• It's the cupcake container of the future, folks. The *future*. And it's pretty clever.
• Let me get this straight: I need a lunchbox, a banana holder, and now a cupcake holder? I think I might stay at home, instead.
• And I'd like to see the industrial testing of this product: drop it off a bridge, or out of an aeroplane...
• Amidst the nanotech, monowire, and neon it's nice to know the gritty cyberpunk future has room for cupcakes.
• i was especially impressed with the protrusions. i'd like to go on the record as being very pro-protrusion.
• Me too. Particularly if the protrusions were extruded. Extruded protrusions.
• The Cup-a-Cake, by making it possible to transport frosted cupcakes, will improve lunches and snacktimes for everyone, thus improving people's moods and outlooks overall. Productivity will increase, domestic violence will decrease. Meetings between the world's superpowers will be made more lighthearted due to the presence of fresh, tidy, frosted cupcakes. This invention may very well save the world.
• CUP-A-CAKE, LLC, Detroit, MI 48225 Thus confirming that it stores auto parts and crack!
• That is absolutely brilliant. Can someone link the thread(s) where these monkeys announced their departures?
• christophine and path both departed via the pro-ana thread; bees said a very short goodbye in bashi's blog.
• oh and BTW... Variable sizes will be available in the future to hold oversized cupcakes and muffins. whew! thank goodness.
• It looks like a sarcophagus for a little cake mummy...
• I doesn't have the instant appeal of a banana guard though. And is also less of a conversation piece...
• Or like an iron maiden for naughty cupcakes.... I wonder if it would hold those crazy hallucogenic cupcakes from "Young Sherlock Holmes" (I love that movie)
• Bashi? Pro-ana? Huh? What? What are those things? ... I'll repeat Smallish Bear's request and seek more info beyond what SideDish provided: Can someone link the thread(s) where these monkeys announced their departures? Thanks.
• Nein! You vill return to your cell at once! Mach schnell!
• Wow -- "designed and patented by mothers"! What will those crafty mothers think of next?!? And that web page is retro cool.
• here's where christophine bowed out. and where path left. and beloved bees said goodbye in these comments.
• IF YOU CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE EACH EPISODE DON'T WATCH THE SOAP OPERA GODDAMIT!11!
• AND PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO WRITE MEANINGFUL SENTENCES FERCHRISTSAKE!!1!
• at least we still have quid.
• The CUP-A-QUIDNUNC! (My brain is all strange today. I think my lunch was poisoned)
• Toothpicks and saran-wrap do the trick just fine. I have no idea if that comment refers to cupcakes or departing members.
• Keeping MOFI members in place with toothpicks and saran wrap sounds like a pretty good idea.
• I think it's something in the air or the water. Between stuff here and at Mefi, something's strange is going on.
• *glues quidnunc's shoes to the floor*
• I'd really like to see a Cup-a-Quid.
• I think it's something in the air or the water. Actually, Jim Jones, it's probably something in the Kool-Aid. Oh, and welcome.
• Was it something I said? Do I smell? What? What???
• What exactly is a cupcake?
• *sniff* You smell okay to me, surlyboi. Of course, I'm smelling you through my computer
• Plegmund - no matter what any (probably insane) people tell you, it is not a muffin. Totally different batter, and thus texture/flavour, even between a chocolate muffin and a chocolate cup-cake. It is the same batter as a cake, only baked in a muffin tin, and then iced. It's a like having your own little personal cake. It's also more fragile than a muffin (due to being a more delicate batter).
• Plegmund, behold the Cupcake of Doom
• Cupcake pony!
• monster cupcake!
• For kids!
• Thanks for the elucidation. More or less like what I would probably call a fairy cake, then. I've come across the word before, of course, but never been clear what kind of a cake it was - I sort of imagined something actually made in a tea-cup.
• *is very jealous that meredithea got to smell surlyboi*
• Well...not really.
• Beeswacky left?!? what the-?! /catching up to what's going on. like an iron maiden for naughty cupcakes.... Hmm, you know, I've half a mind to get some of these here cup-a-cakes and transforming them into such pint-size bundles of faux medieval torture joy. And Path left too?!? /aftershock
• I've been wanting for quite a long time now some of those little tiny cupcake-sized Bundt pans. Tiny Bundt cakes, personally sized. Will they be making a cup-a-cake specifically for the Bundt? They sit the other way, see, with the big end down and the little end up...
• clf - you mean like this?
• Those cupcakes with their tiny tufts of frosting make me want to cry. I want gobs! That said, I wonder if two of these things will fit in my lunchbox if I still take my Cup 'o' Noodles.
• Sure, Hotcakes, right next to your Cup o' Fish
• oh god mickey it's... it's.... Bundtlette!!! truly it is, really really
• I so desperately want to make cup o'fish now. If I do, I'll take pictures.
• Plegmund, there is at least one woman who makes cakes in coffee mugs (not tea cups, but...). I saw her on TV (Food Network, is there nothing you don't know about food?).
• Now I want a chocolate bundtlette cake.
• me too, mct! They're so cute!
• The Cup-A-Cake reminds me of a similar product I once impulse bought - a chip stacker container for Pringles that's curved the same way as the chips. I don't think I ever used it. But I swear I would use a pop tart case. there is at least one woman who makes cakes in coffee mugs I've also head of cakes made using tin soup cans that have had both the top and bottom cut out. I might try it because I don't have and don't want muffin molds.
• pop tart case! dizzy would have loved it! for the noobs, dizzy was a pop tart-happy former monkey, RIP
• The Pop-Tart case looks to be the perfect thing for giggly potheads to store their doobage in. Not that I have a problem with that.
• I bought one of those Pringle holders, too. I think I used it twice. It got weird and greasy, and made me think too hard about the content of Pringles, so I threw it away.
• ... come to think of it, I don't eat nearly as many Pringles, either.
• Don't pringles come in a very good container to begin with?
• That's true, and it seems that those tall cylindrical containers feature in various craft/antenna construction projects. The curved chip stacker I picked up at a local drugstore is much smaller, probably intended for a single serving, though it looks like it could also be used as a Dove soap mold. (I knew I recognized that shape from somewhere.)
• Lots of lovely cupcakes. Very hungry now.
• *bites into one of Mrs. SMT's banana-chocoloate cupcakes* You've made me very hungry, velvetrabbit! Jackfruit, banana, peanut cupcakes!?! This one will be attempted this weekend...
• I'm extremely envious. Unfortunately I am the baking equivalent of tone deaf. I do keep trying. Lots of mess and effort. Always leads to disappointment. And carrot cake like a breeze block. Just remembered - Monkey and his panda cakes.
• mmmmmm, panda cakes! Bite they little heads off!
