Though less devastating than banana-cream pies, cupcakes still provide effective suppressive fire during fancy dinner-party food fights attended by Larry, Curly, and/or Moe. Today's Groupon lets you lock and load with this smile-inducing ammunition: for $7, you get six gourmet glitter cupcakes (a $14.25 value) at Monica's Bundt Cake Company on East Douglas Avenue.

Although Monica’s Bundt Cake Company specializes in crafting tasty bundt cakes, its bakeable skills extend to the decadent world of cupcakery. Monica's delicious glitter cupcakes tickle tongues with flavors such as crazy carrot, lots-o-vanilla, chocolate sour cream, and seasonal varietals such as August's key lime, September's apple-a-day, and October's pumpkin sour cream, garnished with real poltergeists. Made from scratch with fine ingredients such as Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon pure vanilla and a generous smear of signature cream-cheese frosting, glitter cupcakes get their name from the pink and green glitter that infuses each mini-cake with maddening mouth magic.

Located in the vortex of the Douglas Design District, Monica’s Bundt Cake Company has infiltrated 17 local stores with palate-pleasing creations and plans to continue growing until every American man, woman, and child has feasted upon its fares. Find the extra-sweet shopping break you’re seeking with six sugary cakes of cup that bring rest to the soul and nourishment to the soul’s gutsy resting place.
