APPARENTLY, up until recently German's didn't know what cupcakes were. Thanks to America, in the form of McDonalds, they now know what cupcakes are. Shitty cupcakes, but cupcakes none the less.
Mcafe just introduced New York themed cupcakes to it's menu. Nicholas Kulish from the New York Times went to Berlin to try them out.
He writes, "The cupcakes themselves were rather small for the price of $2.40, and cold from the refrigerated display case, which made the icing hard. The cake itself was dense rather than fluffy and more sweet than flavorful." Yuck. A 26 year old engineering student described them as "artificial". Boo.
The four cupcakes are New York themed, they go as follows --
Chelsea - Chocolate
The East Village - Cappuccino
Central Park - Strawberry
SoHo - Vanilla
SoHo - Vanilla
I don't know why we are bothering giving these German's bad cupcakes, they are unnecessary. I love cupcakes so much that I'm ashamed an American brand name is being associated with such crap. If we keep good ol' fashion Funfetti Cupcakes from Germans and the rest of the globe, I don't know what kind of world citizen's we think we are.
Cupcakes for everyone!
