Cupcake canoodling

Hi, Cecilia. You look happy. What's up with you? You met someone new? Yeah? You met an eclair in the pastry case? I didn't know you went for European types. Aren't the French kind of grim? Sure, he's tall, dark and handsome, but doesn't he seem a little pompous--all fluffed up with filling?

I mean, us cupcakes keep it simple. Cake batter and buttercream on top. You know what you're getting. All-American, hard-working, independently contained in an accordion paper cup. We know our place.

Hmpf. Well, with the glow you're giving off, I really can't criticize. I just remember how that Napolean blew you off and broke your heart. OK, I've gotta roll. Stay sweet.
