Oh, Megan. *sigh* Why do I read you? I have gestational diabetes. I haven't had a simple carbohydrate since sometime before Christmas. This post makes my teeth hurt with longing.

Wow, that Christopher Frizzelle sounds like a real asshole. Would he tell someone in AA that they need to sample some of this Maker's Mark?

I agree with @2. Dick move, Frizzelle.

@2 and @3 Christopher is not an asshole, I promise. I could've said no and he would've understood. But I wanted to try it. I never said I was cutting out sugar completely and Christopher knows that. I'm just learning how to enjoy it in moderation.

There was a blog post about a blind taste test on a few dozen college students of Isa Chandra Moskowitz's vegan cupcakes vs Martha Stewart's animal cupcakes (same type and look). Some couldn't tell the difference but overall the vegan cupcakes won hands down. Cupcake Royale will always be poorer quality AND more unhealthy until they change their recipes.

(Google it since I don't want to register)

(Besides, if you want to place blame on anyone, blame Cupcake Royale for making such a fucking delicious treat. The nerve!)

@5
I absolutely refuse to believe a vegan cupcake (without BUTTER! and EGGS!) could be better than anything at Cupcake Royale. And I don't go there because it's healthy. Everything in moderation.

ProTip: Eating an entire Deathcake in one sitting isn't unlikely to give you a stomachache — it's just that rich. Love 'em, but try to take care of it in two sittings unless you have an iron gut.

Do you still have to order them in advance, or can you just walk in and buy one now?

Who am I kidding - I'll be at Cupcake Royale tomorrow in person to find out.

@13 They usually have some at every location, K3, but the closer it gets to Valentine's Day, the sooner they sell out. So if you wanted one for a specific date, it's best to order ahead and not risk leaving empty handed.

Plus, I think you get a free Deathcake sticker if you order ahead!

"Decadence" usually refers to a flourless chocolate cake made lighter by beaten eggs folded into a melted chocolate/butter mixture. It's lighter than fudge but denser than a brownie. I usually serve mine with some raspberry sauce and whipped cream!

I wish I had known that they were sampling it prior to today! I think I'm going to have to get in there to Cupcake Royale and get sinful.

@Cori - That sounds divine.
