Rejoice: these delicious bagels are actually delicious cupcakes!

No matter how much you love bagels -- and around here, we love them a lot -- there's a dark truth you must concede: they are not made out of cake & frosting. But no longer must we suffer, because today, the deviant baker behind Reality Bites Cupcakes has righted that horrid culinary wrong. Behold: bagel cupcakes.

... or hold the "meat" if you're trying to lose weight. (Though if that's the case, you probably shouldn't eat these at all, because again: they're cupcakes.)
