Deprived of nourishment in the womb by stronger, full-size cakes, cupcakes have overcome their physical shortcomings by maintaining dignity, even when covered in sprinkles. Give a high-five to the little guy with today’s Groupon: for $7, you get six B-sized cupcakes at Bettie's Cakes in Albany and Saratoga Springs (a $15 value). Sating confectionary cravings from a 1963 Bristol double-decker bus, Bettie's Cakes traverses tasty terrain with its selection of cupcakes, cookies, and throat-coating beverages. The sweetmeat six-pack comes in an assortment of Bettie's specialty and standard cupcake stylings, such as red velvet, peanut-butter cup, vanilla, and chocolate. Track down Bettie's mobile location via Facebook or Twitter, or visit the stationary café, a sure way to set off a 50s flashback or Napoleonic fever dream.

- We were all delighted with how moist and rich the cupcakes were, and a drink is definitely needed to wash down the sugary frosting. – Christen Gowan, Times Union
- Good stuff. They have half a dozen flavors of the day and each is available in a small, medium or large size. – Otis M., Yelp
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Road Trips
Break parole in the best way possible with these road tips for road trips:
Destinations: Nowhere to go? Pick where you're going at random by playing spin the bottle with maps instead of people. Once you've french kissed your destination, it's time to hit the road, literally. Now bandage up your hand and drive away.
Pit Stops: When fueling up, take an extra few minutes to fill your trunk up with gas so you don't have to stop again. Before doing this, make sure to move your lit candles and sun-dried fireworks to the backseat so they don't accidentally get wet.
Friendships: Bond with fellow passengers by playing a game of Celebrity Toll Booth, in which everyone in the car places toll booth operators into the categories of either John Goodman or Whoopi Goldberg.
Note: If you are by yourself, don't even bother going on the trip. The open road is no place for self-discovery.
