"It's not a big deal. It's not going to make me a cupcake addict. In fact, it could be helpful. It might push me off sweets for a while."

The cupcake fad had to be the most boring fad in the history of fads.
When I first heard about it, I was like, "Really, 21st century? This is the best you can do, fad-wise? Cupcakes?"
I use the past tense because cupcakes are SO OVER.
Would a macaron contest suit you better?
I prefer "Cupcake" as a pet name.
My cupcake! My cupcake tastes good, but I'm scared about my cupcake.
(that's an ugly cupcake)
I'll just be over here, enjoying my fruit tart you heathens.
Next fad: gourmet fruit rollups..
I am judging the event making sure the contestants swallow every last crumb.
Call me when there is a muffin top eating contest.
