A Store Is Born!

Or at least an idea!

Like all the best ideas, it was born of frustration and a sudden realisation that women seem to be under some sort of collective delusion about that consumer zeitgeist, the cupcake.

Now I have nothing against cupcakes per se, in fact I’m a keen baker, but I can’t help but feel that this obsession with pink icing and more than £2.00 for a mouthful of sugar, butter and flour (yes Lola’s Kitchen, I’m looking at you) is a bit well, wrong in the current climate.

Now aside from the fact that my suspension of disbelief cannot stretch to the idea that Sarah Jessica Parker would actually eat a cupcake from Magnolia without some form of stunt double (thanks to Jeremiah for the link), the cupcake obsession suggests that we need to get a grip ladies.

So to attempt to inject some sanity, welcome to the Subversive Cupcake Company*.

*We also do real cake.

  1. Could you put up the Rape Crisis Network’s website on your blogroll link? http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk

    Also there’s a blog site called Women’s Views on the News (WVoN) and it’s fab :www.womensviewsonnews.org

    Love cupcakes, yours particularly. My daughter is 14, really into women’s rights and of course cupcakes and I think she’s going to love this site.

    All the best, Sarah
