Erotica writer and editor Rachel Kramer Bussel, formerly of the Village Voice, has a cupcake blog, which recently landed her on Martha Stewart's TV show. The recent editor of bondage compilations "Yes, Sir" and "Yes, Ma'am" never explicitly discussed sex on the domestic diva's prim broadcast, and it would probably be childish to read too much into the fact that Bussel's favorite cupcake is "from Kumquat Cupcakery, it's really salty," or that her co-blogger likes to share her own, spicy-but-subtle cupcake with friends, or that everyone ends up eating Martha's cupcake at her insistence. So just enjoy the completely innocent video of cupcake talk after the jump.

your video is teh broken, pumpkin.
I think I detected a little innuendo when Martha asked (in her husky faux-WASP voice), "Is it true the clitoris can become leathery and dry from overuse?"
Waiting for that afternoon delight... sky rockets in flight...
I must chime in and say that we all had an awesome time on the show. For once, I was doing something that wasn't dirty. I know, hard to imagine, but it's true (sorry Ryan).
Cupcakes are my innocent little pasttime. I mean, who doesn't love cupcakes? (Probably shouldn't ask that here, but I think everyone has at least one good cupcake story to share.)
I DID have a good cupcake story, but she left me for a younger woman.
I like eating moist cupcakes?
*eh? eh? eh? wink wink nudge nudge*
@MyCubeHas3Sides: oops, erase the first "?"
thx.
I love Martha...
Though, did she accidentally say "cumcake" once, or was it just me that heard that?
I LOVE cupcakes, I can't wait to read this woman's blog. I don't care what she wrote about before, or how interesting it sounds.
I love Sprinkles cupcakes, but they are ridiculously overpriced. There is another good place called Vanilla Bake shop, they sell these tiny cupcakes so you don't feel like such a vile pig (this is all Los Angeles).
I went to Barnes and Noble and had a cupcake there over the weekend, it was vile, the frosting tasted like paste.
@dandles: She is just as talented writing about cupcakes as she is sex. Just saying.
@blakeley: Well, I suppose sex is a bit more interesting than cupcakes. But, damn, cupcakes are good.
@blakeley and @dandles: They're both good! Or rather, they can be.
Also, LA seems to now have more cupcake bakeries than NY does. I can't personally vouch for any, having only tried Sprinkles myself, but I've heard really good things about My Little Cupcake. There's even an LA Cupcake Meetup.
@lustylady: LA is stupid.
Actually, I hate cupcakes. It's sort of my brand. They bring out the old, bitter Goth in me.
Yeah, it's weird -- I get the idea of cupcakes - I think. They're like having all the pleaure of a regular cake, except smaller? They seem like all hype but little substance most of the time. Most baked desserts kind of blow as actual food
@donmiguel: Except Creme brulee. Right?
Yay RKB! She's fantastic.
@donmiguel: I don't understand people who "don't like dessert." It makes no sense to me. To each there own, though, and more for me!
Type "cupcakes" into Flickr and then try to account for the 2 hours of lost time to your boss. Seriously people, cupcakes are getting out of control.
I have D'cupcakes.
Two girls and a cupcake?
Yay ladies! Nice to see you on the tv, er, web video of the tv. I love Martha. I wish she would talk to me like that and ask me about cupcakes. And then we would platonically cuddle.
I can't get enough of Rachel Kramer Bussel. This bitch is fierce and delicious, for serious.
I love Rachel. I love cupcakes.
I love how Martha's "seven-minute frosting" actually took much much longer than 7 minutes. I also loved how Martha's producers managed not to ask Sugar Sweet Sunshine and Kumquat not to submit cupcakes. But mostly I loved the blogging cupcake triplets.
Martha obviously knows that the most important use for lard in a reduction is to rub about a half cup of it over the camera lens to reduce her age to 35.
@lustylady: I know this post is a little late, but L.A. has cupcake places everywhere, but a lot of them stink. Sprinkles has them all beat, but I'm determined to keep trying them all.
These three ladies are the finest in the bunch. I do believe gawker might be being a little prudish.
I'm selling my Chocolate Peanut Butter cupcakes at the new flea market in Fort Green this weekend ([www.brownstoner.com]). If you'd like to see what Ms. Rachel is talking about just mention gawker and it's on the house.
Big Love,
Kumquat Cupcakery
