The term may have been first used to describe Jillian Venters, the Lady of the Manners, who has been a featured GotW (and, as an aside, who was also the inspiration for Gilly of Dork Tower fame). As I recall the story, she was at a Convergence (the net.goth convention) in Portland, and one of the attendees said that, with her pink and black style, she looked like a cupcake. Jilly really liked that and ran with it.
Pink and black is a style I refer to as "cupcake goth" and it works really, really well on a lot of women.

DeleteI second cupcake goth. But Elfic looks good in pretty much whatever she wears.
