Most adults remove most of the icing off a cupcake, right?

[Anonymous]

Ha, me too. If I'm eating a cupcake I might as well eat the icing, unless it's that greasy cheap commercial icing.

If I like the frosting I eat it, if I don’t like it, I don’t. All frosting is not created equal and deserves an assessment of taste and flavour before determining the correct action.

How often does an adult eat a cupcake in one year?

Same. It’s very effective. Thanks, OP, for reminding me about what I’m “supposed to do.”

Right? Why exactly is an adult supposed to remove the frosting? So many people try to act superior with their declarations that desserts are too sweet.

When it’s 1-3 inches of buttered icing, you might as well pop a quarter stick cube of Kerrygold in your mouth. It’s just totally unnecessary and gluttonous.

Enjoy your single almond.

I understood that reference.

Everyone did.

PP was referencing Cap:

This. Who cares what people do OP? People will be ok with some extra sugar lol. I don't like cake and frosting in general (but could crush a bowl of Doritos) but this seems like such an odd post.

A fresh cupcake doesn’t need an inch or two or three of butter icing. It’s there for aesthetics, to look pretty and appealing in the case or in the box. I think most adults know it’s proper form to remove most of it before actual consumption.

No, it isn’t “proper form.” Good lord.

Are you the weirdo OP? I have never heard of anyone removing frosting from a cupcake. And I can't imagine this is in some "proper form" book. Just order something else if you don't like a cupcake with frosting.

So all the adults convene over the trash can with their cupcake like a barrel can fire? Or walk around with plates of blobbed frosting?

Do you think this agency is what Elon intended, but there was a typo (the f and g are right next to each other, after all), and he decided top just go with DOGE?

Elon is doing something right if you think of him even when discussing cupcakes.

Nah, it’s the lunacy of OP that brings him to mind.

Proper form

Step 1: Cupcake is offered. Respond "I couldn't possibly! I had a huge lunch! Well, if you insist... just a small bite..."
Step 2: Dramatically request a knife so you can scrape off the frosting. Note how it has been many years since you've had one.
Step 3: Purse lips, make sure you are slow and methodical. You don't want anyone to think you're going to enjoy this.
Step 4: Acting as though you are about to gag, take a bite of the cupcake. Your bite should be less then 1/4 of a large cupcake or half of a mini cupcake.
Step 5: Exclaim "This is waaaaay too sweet!!! How do people even eat this!"
Step 6: Discard the remainder of a large cupcake into a napkin. It is acceptable to finish off a mini-cupcake with one more bite.
Step 7: Giggle about how you've been "sooooo bad" and vow to do an extra two hours in the gym to work it off.

I always remove the extra frosting. I use my tongue to do it, and dispose of it safely in my gullet.

I am relieved to know I have proper form. Previously, I wasn't sure.

I do not have cupcakes all that often. No more than once a week. I need to leave room in my diet for cakes, pies, cookies, trifles, puddings, and assorted other treats.

I think you are correct.

I’m not a cake person, so the only cupcakes I eat are the chocolate lava peanut butter ones from Georgetown Cupcake. I eat the frosting. I love them so much.

I used to live in Georgetown and would go to Baked & Wired with guests who insisted from time to time. I definitely scraped off the majority of the frosting on those cupcakes because there was way too much.

Don’t forget step 8:
Excuse yourself to the restroom to induce vomiting and purge your sin into the toilet
