Make cupcakes not war!

Cupcake shoes!
Cupcake backpacks!
Cupcake jewelry!
Giant cupcakes!
Cupcake weddings!
Cupcake clothes!
cupcake perfume!
Baby cupcake beanies!
Cupcake band-aids!
Cupcake tats!

It all started about five years ago.  I had my first internship at one of the many cupcake bakeries cropping up all over the country at the age of fifteen.  Within a year that bakery I worked at expanded to three stores and all were packed with customers.  Different magazines came every weekend to write articles about cupcake weddings, or "The best cupcake in Seattle."  
Now I work at a new bakery that features cupcakes everyday, trying to get their piece of the cupcake craze.  What I wonder, is how much longer is this cupcake stuff going to last?  It's everywhere!  People are eating cupcakes, wearing cupcakes, even tatting themselves with cupcakes!  This food trend has lasted for five years, at some point are people going to get tired of it?  And if they do, what's next! This has been on my mind recently as one of my dreams is to own a bakery of my own, and I would love to hop on the next food trend wagon.  Only time will tell what comes next!

Just for fun, this cupcake related clip always cracks me up.
