For a departure from birthday cake, how about cupcakes? Sure, it’s the same basic premise, but the world of possibilities is endless. Plus, cupcakes allow you to enjoy more than one.
There are places in Myrtle Beach that have perfected them.
If you’re on the Grand Strand to celebrate your special day, try one of these places. Mix and match, sample what others pick, or trust in your favorite. Did you know there’s actually a right way to enjoy a cupcake, though?
How to Eat a Cupcake
How did we carry on so long without knowing this? If you’ve had cupcake frosting up your nose before (don’t lie!), this list is for you. Prepare to have your mind blown.
- Remove wrapper. This is basic but crucial for the best taste.
- Cut off the top. Pull it with your fingers or remove it with a knife. Steady … hold your breath if necessary.
- Put the bottom on top. What? Yes. Turn it upside down and push it down on the frosting. It should look like a delicious sandwich.
- Enjoy! People will stop staring. They’re going to try it on their next cupcake.
