where you eat two pieces and then the rest is left,” says
Blak-Gill. “Right now we sell a lot more cupcakes than we ever
did.”
While cupcakes are becoming more popular every day,
there’s also a growing trend of people trying to find a way to
enjoy their treats while staying healthy.
Healthy eating has become an important part of people’s
lives and when it comes to cupcakes, it’s not an easy thing to
focus on. Finding a healthy alternative that allows you to enjoy
the taste without adding fat and sugar is difficult.
Cupcakes allow for portion control because of their size.
Unlike a full size cake where you might worry about leftovers
and feel a need to eat more, a cupcake only has what is baked
into the cup.
Stores are also trying recipes that omit gluten from the
products to make their food healthier, even if only by a small
amount.
Alee Brecka, manager of Healthy Creations in Windsor,
says gluten-free cupcakes can help people digest the snack, but
she does caution people to remember it’s still a treat.
“It’s not necessarily something that you’re going to say is
the healthiest thing, but if you were going to compare in the
long run it’s better for you,” says Brecka.
Brecka says gluten-free can also help people who don’t
have issues with gluten because they use products that are
good for you.
“We use different alternatives and those grains are easier
on your body,” says Brecka. “There’s no preservatives, there’s
no additives, so you’re getting all the natural baked products
instead of stuff that can sit on the shelves for weeks.”
With places like these and many others catering to
cupcake customers in Windsor-Essex, it’s unlikely this craze
will end soon. So buy a cupcake, peel off its plastic wrapper
and enjoy the best part about a cupcake: no fork required.
