At close to $4 a pop, seems possible. Although now I'm for one of those peanut butter cup ones. Or any of them really. Including that giant beast in the lower right hand corner.

If you're actually going to do math...

$23.5M / 23 stores = ~1M
$1M / $4/ea = 250,000 cupcakes
250k cupcakes / 365 days = ~700 cupcakes/day

Given what I expect their hours to be, that's something like 1 cupcake per minute. Seems entirely reasonable.

Eaaaaaasy. Who said anything about *actually* doing math?! Honestly I think it's possible. Many people might come in and buy a half/full dozen at once, and I think around that time the idea of having cupcakes instead of a traditional wedding cake was well established.

But it's all crapp.
