Fro Yo vs. Cupcakes

Both yummy treats have been around forever. Who didn't make cupcakes for a bake sale back in the day (Funfetti anyone?), or get pumped up for TCBY after school in the 90s? It's not like either treat ever had a bad rep, but the 2000s have brought mega makeovers for these sweet treats. 

Cupcakeries have popped up across the country, take the starring role on a few reality tv shows, and cupcakes have even replaced the wedding cake at many weddings in the 2000s.

So cupcakes were having a moment, but while they were basking in the glory of their new found makeover popularity, a cold and yummy dark horse made a comeback in a big way. Welcome to the new you, frozen yogurt! In case you haven't noticed, you can score a bucket sized portion of serve yourself frozen yogurt on pretty much any street corner these days. You can even put fruit on top to make yourself feel better about the bucket of yogurt you are consuming.  I'll be honest, I'm smitten by the new and improved yogurt shop experience.

  Yoforia is a self serve fro yo heaven. There is one in the South Park Mall in Charlotte, where I'll will probably be snacking later today. Find one near you here! 

I don't know if a winner can be declared between cupcakes and frozen yogurt, but they have both made the ultimate comeback. What will be the next dessert comeback kid?
