Butch Bakery takes the cute out of cupcakes

That's Drill Sergeant Cupcake to you, maggot!

Cupcakes are pretty, cute and small. Ladies can nibble pastel sweets without fear of reprisal, but what about cake-craving manly men? Butch Bakery in NYC has heard the call and manned-up one of the most effete treats going with their cupcakes for dudes. Woodland camouflage, checkerboards and wood-grain chocolate disks top the treats, frosted in gender-neutral vanilla and sober chocolate. What's not sober are the cupcakes themselves; see the Rum & Coke, a rum-soaked Madagascar vanilla cake paired with cola Bavarian cream.

Butch Bakery treats are currently only available in NYC, but founder David Arrick, possibly fearful of raids by armed sugar-seeking commandos mad for his maple cupcakes with chocolate ganache and bacon bits, has promised nationwide delivery as soon as possible.
