Move Over Cupcakes – High-End Cookies Are the New Sweet Sensation
There’s no doubt that baked goods underwent a revolution in the first decade of the Twenty-First century. The 1980s and 90s gave us fashionable restaurant pastries with intricate sugar sculptures and artistic chocolate towers. But the last ten years saw a return to roots; the kind of baked goods your grandma would make, except executed much, much better.
The humble cupcake, saved from crusty dryness by whole new approaches, was certainly the darling of the aughts, but from the looks of things, the cookie is taking over.
Just look at these trendsetting sweets from Japan’s Cookieboy.
Unfortunately, the site’s in Japanese, so I can’t provide much more info. Any one out there have more details?
