This is better then cup cakes and cooler!

WaPo Lifestyle blog talks about hand pies and how great they are. These palm sized desserts are a backlash to cup cakes and cost more.

Imagine a pie that fits nicely in your hand. Flaky buttery pastry filled with some sweet fruity filling dusted with sugar. Sounds great right!

I want one. Oh wait I can get this delectable treat from McDonalds or if I want the superior version, fried pie. I can go to bojangles. Ha ha ha ha.

While I sit hear craving about...
Hand pies. Cupcakes. Cookies. I think about the fad treats and the cupcake proliferation.

The problem with the cup cake overdose and the predictable what's next backlash is not the hipster pretension of picking the next cool treat. The problem is that most desserts makers can't bake well. Passing off bad cupcakes by adding seasonal flavors is a common practice. You just have to recognize that the product is still subpar. That's the problem.

A hand pie for $5 man that's a rip off. $5 gourmet cookies that taste like tollhouse rip off.

Just bake it well. No more "grandma's" secret recipe bull shit. Make it awesome surprise with something new and worthy!
