For ONE cupcake??

When we arrived to DC, we discovered an inviting sign near our METRO stop.  If you know me, you’ll understand how very enticing this was…

And of course, we had to check it out.  Quite simply, we found just what the sign stated…

And we indulged.  Now—these were yummy-looking little treats that we did have the choice to purchase.  But— at $3 EACH, they weren’t quite that yummy.  The most intriguing part---  the place was packed!  The price for 1 dozen? $33.  No kidding!  And—  while we were gobbling down every last expensive crumb, someone was placing an order for 3 dozen.  Yes, I’m from a small town and may be a bit naive, but can you imagine spending $100 on your next party for… CUPCAKES???  Is there something I’m missing?  Anyone want to go into business…  :)
