Gothamist: Conecakes, Yay or Nay? (via superamit)
Nay. I’d hate to eat one of these:
- I hate getting sticky or messy, and there’s no good way to attack the top without getting icing around my lips.
- I’m big on texture. The combination of textures between the hard cone and the mushy cake is too strange.
- Since most of it is very soft, but you have this very hard cone exterior, I think I’d inadvertently poke cone shards into the soft spots inside my mouth a lot when I’m expecting a large volume of softness.
I’m voting a solid Yum!
What does better than cupcakes have to say?
Ooh, I’m glad you asked! I also give it a solid yum for several reasons:
- They take me back to 2nd grade (in a good way)
- I haven’t had an ice cream cone in years because I make too big a mess and always opt for the cup. I don’t think this would be too messy, and it would make me feel like I’m eating an ice cream cone.
- Really, a cupcake is never bad. Even the bad ones are still better than no cupcakes. Could you really turn this down??
