Almost everything has an element of “cool” to it, whether it’s which shoes we buy, how we cut our hair, or what style of clothes we wear. Yes, cupcakes are a trend right now (ironically found your blog by searching for a cupcake pic!) and yes they are great, but it sounds like you don’t really want to eat one- you just want the ability to eat one. It’s kind of like looking at a luxury item in a store. Most of us can’t afford a $900 purse, but I bet a lot of us would like to be able to! Would we buy it? Who knows! The point is that it’s about ability. I think a great way to move past this cupcake thing would be to invite some friends over and make some yourself. If you really want them, they’ll taste great and be even more fun because you’ve made and decorated them with your buddies. If not, guess you didn’t want that cupcake that badly after all!! Hope this helps! p.s. my blog is similar to this- you might want to check out my post on emotions and eating. It covers a bit of this….

Actully the pink "curly stuff" as you called isn't just white chocolate dyed pink, its strawberry chocolate curls. Its very commonly use in cake decorating now adays, you can also get banana ( yellow curly stuff), mint (greeb curly stuff) red (cherry curly stuff) among other common flavours.

The pink stuff is white chocolate dyed with pink food colouring.

Have you ever been to Backer's Bakery on North Temple in SLC? That's where the designer cupcakes are! They're just about as beatiful as your pink cupcake above, but they've been around since my mom was a kid in the 50s. Give them a try!

I want ice cream now that it's harder to get.

I lost a lot of weight on cupcakes. I made them lighter and kept leftovers unfrosted in the freezer. Portion control has always been an issue. To me a cake is one serving. I'd make full fat icing for hubby. I'd eat it plain or use cool whip and pudding mix for icing.
