Miniaturizing has given society bagel dogs, puggles, and soccer players who were once NBA centers. Today's Groupon applies the mini to baked goods with two-dozen mini cupcakes from Mission Minis for $11 (a $22 value). Replace the friendship of a few regular cupcake confidants with a full fleet or moral support offered by pinchably cute lap-cupcakes.
From its miniature store on 22nd Street, Mission Minis employs only the tiniest hands and the highest-quality local ingredients to forge its dainty delicacies. The bakery holds itself accountable to using local spices, fruits, and dairy and implementing organic ingredients whenever possible to spin out such inspired morsels as cinnamon horchata and banana maple-glaze cupcakes. Exercise the imagination that blossoms from your taste buds through such cakey concoctions as Aztec chocolate, pink lemonade, pumpkin spice, Swiss almond coconut, ginger carrot, and more. Today's deal lets you customize your own family of mini cupcakes and then start a new civilization of fresh-baked diplomacy governed by a fickle and hungry god who will eventually destroy each citizen.
Place your order in advance at the Mission Minis store, and then pick up your newly baked crew of buds. Celebrating the collective birthday of your mini cupcakes invites all kinds of fun and buttercream-frosted sugar lips to all the partygoers.
Reviews
The Mission Local and Cupcakes Take the Cake blogs have both featured Mission Minis, and 25 Yelpers give it a perfect five stars:
- Mmmm mmmm, were they good...They had the right elements - moist cake, rich frosting, and the right proportions of each. They were pretty to look at, too - each with a little decoration to make it feel special. – Liz S., Yelp
- The presentation is outstanding - very cute little cakes in individual place holders to easily take them out without messing them up. Not to mention the fact that the cupcakes are delicious! I would give you an extra star if I could! – amanda s.,Yelp
Groupon Says
Better Off Small
Cupcakes are perhaps the most perfect example of a great thing made even greater by shrinking it into a smaller package. Here are other great things that are better small:
Germs: Sure, germs can be gross, but they'd be a lot grosser if they were 100 feet tall, walking all over our buildings, stealing our most beautiful women for bizarre rituals, and demanding the right to vote. There are trillions of germs just on the tip of your eyelash, so be glad that their disgusting mating ceremonies can't be seen with the naked eye.
Fun-Size Candy Bars: Most regular candy bars contain hallucination-inducing levels of sugar and lots of space-filling chromium to pad out the bar's size. Fun-size bars offer a quick bite of deliciousness that can be carried in a purse, wallet, or hollowed-out tooth.
Teacup Poodles: These gentles cuties shouldn't be confused with, or allowed near, the vicious, snarling, murderous, regular poodles that stalked the streets of London unchecked for decades until they were rounded up during WWII and dropped on Dresden.
