One of the most ridiculous trends of the past decade. Anyone who couldn't see this coming is an idiot.
I mean, "Gourmet cupcakes"? Give me a break. Even the name is essentially paradoxical. There's nothing gourmet about a fucking cupcake. It's just a giant sugar bomb. What kind of idiot pays $4 for a cupcake?
Oh, well, there's the answer: the same braindead women who dull their minds with hours of shitty television every day.
I truly believe that there is nothing that you couldn't turn into a trend among women if you simply got it into enough popular media, because the female mind is incapable of objective judgment of anything. The only way a woman is equipped to judge the relative value of something is by determining how popular it is with other women.
This is the underlying reason that status (or the appearance of status) trumps everything for attracting women. A woman simply has no way of objectively determining the value of a man in the same way that a man can objectively value a woman based on her looks, so she looks for external clues: how he behaves, how he is dressed, how other women treat him, etc... Essentially, the woman judges the position of the man in the world, rather than the man himself.
Perhaps millions of years of evolution have honed the female brain to carefully analyze men for status in this manner, to the extent that they have lost the ability to objectively judge anything on its own merits.
It would certainly go a long way toward explaining how the fuck gourmet cupcakes ever became popular.

Demand for gourmet cupcakes exploded in the early 2000s after Magnolia Bakery, another popular New York cupcake chain, was featured in the HBO series "Sex and the City." The sweet treats have since become central characters in TV shows like the Food Network's "Cupcake Wars" and TLC's "DC Cupcakes."
