How do you eat a cupcake?

Cafe Society

It’s too tall to take a top-to-bottom bite, and for any other approach, there’s virtually no way to ensure you get a proper cake-to-icing ratio.

Or am I missing something?

2

One of those “right way to eat foods” click-bait lists has the person cutting the cake part in half and making a sandwich out of it. I would never bother to do that myself.

3

Yeah. I don’t often eat big iced cupcakes, but I’d probably start on the bottom, and alternate those bites with little nibbles from the edge of the top. Then, try to end up with the center of the iced top?

Fork

5

This is how I do it. Except instead of cutting, I just rip it in half and slap the bottom on top of the icing.

6

Say what now? The cupcakes I remember getting at bake sales and picnics and class parties in elementary school weren’t too tall to take a top-to-bottom bite.

Or maybe I just have a big mouth…

  1. Scrape off 90-95% of icing.
  2. Place cupcake in bowl.
  3. Scoop ice cream into bowl with cake.
  4. Eat with spoon.
8

Me too. My family thinks I’m a freak. But I don’t get icing in my mustache.

9

Pop the top, eat the stump, donate frosting.

10

Break off bottom, throw away. Eat top and delicious icing.

Wait, they aren’t just delicious icing conveyance methods?

11

You two need to team up.

12

Passionately.

13

Open wide and chomp! What else.

You might get icing on your face but that’s the risk of cupcake eating.

14

You, sir, have the boorish manners of a Yalie!

15

exactly.

16

Same way I eat muffins. Rip the bottom off and suffer through it. Reward self with top half. Repeat 6 times. Spend rest of evening crying and clutching college jeans.

17

I lick all of the frosting off, then enjoy the cupcake.

I’m not a fan of frosting, but I can usually tolerate the amount that’s on a cupcake.

18

Agreed. Please pass your unwanted frosting this way.

I also love the corner of the cake where there’s frosting on TWO sides.

It’s a good thing that I only have cake once a month, when the workplace birthday celebration happens.

19

Cram entire cupcake into cupcake eating hole.

  1. FROSTING

  2. I’ve got a big mouth and I’m not dainty. Ya cram it in there, is all.
