Cupcake Fad Over? Not At Florida Bakery Offering “Adults Only” Treats

Despite recent pronouncements that the cupcake fad is all but dead, cupcake bakeries in Florida are flourishing, including one whose product line is off limits to minors. The Heavenly Treats Bakery believes it has perfected “adults only” cupcakes that contain rum, tequila, Bailey’s Irish Cream and other liquors. According to the owners, it took awhile to get the recipes just right, but taste tests have been very positive: “people are just going crazy about them,” says owner Marcia Potter. Food writer Maria Sonnenberg notes: “Booze cupcakes are proof the collective national interest in the confections continues red hot.”
