That's a lot of trouble for a cupcake! Reminds me of the old joke:

A man goes into a bakery and says he wants to commission a special cake. He
wants it in the shape of the letter "L," he wants pink frosting, and he
wants it decorated with candied lilac petals. The next day, the man comes by
the bakery and sees the cake which was made. He says, "No, that's not what
I wanted! I wanted a CURSIVE letter 'L,' not a PRINTED one!"

Sighing, the baker sets out to craft a new cake in the shape of a cursive
"L." The customer comes back the next day and says, "That's good on the
shape, but could you make the frosting a little bit lighter?"

So the baker gets back to work, this time making a completely-new frosting.
The customer again returns, and says, "That looks good...Oh wait, are THOSE
lilac petals? What do you call them... VIOLETS! I wanted candied *VIOLET*
petals, not candied lilac petals! I'm so sorry! I'll come back tomorrow."

The customer comes back the next day and everything is FINALLY just right.
So he pays for the cake, and the baker opens a box to pack it for carrying.
The customer says, "Don't bother with that; I'll just eat it here."
