Before cakes, the only vehicle for frosting consumption was the bare hand, and the only place to load frosting onto that vehicle was the neighbourhood frosting bucket. Eat frosting the evolved way with today's Groupon to Pink Sugar Cupcakery. Choose between the following options:

• $15 gets you $30 worth of cakes (not valid for cupcakes).
• $7 gets you $15 worth of cakes and cupcakes.

The bakers at the boutique cupcakery bake their delectable dairy-free, egg-free desserts entirely from scratch daily, using only fresh and high-quality ingredients—such as fresh bananas and Madagascar vanilla—in their small-batch baked treats. Cakes ($30 for a 6", $45 for an 8", $57 for a 10") are willed into inventive flavours, including banana split, chocolate orange, and the Lolla Lee Lou—a coconut-lavender-cream-filled vanilla cake topped with a lemon-cream-cheese-esque frosting. If you prefer your sweets with a touch of savoury or a pour of booze, try Pink Sugar's man cake flavours, which include the maple-bacon Mackenator and the Jack and Coke. With the cakes and cupcakes option, mix and match a half dozen treat varieties from the charming shop's available daily options, or stock your bundle of yum-bombs with one favourite cake flavour.

• The new ‘mancakes’…are geared for the guys – like Tequila-Lime, Jack ‘n Coke, and The Mackenator – a maple cake topped with maple frosting and bacon bits. Sound weird? Taste it first. I did and I’m sold. – Catherine Dunwoody, Food Network
• After tasting them all, the Elvis was most definitely my favorite, although they were all delicious. – CM, Vegan in Bellingham
