The End of Cupcakes?

I came across this article the other day by Sarah Fuss of Yahoo entitled, Cupcakes and 6 Other Food Trends That Have Lost Their Cool.

Needless to say I had to check it out. (you should too) After reading the article about dying food trends I thought to myself, "Could this be the end of cupcakes?" Obviously it won't be the definite death of these small treats. Kids all over the world will need cupcakes for birthdays and we will continue to make them for bake sales and get togethers. But what about those cute little shops I've been visiting lately? Will they become a thing of the past? I for one certainly hope not. And most of the comments on the article thought the same thing.

But also this brought another thought to my head: My cupcake blog will be ending soon. As I said in an earlier post, this blog was an assignment for a class. I'm saddened to say that I will be leaving the cupcake world behind. Ok, of course not behind... I love cupcakes too much!! But my blog will become a passing trend like the article said, or at least a diminished one. Who knows, I may have to update it every now and then with great recipes and new shops!
