Although we think Michael’s Desserts and his charitable mission is delightful and encouraging, he has encountered naysayers who think cupcakes don’t end hunger.
“In my opinion a cupcake can do a lot!” he wrote on Instagram. “I’ve seen a cupcake inspire smiles, tears, amazement, joy, satisfaction, happiness and other private emotions that I won’t share out of respect for people’s dignity. I’ve passed a cupcake to someone sitting with all their possessions in a shopping cart and had them tell me that this one simple act gave them hope…That’s why I give away cupcakes.
