French word of the day: le glacage

Def: frosting

The French are becoming obsessed with cupcakes. We had one of our “pet dej’s” at the office this morning (don’t ask how many pastries I ate) and one of the girls made cupcakes (See? Obsessed. Cupcakes for breakfast!). My opinion of them, as the sole American, was greatly anticipated… I gave her the thumbs up. Sweet glacage.

  1. It's been a total obsession in the D.C/Philly area too. And just when I'm trying to cut back!

  2. The cupcake craze is over in NYC. Too bad!

  3. In one of the many American magazines I picked up on my trip home last week, there was an ad for fruity pebbles cupcakes. That's right, cupcakes made out of Fruity Pebbles cereal. So that girl is right in there with the cupcakes for breakfast theme. I think I'd prefer hers though
