Yes, it's true, even more bacon cupcakes for you!

A new food site just launched called The Heavy Table out of the Twin Cities, and it's a food blog you should definitely add to your RSS reader.
They even have a Mardi Gras-themed post up about cupcakes, with a recipe even! Which is totally exciting, except for, well, they had to throw in a little blogger hate:
Everyone who isn’t blogging about bacon is blogging about cupcakes as if life were a long series of emergency PTA bake sales and the Department of Homeland Security has us all in a perpetual state of pastel alert. It’s all just a little too twee.
That's okay, though. I am all about agreeing to disagree.
Lori Writer goes on to say:
So read for yourself and, their issues with cupcake blogs aside, it's a beautiful site and I would so so eat these if someone made them for me! (I could, yeah, make them myself, but that's just not going to happen - I'm the cupcake eater/blogger of this blog, not the baker.)
Big thanks to The Heavy Table contributor and Cupcakes Take the Cake friend Aaron Landry for letting us know about the site (he's made many appearances on this blog, including his cupcake interview, and also introduced me to the wonderful deliciousness that is Sheela Nammakal's Miel y Leche, so we suspect he doesn't share quite the same sentiment about cupcake blogging).

In the spirit of Fat Tuesday, when we use up all of our sugar and butter and flour in feasting on pancakes or king cake before the season of fasting starts on Ash Wednesday, I propose that we use up all of our bacon and sugar in baking Elvis cupcakes: miniature banana and chocolate chip cupcakes with peanut butter frosting, garnished with bacon, then battered, deep fried, and drizzled with honey. That ought to be just enough of a fat, sugar and twee spree to get bacon and cupcakes out of our collective system.
