picking up a cupcake

The act of trying to hit on a minor. The term symbolizes the manipulation and exploitation of the target, likening them to, well, a cupcake, that is taken advantage of by someone with ill intentions.

This term was coined after an infamous incident where YouTuber EDP445 was caught in a sting operation where he thought he'd be meeting up with a 13-year-old girl. When confronted about why he was there, he responded with, "Well, I was actually coming out here to pick up a cupcake, and then go back home."

Person 1: "Did you hear about that guy down the street? He got arrested for picking up a cupcake at the park."
Person 2: "Seriously? That's horrible. I can't believe someone around here would do that."
