Cupcakes at The Party

Have you noticed the recent surge in popularity of cupcakes? Cupcakes are replacing cake as the ceremonial dessert of 21st and other birthday parties, weddings, office celebrations, and other outstanding parties.
My theory on cupcakes at The Party is that the omnipresent influence of Gen Y is permeating all parties everywhere.
As we all know, with Gen Y it is all About Me.
Egocentric, self-aware and confident -a cupcake is the perfect ceremonial dessert for Gen Y-ers. Why would we want a slice of the communal cake when we can have a a highly decorated and opulent CUPcake - a cake just for one - a cake all About Me.
The Cupcake answers all life musings of the grund norm Gen Y desire for self status which unravels the mystery of the vogue of cupcakes.
A Cupcake at The Party makes it all About Me.
