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 $12, you get a half-dozen chocolate lovers jumbo cupcake package at Buckingham Cakes on North Peckham Court (a $24 value).

Lisa Buckingham showcases her artistry on sweet, edible canvases, and has been baking up creative specialty cakes since 2006. Sweet teeth can be satisfied and sore eyes massaged with the chocolate lovers package of six jumbo handcrafted cupcakes. The palate-pleasing pillows are twice the size of their regulation-size cupcake counterparts, like an athlete and his bobblehead or an ewe and her lamb that's gone through the dryer. White-chocolate raspberry, chocolate hazelnut, and chocolate peanut butter cup populate the saccharine sextet, their luscious made-from-scratch fillings surrounded by a carefully tuned combo of flour, eggs, and cocoa.
