Slog - Comments on Killer Cakes, Expanding Doughnuts http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/killer_cupcakes_expanding_donuts Starting today and continuing through Valentine's Day, Seattle's Cupcake Royale is offering the Deathcake Royale, featuring "layers of single-origin chocolate decadence, espresso ganache, and [Cupcake Royale's] own chocolate-cake deluxe, drizzled with rich chocolate ganache" to create "Seattle's most lovingly lethal cupcake." Last week, Cupcake Royale dropped off a couple sample Deathcakes, and they sufficed--deliciously--for the whole, hoggish editorial office. One or two bites is all any normal person can expect to take of a Deathcake—which isn't really a cupcake, but a small, dense cube. If you like schmancy chocolate explosions, you have two weeks to get one. (Confidential to...

Over the holidays, I was visiting family in Roswell, NM and was practically jizzing with joy to get some Top Pot donuts. And believe me, Roswell is among the last places to get anything. My mom was fucking excited about the fact that a Chili's opened up.

(and it's pronounced "gree-zee" where I come from...they also say "Wor-sheen-ton" for the state we live in...)

No preorder needed.

If you want chocolate, why don't you eat chocolate? Cake isn't chocolate no matter how dense you make it.

Gitcherself a bar of Domori 70% single-estate goodness.

GOOD chocolate cake is one of the greatest things in life. Not so good chocolate cake is torture. Your momma must not know how to bake.

As for Cupcake Royale, did they put all the moistness missing from their other cupcakes the rest of the year into this one for a limited time only?

As for Top Pot, what's not to love, but making donuts isn't exactly hard, not like chocolate cake hard.

Cake is the baked embodiment of evil. My momma wasn't the greatest baker, but I've had the best, and it was horrible. I'd rather suck pus out of Dick Cheney's festering chest wound than look at a picture of the best cake ever made.

I like pie.
