Cupcakes Vs. Hot Dogs

Score one for cupcakes on the streets of New York. An upscale cupcake concession stand is replacing a hot dog vendor outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Under the proposed contract, Cake & Shake will pay the city more than $650,000 over five years. The organic cupcakes will go on sale by June for $3 each. Flavors include “Whatchamacallit” – with milk chocolate and caramel mousse – and the banana “Heaven Split.”
