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 $15, you get a dozen specialty cupcakes at The Confectionary Cupboard in Willoughby (a $30 value). The Confectionary Cupboard's stable of sweet cakes fends off taste-bud boredom with a dizzying array of delectable, rotating flavors, all made fresh on a daily basis. Recent flavors include french toast, chocolate cheesecake, and banana split. Some varieties even have candy housed inside their fluffy, pillowy cores—ensuring a cozy and pleasant journey between the cooling rack and the ravaging hands of a cupcake-coddling toddler.
