Though less devastating than banana-cream pies, cupcakes still provide effective suppressive fire during fancy dinner-party food fights attended by Larry, Curly, and/or Moe. Today's Groupon lets you lock and load with this smile-inducing ammunition: for $15, you get one- dozen gourmet cupcakes, plus delivery, at A Cupcake Heaven (a $30 value including tax), which will deliver to anywhere in Palm Beach County. This deal is good for one flavor only.

Inspired by their grandparents' Southern family recipes, owners Tamika Peay and Lindsey Clark founded A Cupcake Heaven to concoct dainty and decadent delights made from the freshest and sweetest ingredients. Like the skin color of the North Pacific Giant Octopus or the time signature of a prog-rock song, the cupcakery's divine flavors are always changing, but its sumptuous varietals include the strawberry shortcake, the rich chocolate caramel macchiato, and the tropically inspired pineapple upside-down. Give your sweet tooth a proper Columbus Day gift with the candied sweet-potato cupcake, or make sweet, sweet nose-love to the tempting aromas of the red-velvet cupcake. Since these frosting-topped goodies are made to order and baked daily, each bite will burst with full-fledged flavor. Once you've done the hard work of deciding on a single flavor, the bakery's friendly staff will then deliver your dozen cupcakes right to your door, even if it means wading across your stingray-filled moat.

Must order 48 hours in advance. A Cupcake Heaven bakes with nuts on premises. Individuals with nut allergies are advised not to consume the cupcakes.
