I am an internet-famous cupcake chef (see: http://imgur.com/fFlC5) and former Czar of Cupcakes at ZeroCater, and I believe the bubble has popped.

You can only charge $4 for a cupcake for so long before the novelty wears off. Maybe now people will stop telling me to quit my job and make cupcakes full-time after they try my chocolate cupcakes w/ sriracha caramel frosting.

And, if you're looking to get in on the next fad sweet trend, donuts are the new cupcakes.

Is this just a repeat of the Krispy Kreme craze around the turn of the millenium?
Wasn't that just a repeat of the TCBY craze of the late 80s?
Froyo is very boom/bust. There's been another big boom (around the tart yogurts from Pinkberry et al) recently.
Sriracha caramel frosting? Is... is that legal?
