The latest calorie-crunching trend coming out of bakery shops is that of frosting shots. If you’re craving a sweet hit of baked goods but don’t want to partake in the calorie content of a whole cupcake, this is just the thing to hit that sweet spot.
The phenomenon is emerging from Seattle and is sure to spread worldwide. A shot of butter cream icing in a paper cup or shot glass satisfies the desire for sugar at about 75 cents.
