Can a “real man” eat a lovely pink frosted cupcake? Now you can stop dragging your guy to Magnolia, New York Lovelies: instead, take him to Butch Bakery in NYC for a testoterone-infused dessert: manly cupcakes.
The mancakes come in 12 flavors, which have hilarious descriptions. Take the “Beer Run” – “Butch meets buttercream in our chocolate beer cake with beer-infused buttercream topped with crushed pretzels.”
Or the “Rum & Coke” – “The pause that refreshes – this rum-soaked madagascar vanilla cake with cola bavarian cream filling is a knockout.”
For extra machismo, the cupcakes come decorated in “manly” colors and patterns: camouflage, blue plaid…and nary a sprinkle in sight.
I find this hilarious, Lovelies. I hope people don’t take ithe engendering of cupcake shops too seriously. After all, I’m a chick, and “brandy-soaked lemon cake featuring an orange & white chocolate ganache filling” still sounds pretty tasty to me.
Would your guy go to the Butch Bakery? Would you?

I personally think it’s pretty damn sad that a dude has to eat a ‘butch’ cupcake in order to be seen as heterosexual.
Yeah, I’m taking it seriously.
guest
Haha, wowww. That cupcake does not look appetizing to me, honestly.

A few of their cupcakes have bacon in them.
“Home Run: This peanut butter cake with banana bavarian cream & crumbled bacon
is more fun than getting to third base.”

@MeltingJuju@xanga - no one said they HAD to!
I’ve personally seen guys get more excited than girls to make a stop at Magnolia Bakery
guest
Perhaps this is supposed to appeal to women? Kinda like Pocky for men
guest
Really dumb. And I thought “butch” was slang for a lesbian?
guest
I tried Magnolia bakery cupcakes and thought they were nasty. It was disappointing.

guest
XD This made me lol.
guest
Why care? You’re just going to eat it. It’s still food
guest
some of those dont even seem appetizing, cupcakes are supposed to be sweet, whats up with the pretzels??? it just seems like a gimmick last time i checked everyone like cupcakes, they r gender neutral.
guest
Seriously…men are re-fucking-tarded if they cannot EAT something that looks remotely ‘cute’, ‘girly’ etc…it’s effin’ food. Eat a damn cupcake and STFU!
guest
Id go, just to check it out, but in all honestly I dont think my SO would go there for a “manly” cupcake. Hes a marine and I bring cupcakes for all the boys sometimes and they couldnt care less what the frosting is
guest
I think people are being a bit too sensitive. It’s just a sales gimmick. It’s a funny idea to “butch” up cupcakes. That’s the point: to laugh. So laugh. And quityerbitchin.
guest
I like the different flavor mixtures and fun descriptions of the cupcakes but the patterned camo/plaid frosting doesn’t look appealing. I think it would be funny to check out the place.
guest
@Jessica - No I haven’t! I should – I love cupcakes!!! I only went to Magnolia once (don’t live anywhere close to NYC), so maybe it was just a bad batch??
guest
@Pheism@xanga - Uh no it doesn’t only mean that lol.
And I want to try!
Probably gross tasting though.
guest
ah lol..
guest
i think it’s a great concept, it’s fun. in the uk, some chocolate bars and crisps had slowly been re-phrased as ‘mens chocolate’ and ‘mens crisps’ just cos its bigger and chunkier. don’t be so sensitive ppl! i’m going nyc in 3 weeks and hope to get some delivered to me! <3
guest
lol
guest
@sheflourishes@xanga - Thank you. Leave it to women to get pissed off at nothing.
guest
haha that’s so cute. i guess i’d give it to a guy for there b-day.
guest
Pretty dang funny!
guest
Blue plaid? That’s pretty nifty. lol.
