can anyone be cynical about cupcakes? We're talking about happy miniature cakes! Furthermore, does he think he invented this manner of eating cupcakes? No, that would make him clever. I saw that on an episode of Cake Boss, y'all.

What a jerk! He doesn't know what he is talking about. Cupcakes are awesome!!!
This was my comment:

I really don't understand the cupcake hatred thing. You don't HAVE to eat them and if they bring happiness to people, what's wrong with them?

They're not 'stupid and ill-constructed,' they taste good and they look good. I do agree some places put too much frosting on and it becomes overpowering but they're not all like that. And you're solution is 'stupid,' you do turn it upside down and you can't personalise it. The thing I love about cupcakes is that they're like little works of art. I would say I am a cake artist, I don't just make cakes that taste good, I make them aesthetically beautiful/fun etc.

But hey, that's just me. I'm not going to hold it against people who don't like cupcakes, so why should people hold it against those that love them?

That guy has given way too much thought into how to eat a cupcake. lol

I have another solution for him-- how about he shaves his beard.

Sandwiching the frosting takes the fun out of cupcakes~
