A Cupcake Economy

Earlier this month I went to New York for the weekend. Somewhere in New Jersey, I received an email from a friend linking to a Wall Street Journal blog that reported cupcakes were a key driver in the New York's recent growth. I spent the next two hours thinking about cupcakes. As a result, I went on a cupcake photo shoot when I finally made it to Crumbs.

There were ginormous cupcakes...

celebrity theme cupcakes-of-the-month...

Girl Scout cupcakes...

and the best cupcake of all - chocolate coconut.

Hey, I'm just trying to support the New York economy.
