The Theory of Cupcakes

Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip CookiesSo my theory still needs some research but I think I may be onto a trend, a trend that girls may or may not want to say 'yes that's me' ...ALAS whilst chatting to some girls in the past few weeks it has come to my attention that maybe indeed the thought in the back of my head was indeed true.







Do girls bake cupcakes to impress a boys?
Does she wait in anticipation for his reaction, impressed, sure he will be, if you lucky maybe even his mother?
Does she stand proudly claiming the rightful claim as 'cup cake' maker for the one who catches her eye.

I did some research recently...so google could lie, but here some fun opinions anyway.
One woman said...." I’m a baker because cakes help me out of a jam from time to time. I’m a baker because brownies attract quality men.
Let’s talk about boys and baking. Boys like cookies and pies and coffee cake with lots of crumb topping.
If your particular boy doesn’t like baked goods… I’m afraid I don’t understand. He’s weird. I’d question his motives"

You know how boys… the good ones, at least… bring flowers to a first date? well what if our secret way of showing that we are 'into' them was through domestic skills and baked good?

And maybe it goes even more indepth than that, maybe baking is a sign of proving that you are a true lady, feminine in design, it could possibly be to impress you lady friends...dont get me wrong, you do get the exceptions, those lovely ladies that just have a passion for baking as they wake up in the morning. But let's be real...not all of us are blessed like that without some kind of motivation. Surely?

Whats the big deal, people would say? Even maybe the baker herself would try convince and justify perfectly fine reasons for why she is slaving away, getting flour in her hair and baking up a storm.
I would say its maybe a little bit of DENIAL. Of course the boys in this theory get off scott free just thinking, YAY CUPCAKES for my face!

So maybe i have it all wrong, but what if even 20% of what I am saying is right?
I guess the proof is in the pudding, as they say! Maybe other girls just bake because they have free time and a mission to make people fat. who knows. All I know is that baking comes form the heart, so there must be some kind of emotions linked to it.

I hope everyone finds the one guy they can say " he's the only boy I will make cupcakes for"...
Moral of the story, baking for boys (that arent your boyfriend) basically puts up a sign on your face that says 'I think I like him, so I am making a public display of my intentions,other girls leave him be or I will smash you with the cupcakes that took me five hours to make" (Okay maybe thats a bit of an overstatement, but hey the vision of a girl doing that is pretty funny).

At the end of the day while waiting for the guy you want to bake for...I guess we can always buy sponge cake from spar or bribe our mothers to do the baking (haha that always works out as a win win ;) ...and if you want to bake in the meanwhile...bake for the masses, sharing is caring!
