Cups provide containment for life-sustaining water, protect the tender nether regions, and allow eavesdropping through walls. Combine these benefits with the scrumptiousness of cake with today's Groupon: for $7, you get six gourmet cupcakes from The Designer Cookie (a $16 value, including tax). The Designer Cookie is open daily, except Monday.
The Designer Cookie’s slate of gourmet sweet eats, all made with fresh and high-quality ingredients, inspires Pavlovian displays of salivating upon sight. Sample the savoury buttercream-frosting-crested squires in The Designer Cookie’s court with your choice of six items from the bakery’s dozen signature cupcakes. The decadence of The Designer Cookie’s couture cupcakes is seen in their fashion-pun names—let the banana cake and chocolate frosting of the Dolce and Banana sashay down the catwalk of your esophagus or get good face from the chocolate-on-chocolate-on-chocolate charm of the Luciano Sobrownie. The Lemon for All Mankind places a crown of cream-cheese frosting and lemon zest on a lemon cake, and the Jean Paul Brulé confettis toffee sprinkles upon a caramel cake with toasted buttercream. Other frosted fare includes the Donna Carrot carrot cupcake with cream-cheese frosting and walnuts, the Pradapple butterscotch and brown-sugar cupcake with candy-apple frosting, and the Christian Louboutea vanilla-sesame cupcake with green-tea frosting.

Reviews
With positive notice from SweetLife and a 72% recommendation rating from Urbanspooners, it's easy to see why The Designer Cookie was named one of blogTO's Best New Bakeries in Toronto.
- Working through my crumbling confection, I'm surprised at how much better it tastes than the cupcake and cookie that preceded it. Both were perfectly respectable, but this blew them out of the water. It was more than a taste; it was an experience. One I intend to repeat. – Daniel Kuseta, blogTO
- Beautiful store and great concept! But the best part? The cookies and cupcakes are DELICIOUS!! – Martine96, Urbanspoon
- Designer dough is one guilty pleasure we can easily afford. – SweetLife

Olger Laugenhein: Cookie Designer
If there’s one activity that’s synonymous with runway models, it’s eating cookies. The multibillion-dollar fashion industry has long had its hand in the design of cookies and other treats, but no cookie designer has set himself apart from the pack like Germany’s Olger Laugenhein, the eccentric cookie designer behind some of haute couture’s most radical trends.
“I make what my head sees,” Laugenhein tells us, beside the floor-to-ceiling windows facing seaside in his white, cube-like apartment. On his lap purrs his beloved best friend and financial partner, Dagmar, a cashmere-clad iguana in tiny sunglasses (Olger’s sunglasses match). We occupy the only furniture: squat black ottomans. I notice for the first time that he doesn’t appear to own a stove. “No, no, no,” he says, waving the notion away. “Is too mess.”
In 1951, 19-year-old Laugenhein first sandwiched chocolate cream between two cookies. By 1953 he was the fifth-richest man on the planet. If you’ve ever eaten a cracker shaped like an animal, you have Laugenhein to thank. In 1978, Olger sealed his legacy by introducing the first cookie to incorporate coconut, which, until that point, medical science had believed to be poisonous. What’s next on the forefront of cookie design?
“Next year will be all about carob,” says Laugenhein, smiling as coolly as his lizard. Surprised? Then he’s doing his job.
