Are we finally over cupcakes? Food bloggers and hipster naysayers have been calling the end of the cupcake trend for years now, and I've always laughed them off. But now? We have actual evidence of the cupcake's imminent demise. Trendy cupcake baker Crumbs Bake Shop says their sales are down by 22 percent. Yikes! A cupcake-industry expert told the Wall Street Journal, "Demand is flat. And quite frankly, people can bake cupcakes." OMG, are cupcake shops going to close? Will the frosting-swirled confections disappear from bakery windows? Will we seriously have to (gulp) bake our own?!?Image may be NSFW.
