We really would like to stop feeding you news bites about things people have done with, to or in the shape of cupcakes, but for reasons we're dying to have explained, the world continues produce them. We consider it our duty.
The latest example: In the midst of a national 10% unemployment rate, Neimen Marcus has seen fit to offer customers
customized one-seat "cars" in the shape of, yes, cupcakes for just $25,000. That, if you're curious, would buy you 11,000+ edible cupcakes at New York's Magnolia Bakery, a fully equipped Toyota Camry or sustain an average family of four in Nebraska for six full months.
The cupcake cars – which the online catalog tells us are "mind-blowing, triple-dog-dare, double-infinity forever cool" – run on a 24-volt electric motor, go at a top speed of seven miles per hour and apparently have something to do with Burning Man.
Apologies for all the hater-ism, but on this one we have to ask: Has the cupcake fad finally gone too far?

I prefer my cupcakes to be edible, thank you very much.
lol "gone too far" is an understatement.
I think I had a nightmare that looked like this the other night.
As stupid as it seems to have a cupcake car.
It's still freakin' awesome.
LMAO
......people have too much free time
Cute hats!
:3
Too bad it's not like the ice cream truck! That would be sweet.
"Gone too far"? No. The correct phrase here is "beyond awesome". Especially those matching hats.
If I were rich, I would totally own that.
I think it is cute..
They look ridiculous. I'd rather have 11,000 cupcakes, thank you.
Haha, only Burning Man.
That is just... amazing.
cupcakes are to *eat* -_-
7 mph? I walk around my house faster than that.
It is amusing to picture one of those things on the interstate, though.
LOL WOW

I wish I could eat my own car..
