I apologize if this is a dupe - I am just in awe that such wonderment exists.

So, what are they, like, ten bucks each? Considering it's in Beverly Hills...

(3,702 posts)4. $3.50 according to the website (that might be just in store)
They look darn tasty and hell I am sure I would pay that for the convenience and awesomeness of a cupcake atm

(29,414 posts)5. Okay, thanks :)
I still don't get the appeal of cupcakes, though. Maybe it's just me, but I find them exceptionally difficult (and messy) to eat. Gimme a spoon and a bread-pudding in cup instead

I don't do pink if ever possible.

(12,272 posts)6. My first thought too, it's an automat
And it's pink! I think I would have to buy one, for the fun of it and I do enjoy a good cupcake on occasion.

I would be too tempted and I don't need the calories.

Chocolate Cake In 5 Minutes!
Ingredients:
4 Tablespoons cake flour
4 Tablespoons sugar
2 Tablespoons cocoa
1 Egg
3 Tablespoons milk
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Mug
Instructions:
Mix flour, sugar and cocoa:
Spoon in 1 egg
Pour in milk and oil, and mix well
Put in microwave for 3 minutes on maximum power (1000watt)
Wait until it stops rising and sets in the mug
Tip contents out of mug onto saucer and enjoy!
You can do it in a small bowl too...the resulting shape is nicer and it was even better with a little whipped cream on it.

I did make this recipe - which is awesome - and it can also be scaled to one, but shouldn't be cooked in the microwave:
Mint Chocolate Cakes with molten centers
3/4 cup chocolate chips (Ghardelli Bittersweet and Hershey's Mint Chocolate)
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter
4 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp peppermint extract
1/4 cup all purpose flour
Preheat oven to 400 F (mine oven runs hot and is a convection - other ovens may need to be a little hotter). Butter or spray 4 ounce custard cups and sprinkle cocoa powder all inside.
Melt chocolate and butter in microwave - 22 seconds at a time, stirring each time, until almost completely melted. Beat eggs and sugar until light and frothy; add extracts and chocolate, best until mixed. Add flour and beat just until mixed.
Pour batter into custard cups. It should fill them almost to the tops. Put the cups onto a baking sheet and into the oven. *** Bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops just crack and the sides are set. The middles will still be liquid. remove from oven and let sit for 2 minutes.
Run knife around the edges and turn out onto plates. Garnish as desired - sprinkle powdered sugar over the top, drizzle with caramel or raspberry sauce, put whipped cream on top, serve with ice cream, or with strawberries or raspberries.
*** After putting the batter into the cups, you can refrigerate the batter for a day or two. Some people say that refrigerating for an hour or more makes the cakes taste better. If you do refrigerate the batter, remove from the refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature before baking.
From reviews of the original on AllRecipes, the cakes can be eaten cold with the centers going kind of fudgy. Or they can be reheated for maybe 30 seconds in the microwave to liquify the centers again.
