Yesterday at work, we had cupcakes to celebrate the success of baby mugging. Well, actually, I believe it was for a co-worker’s birthday, but in my mind, everything is about baby mugging these days.
Do you like my repetitious use of baby mugging? It’s for SEO purposes so all “baby mugging” search queries lead back to me. This is what my life has come to. Baby mugging.
Anyway, this cupcake party gave me my idea for my post today. Because I might be up to my ears in baby mugging, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have time to impart CUPCAKE KNOW-HOW that will BLOW YOUR MIND.
Before I learned the secret to eating a cupcake, my preferred method was shoving it into a cup and eating it with a spoon. Yep. Cupcake in a cup. It allows you to correctly distribute the ratio of cake to icing in every bite.
Genius, right?
That’s NOTHING. Mere child’s play. I was so naive back then. I wasn’t even baby mugging yet.
At some point, someone saw me eating my cupcake in a cup and taught me the secret to eating a cupcake. It was so long ago, I honestly don’t remember who it was or else I would give them credit. Because every time I eat a cupcake amongst people who have never seen me eat a cupcake before, I CHANGE THEIR LIVES FOREVER.

YOU’RE WELCOME.

I just learned this from “Nashville”!
Oh no! Seriously? I knew I should have posted this a long time ago.
This is genius. Baby mugging. Is there baby mugging in Nashville too? Baby mugging. Baby mugging. Baby mugging. Baby mugging. Baby mugging. Baby mugging.
You’re welcome.
Love, I’ve done this for years and everyone thinks I’m crazy!
This is honestly life changing.
I have done this for years. It’s the perfect way to eat cupcakes!
I’ve been doing this for years. I call it a cupcake sandwich. There is no other way. So awesome. For Roozle’s birthday I made these cupcake sandwiches IN mason jars with a scoop of ice cream on top. It was the most genius thing I’ve ever done in my life. SO GOOD.
Now I kind of feel like I overpaid for my BA from UCLA.
They didn’t teach me crap about eating a cupcake properly.
Although I did learn a thing or two about kegs.
Shhhhh.
Mind. Blown. I see the light!
Definitely mind blown. But I don’t like cupcakes. I know, judge me.
Great idea, I’ll have to show my boys. The only unfortunate part about it for me is……..I hate icing.
I’m just starting my blog so please check it out and let me know what you think.

Baby mugging.
But how will I salaciously lick off all that icing?
My preferred way to eat cupcakes! A friend introduced me to the method a few years ago.
baby mugging! baby mugging. baby mugging?
Wow, that is a great idea! I’m like Twinology, icing tends to be way too sweet for me, and I tend to just nibble it a little bit then scrape the rest off. But, maybe sandwiching it like that would make it more palatable. I’ll have to try it! Especially now since I’m turning the corner into my 2nd trimester (12 weeks along, holla!) and food is sounding pretty good. In fact, cupcakes sound awesome. Time to go shopping…
Oh, oops. Baby mugging!! I can’t wait until I’m showing, then I’ll have my husband do an early baby mugging shot of my pregnant belly in a mug. Baby mugging!
Yum, cupcakes.
You know you can be penalized by Google and not show up at ALL if you use a term too much in an ‘unnatural’ way? Just saying, be careful!
Ilana, you are the QUEEN of new trends (baby mugging baby mugging baby mugging) but I saw my local tv reporter do this. 🙁 Not with the pizazz that you give it though.
Yep, my kids do this.
I only do it while watching this video though..You have to see it…

This has been on buzzfeed for ages, also Liz Lemon is a huge fan.

Me too!! I always tried explaining the icing ratio thing to them and it wasn’t worth the effort. So now I say, “Try it!” Nuff said…I call it my cupcake sandwich. 🙂
I call mine cupcake sandwiches too!!! lol There are less calories in a cupcake sandwich than a cupcake! 🙂
It makes extra sweet icing better…smothered by the cake. 🙂
I fall into the category of I learned that from watching Nashville and it really is AWESOME!
did someone say CUPCAKES??? 🙂
I baby mugged Gio and Jacob but it just wasn’t as cute as the “BABIES”.
I love that you’re going to be KNOWN for baby mugging. 🙂
and that is the best way to eat a cupcake, a sandwich anything is always a good thing!
You’ve got it half right, but the last part is wrong. To properly eat a cupcake, break the bottom half off and eat it. Then eat the top half with the frosting to have a perfect frosting to cupcake ratio. BTW, I’m kind of a frosting fanatic.
I actually eat the whole cake part first cause cake is not my favourite, and save icing for last with just a thin crust of cake… I did see this in Nashville too and thought it was kinda cool
BABY MUGGING.
And also yes I’ve definitely seen cupcakes eaten that way before, it’s definitely the way to go.
I’ve been eating my cupcakes like this since I was a kid. My family always just called me weird – little did they know I was actually ahead of my time! 😉
If I still bothered with Pinterest, I’d totally be pinning this.
this made me happy. very happy. thank you!
I don’t mean to distract from baby mugging or cupcakes, but OH MH GOD last nights episode of Nashville. That is all.
Back to baby mugging and cupcakes….
What do you do when you eat a fcupcake with filling?
I’ve never eaten a cupcake out of a cup, just straight into my big mouth. But how coool is this cupcake sandwich? What’s Nashville? Baby mugging 😀
No. I can’t do it. I just have to eat it with big bites. Have to, sorry. 😉
But baby mugging rocks! Mega rocks, woo hoo!
