It's getting late and I'm getting hungry so I'm making this cupcake photo really, really big. Not, however, quite as big as a fight brewing about the dots atop the frosting. (Who knew?)
Seems those dots are a hallmark of Sprinkles, one of the shops (and an Oprah fave) at ground zero of the cupcake craze. Now come Famous Cupcakes, sporting suspiciously similar dots, and the frosting is about to hit the fan. The full story about the Great Cupcake War of '08, by Kimi Yoshino, is here.
