3. Cupcakes

Cupcakes. Cupcakes. Cupcakes. To outperform both Nutella and Food Truck related searches, you can definitely assume Cupcakes were on our mind almost every day of 2010. Whether it was former MTV Reality Stars opening up their own Cupcakery, Plush Cupcakes, a controversial Cupcake Canon video, Scrambled Egg and Bacon Cupcakes, Cupcake Mints, Star Wars Cupcakes or easily the most popular of the year: The Pumpkin Pie in a Cupcake.

Easy and delightful to eat, cupcakes captured our hearts and stomachs into 2010. From the creation side, the minimal learning curve allows even beginning bakers to get into the kitchen to make a batch…but the limitless possibilities allowed the truly innovative to garner the attention of the web. I think we might see an equally impressive showing from cupcakes into 2011, what do you all think?
