Cupcakes are a preferable alternative to birthday cakes, whose constant accompaniment by off-key singing has depleted the planet’s finite supply of forced smiles. Garner genuine grins with today's Groupon to The Great Cupcake Company. Choose from the following options:
- For $16, you get two 16-count boxes of mini cupcakes (a $30 value) or a baker’s dozen (13-count) cupcakes (a $32 value).
- For $49, you get an annual Cupcake-of-the-Month members-club card (a $119 value). This membership includes a box of four cupcakes of the month to be picked up every month.
The cupcake connoisseurs at The Great Cupcake Company elicit sugary smiles with their pint-size pillows made with 70 percent organic ingredients. The cakesmiths whip together organic flour, cane juice, and fruits to concoct miniature cakes perfect for accompanying special events or for providing guest beds for vagabond Thumbelinas. The petite pastries are baked fresh daily, with an upbringing free of artificial ingredients, including preservatives, colors, or flavors. Each of the boxes featured in today’s Groupon burst at the saccharine seams with the feathery vanilla cream and chocolate ganache of the Atlanta cream pie and the fluffy cream-cheese frosting on the red-velvet mini cake. An Oreo-inspired cookies 'n' cream and the buttercream-topped Plain Jane also tuck themselves sweetly inside the bakery box. Packages may also be stuffed with signature cupcakes of your choice or with the daily featured cake.
Mini-cake fanatics can also opt for the annual Cupcake-of-the-Month member’s-club card, which includes a monthly box of the four cupcakes of the month to be picked up. The membership lasts for an entire year to sate even the sweetest of sweet teeth or provide the ammunition necessary to paint the town sweet with a cupcake canon.
Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: What Makes a TV?
Enjoying television is as patriotic as knitting an apple pie or eating American flags. Here's a look at some of the components that make up these high-tech picture boxes:
• Glass: A high-end TV has a glass screen that when turned off (not recommended) will reflect your image. When turned on, it will reflect how awesome TV is.
• Cathode Ray Tube: No longer needed for modern TVs to work, but manufacturers still put one in every set just for old times' sake.
• Gold: TV signals, like men's hearts, are lustily attracted to gold, causing them to fly out of the sky into the gold brick in the back of every TV.
• A Couple of Horse Bones: 'Cause why not, right?
• Wires: They hook up to the wired helmets that all the actors wear to beam their acting into your TV.
• An Eternal Flame: To honor the former TV stars who have died.
• Tiny Fire Extinguisher: In case the eternal flame gets out of control.
• IBM PetaFlop SuperComputer: Guesses when you want to change the channel, lower the volume, etc., all to cover up the fact that the remote control doesn't do anything.
• Martin Sheen: He's gotta live somewhere.
