Deprived of nourishment in the womb by stronger, full-size cakes, cupcakes have overcome their physical shortcomings by maintaining dignity, even when covered in sprinkles. Give a high-five to the little guy with today’s Groupon: for $8, you get a dozen mini cupcakes (a $16 value) at The Cupcake Corner on 8th Street East. Sixteen different varieties of cupcakes, plus special daily flavours, call this cakery home. Each moistened morsel is made from scratch daily with no artificial flavouring or preservatives and hand-iced to resemble the domes of St. Basil's Cathedral, sans mecha-Lenins. For your batch of mini cupcakes, scoop up the vanilla cakes with peanut butter frosting, or try the chocolate cakes with lemon icing to shake up classical tastes. Cupcake connoisseurs may buy up to three Groupons, ensuring there'll be tiny pastries in the fridge at least until next week.

• Be ready to be impressed! The selection is large and the flavors are amazing! My daughter was all over the Chocolate Cake with Strawberry Icing and I tried the Mocha Icing also on Chocolate Cake. BOTH were so delicious that we had to get a few more to take home. – Saskatoon Moms
