Thanks Maria for this note. Along with cupcakes, it appears that sweets (or candy as the trans-atlantians call them) are doing really well. With some stores reporting an increase of 10% in January and February sales, others are looking to expand.
There are lots of theories as to why sweet things are being lapped up, and they all seem to hinge on the low cost of the sugar rush being an easily accessible soul soother when richer luxuries are out of reach.
