Cupcakes, like babies, are smaller, cuter, and more tempting to nibble on. Indulge your maternal/carnivoral instincts with today's Groupon: for $8, you get a half-dozen gourmet cupcakes at Miss Mamie's Cupcakes, Cakes and Such in Marietta, a $16 value including tax. Call ahead at least 24 hours in advance to place your pick-up order. Get up to two Groupons for a full dozen cupcakes to make your Mother’s Day tea party an especially sweet occasion.

Miss Mamie's plays host to a small army of frosty cupcakes, harboring five distinct flavors of moist, cream-topped cake each day. Because each day brings a flavorful flight of gourmet goodness, customers may check Miss Mamie's homepage for rotating menu options, such as the ravishing red velvet, the slowly poured ingenious fusion of chocolate and Guinness, or the fortuitous cameo of caramel-spiced apple. The cupcakery also churns out daily regulars such as cookie dough, devils food, and the oxymoronic smoothly paved rocky road. Atop the pillow of buttercream, Miss Mamie often places a tiny treat, such as a mini gingerbread man, banana chip, or buttery chunk of cookie dough.

Owner and resident miniature-cake maker Mamie Jo began her love of sweets in the mitten state of Michigan. She then flew south to wrap herself in the warmth of local hospitality and the cold hard culinary facts of Le Cordon Bleu Atlanta. Having also studied art and design, Miss Mamie constructs each hand-held yum cup to be as gorgeous as it is delicious. Share her passion for frosted feasts with a close loved one, a distant relative, or a misunderstood howler monkey.
