Great cupcakes in history:
1. Cupcakes eaten by Parisians during bread shortage thanks to intervention of Marie-Antoinette
2. The Great Cupcake by Bhavesh Shah (addressing issues of crime and time travel)
3. ‘Camp Cupcake' (minimum-security women's prison in Alderston, West Virginia, where Martha Stewart served final five months of sentence for federal conviction).
4. The 'Safe Cupcake Amendment' (measure passed by the State of Texas, creating a cupcake loophole in nutrition policy for government schools*)
5. Little Cupcakes (new store on Degraves Street, opened three days ago by hot cupcake chefs Nikki and James, serves fine Genovese coffee, cupcake flavours include: mint, pistachio, creamy coconut, banana, chocolate and ‘red velvet'.)
* Note: the loophole allows for varying district policies on school snacks, including cupcakes, so long as these do not conflict with the policies of the Texas or US Departments of Agriculture.
