"minimalist cupcakes" news and stories

I might be a frosting lover. I might have been the girl who ate frosting out of tupperware for breakfast in high school. But still, sometimes less is more.

The above is a cupcake made by my baking fiend of a friend Monica, who resides over at Nervous Chef and Mis-Adventures in Knitting. She's a crazy gal who isn't a huge fan of frosting, and that led to some more carefully frosted cupcakes recently, like the one above. I'm so used to seeing towering, frosted mountains of cupcakes, so it's nice to get a glimpse of one that takes on a minimalist approach. There's just something about a scattered collection of distinct dots that's charming.

If this picture is making your mouth salivate as well, you can check out the post on the cupcakes here.
