Breaking news about baked goods

I read a newspaper this morning just because I had the time to. And I learned something very, very important. You may be thinking that I'm referring to an article about the kerfuffle in Congress over tax cut legislation, but I am not.

The newspaper I read featured an article by Sylvia Rector--"Experts predict surprising trends for foodies"-- reprinted from the Detroit Free Press, and it contains important information about two important foods: cupcakes and pie.

According to Rector, pies are poised to overtake cupcakes in popularity in 2011:

Cupcakes will take a backseat as pies -- glorious pies! -- begin showing up in every size, form and format, from savory to sweet and from deep-dish to individual deep-fried ones.

While I love cupcakes with their sweet tastes and cute decorations, I am equally enamored of pie, and just as I can go to a cupcakery and find nothing but cupcakes, I would love to see a pie shop open in my hometown.

Especially if it looks like the Pie Hole from Pushing Daisies.

But I am flexible and will overlook architecture and interior design as long as there are pies.

...but I do miss that TV show.

I love pie - more than cupcakes - but it has to be good pie. I guess I'm a pie snob, but those grocery store pies don't tempt me.

Melissa: Yay! Glad to hear it :)

Myrna: I think pie-snobbery in the grocery store is wise.

Nina: That was tought. I don't know how you did it.
