A number of years ago when cupcake shops were opening everywhere, there was this one called Mancakes that did "manly" cupcakes (think bacon and alcohol). I finally broke down one day and decided to try one. I went with the "Buffalo wings" cupcake which turned out to be what I guess was Frank's Red Hot flavoured cake, topped with icing and some sort of crispy sprinkles (chicken skin?), and stuffed with (to my gagging surprise) blue cheese icing.

I love hot wings, I love blue cheese dip, and cupcakes are just fine.

But a buffalo wing cupcake has to be the nastiest concoction to be called a cupcake that I've ever tasted.

The bakers were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didnโ€™t stop to think if they should.

That's the greatest thing I've ever heard that I absolutely wouldn't try.

Thank you for experiencing this so the rest of us don't have to.

Starts off in a universe completely separate from my own, and keeps veering further.
