There will be giveaways all week, starting with this super sweet prize pack, perfect for macaron lovers: a miniature original watercolor CakeSpy painting (the original!

Are macarons "the new cupcake"?

I think so! They are adorable!
No. I think whoopie pies are becoming the new cupcake, though I really don't think the cupcake is quite done yet.
yes, cupcakes are great, but the fad is starting to die out.... here come the macarons!!
Happy birthday! I don't think macarons are ready just yet to be the new cupcake. But they sure are cute!
Nothing can replace a cupcake...plus I've never had a macaroon! I want to try one though. :)
Happy Birthday!! No I think cupcakes will rule for a very long time!
Nope, a macaroon will never be a cupcake
Cupcakes will live long and prosper and macaroons will be just a flash in the pan.
I don't think they'll necessarily replace cupcakes, but they will become they're own hit within their own separate category.
They are certainly cute enough to give the cupcakes a good run for their money!!
No, not the new cupcake, but maybe a close cousin.
Love them.
Happy Birthday.
I thought macaroons might be the new cupcake, but after long consideration I have come to the conclusion that Pies are going to be the new cupcake!!!
No, I think macarons flavors are not as diverse as cupcakes, although they are very tasty. As another comment mentioned, there is the nut factor. Woopie Pies are gaining popularity, probably more appealing to the general public than macarons. Happy Birthday!
Not JUST the "new cupcake" but the more AWESOME cupcake, the "I can eat MORE of them and not feel like a giant cow" cupcake and the "I can't stop buying them!" cupcake. :)
Umm no macaroons are NOT the new cupcake. It`s still cupcakes! Cupcakes rule! Cupcakes Rock! Oh now I`m hungry.....
No, Cupcakes rule!! Just not the same, sorry!
I think that macarons and cupcakes are such different animals that one could never replace the other. Sure, more people are warming to the macaron's delicate texture, exotic flavors and petite size, but cupcakes will always be the symbol of childhood (particularly in America!) and celebratory decadence. Personally, I like macaron's in moderation... I can only have a couple of bites before maxing out on the sweetness. Cupcakes however can vary so widely in flavor, type of frosting, type of cake, that they have more staying power for me! So, I guess I'm Team Cupcake! Num num num!!!
Meh, no way, cupcakes are still the biggest trendiest desert!
Nothing will ever replace cupcakes!!
Macarons are tasty but I have never had a craving for a macaron. Now cupcakes....it's difficult to think of a day that did not begin and end with me wanting a cupcake.
i sure hope not, I love cupcakes! I can't imagine a cartoon macaron being very popular :)
yes, I believe they are. And I love them, so that's o.k. in my book.
Sure!
Never! Nothing will replace the cupcake for me, but I do love mararons too.
