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

Me too! No mess, perfect distribution of frosting to cake!

Frosting (good frosting) is the point of a cupcake. The cake is just a vehicle for the frosting.

I eat it all.

[Anonymous]

That depends on the frosting

[Anonymous]

No, I eat it.

I really have no use for the cake part. I love frosting and eat all of it. Unless it’s whipped cream frosting which I don’t like. My DD isn’t much of a sweet tooth and usually removes some of her frosting and gives it to me.

This happens maybe once a year which is how frequently we eat cake or cupcakes.

How gauche to make rules for others about cupcakes.

Umm, no. Break the top from the bottom, put the bottom on the top, eat as an icing sandwich

You described me exactly.

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.

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.

Sometimes people go back and inhale that discarded cupcake when they think nobody is looking.

Right, and sad in a different way.

I'm not into sweets. I eat maybe a cupcake or two a year, and I scrape off the frosting because I personally don't like it. I also don't generally notice what other people do with cupcakes, and I really don't care.

Cupcakes just aren't important in my life, but apparently they rule the mind of some others.

Yes. I remove the whole thing from the late into my stomach.

Actually, the icing is my favorite part. If I remove anything to not eat it's the cake. Have you seen the Anne Hathaway method of sandwiching? Sometimes, if it cuts right, I will remove a bottom layer of the cake to sandwich and pull off more cake.

I don't have much of a sweet tooth in general, but I do love icing when I eat cake.

[Anonymous]

Eh. Dislike cupcakes so I don't eat them.

[Anonymous]

I don’t buy store bought cupcakes. The homemade ones usually have delicious frosting (with actual butter) and not nearly as much as the piped store ones.

[Anonymous]

I mostly only eat the frosting.
