Every few weeks I come across an article proclaiming that cupcakes are dead or ______ will be replacing cupcakes this year. I've been seeing these kinds of articles for years, yet cupcakes are still gaining in popularity.

Last Saturday was National Pie Day. Although I love cupcakes, I am certainly not opposed to other sweets. In honor of National Pie Day, Pardon My Crumbs posted her list of the top 3 places to get pies in LA. I've never gone out of my way to try a pie, but maybe it's time to do that.
