Cupcake woe

resonantThis is why I hate it when things I like get popular.
Since cupcakes are all trendy now, has anyone noticed how everywhere you go, the world is now full of really, really horrible cupcakes? And I buy them, because when I see something that looks like a cupcake, I crave something that tastes like a cupcake -- but they don't.
The cupcakes at Barnes & Noble Cafe were probably pretty decent when they were fresh, but they've been sitting in the display case for lord only knows how long, looking more beautiful because they're unwrapped, so that when you buy one, the frosting is too hard to bite through. (The cheesecake suffers from a related problem. But I digress.) The cupcakes at Starbucks are just weird, man, I don't know; they taste like they were grown from crystals in a laboratory.
The cupcakes at Kroger are best not spoken of at all.
Looks like I'm going to be forced to make some.

You get a bunch of fixin's & set them out -- cheese and onions and chili and bacon bits and whatever you think might be good on a potato -- and everyone gets their own baked potato and can dress it just how they like!
