There’s more then meets the eye with these    that are really, uh, cupcakes. These neat meaty-looking cupcake nuggets are among the many experimental cupcake recipes that food blogger Stef serves up on her Cupcake Project blog and are really “cupcake pieces breaded with cupcakes and then deep fried”. Fried cupcakes? Apparently the taste is like “doughnuts with crispy, sweet exteriors”. Best served with imitation BBQ sauce, like raspberry jam.

And in case you forget, they will remind you: ‘Life is way too short not to laugh and eat cupcakes‘.

Earlier this week we featured a new cupcake vending machine to be unveiled soon in New York. Well, this news takes the cake. An American company called Vapotrim has invented a ‘diet-aid’ dessert-flavored inhaler, which produces a sensation of fullness when you inhale from it. Flavours include strawberry shortcake, blueberry muffin, maple pancakes, and yes, you guessed it, vanilla cupcake.

If you’re struggling to fulfill your five-a-day vegetable quota, Petit Pois is here to help. Just reach for one of their cupcakes. These charming beauties are, surprisingly, chock full of veggies. In fact, more than half of the ingredients in these tasty cakes are vegetables, from pumpkin to zucchini to beetroot.

Free-range eggs, cocoa, and vanilla bean are also added, to create scrumptious flavors like lemon and orange, or the classic vanilla and chocolate. The brainchild of Ashley Maddox — also known as the marketing wiz behind the Bono’s (RED) campaign, for one – and Harry Eastwood, of the UK’s Channel 4’s Cook Yourself Thin fame, these vege cakes are cleverly wrapped up in playful, bright packaging. And better yet, their lactose and gluten free and under 175 calories each. So if you’re looking for a cupcake without the guilt, you may do well to look no further than Petit Pois — and count it as your apple a day.

Let’s face it: sometimes, you just need a cupcake. If the urge tends to strike at inopportune moments — when you’re stuck in six o’clock traffic, in the middle of a long-haul flight, or 20th in line at the post office, say — you might consider stocking up on some Cupcakes in a Jar, an ingenious new treat from London’s G Desserts.

Eminently portable, these little goodies come in lip-licking flavors like red velvet, lemon passion, and chocolate nutter, and they’re even topped with a double-helping of extra creamy icing. Toss one in your bag for the next time a cupcake craving catches you off guard. These little treats are guaranteed to hit the spot.

Just when we thought the whole cupcake craze was starting to fizzle, along comes high-end shoe designer Patrick Cox with a rad new take on the scrumptious little treats. While soccer moms and sorority sisters might flock to New York’s pastel-hued Magnolia Bakery to satisfy their cupcake cravings, Cox Cookies & Cakes in London’s chicer-than-thou Soho District is the destination of choice for hipsters, fashionistas and film industry types.

In his sleek new digs on Brewer Street, Cox serves up decadent goodies inspired by Salvador Dalí and Andy Warhol (think big red lips and Marilyn Monroe). And get ready for a lot of black and neon. “I want it to be a very sensual experience when you walk in’, Cox told GQ Magazine recently. ‘I think it should be somewhere between a disco, a sex shop and a cake shop’. Sex shop meets cupcakes? Nope, haven’t seen that one before.

So you think you’re all cupcaked-out? Had enough of the trend, eh? Well get ready for more because at American Cupcake, their red velvet is all the rage – on fried chicken, that is. Yup, at this San Francisco-based eatery, chicken is marinated in red velvet cupcake batter (um, YUM), dredged in red velvet cupcake crumbs, and then deep fried. (We understand if you need to re-read that sentence.) But wait, there’s more!

Given that red velvet cupcakes are traditionally smothered in that luscious tangy yet sweet cream cheese icing, American Cupcake thought it apropos to pair their crimson fried chicken with some cream cheese garlic mashed potatoes. Though we can’t attest to how tasty – or not – this savory sweet sensation is, word on the street is that on its first day on the menu, it sold out within an hour – and you thought cupcakes were over.
