Marissa Mayer: "I've never been in the cupcake business; I just like to bake them"
Google VP Marissa Mayer likes cupcakes, we learned in Julian Guthrie's profile of her for San Francisco magazine. Mayer likes them so much that the Google exec once created a spreadsheet to maintain a detailed record of the ingredients that go into her favorites. Mayer is not, however, in the cupcake business, she corrects KQED's Michael Krasny in this clip. She's in the cake-sculpting business, thank you very much. Krasny was likely alluding to Mayer's investment in San Francisco art-bakery I Dream of Cake. Mayer, dubbed "Googirl" by San Francisco, is really into frosting: "Vanilla fudge is my favorite. It gives you brain euphoria," she told the magazine.

Google blog link to "Googirl" story killed
After Marissa Mayer announced Google Health on Google's blog, Capital Valley blogger Andrew Feinberg linked to the post in a reponse titled "Google Health is Frightening." Per usual, a link to Feinberg's post appeared in the trackbacks under Mayer's post. For a time. But soon Feinberg noticed his trackback disappeared. In fact, all the trackback links were gone. Feinberg told a CNET reporter, who in turn asked Google PR what happened. Soon the links were back. Now Feinberg wonders if Mayer nixed the trackbacks due to his critical commentary. We're skeptical. The more likely culprit? A link to Cade Metz's story in The Register headlined "'Googirl' unloads on Google Health: A seminal moment." Just like Feinberg's story, Metz's story links to Google's post. But unlike Feinberg's, it's still not to be found in the trackbacks.

Googate: It's all our fault
Google's cupcake princess, Marissa Mayer, it must be said, runs the part of the company that actually matters: the search engine. She recently made a huge adjustment to search results to favor recent content. So I'm sure it took her about 150 milliseconds to realize, from wherever she happened to be sitting or standing at TED this afternoon, that creeps Googling for "googirl" would for a very long time find San Francisco magazine's profile of her in the top slot, thanks to a link from us that outranks the Urban Dictionary. Which is why it's gone now. You know, the worst part of this job isn't the cheap shots from sad-assed journalists who wish they could post this stuff. It's knowing that we'll never, ever, ever get invited to the Four Seasons for cupcakes now. (Photo from Mel's Kitchen)

"Googirl" article vanishes from Web
115,000 copies of San Francisco magazine, on newsstands throughout the city, name Marissa Mayer as Google's "Googirl." But on the Web, the article has gone missing. Could the editors have belatedly Googled "googirl"? The 13-page profile has been reposted with the humdrum headline "The adventures of Marissa." Boring. They could at least have gone with "Marissa explains it all." Any other suggestions for a replacement headline?

Marissa Mayer not really that kinky
I tried not to go there, really I did: San Francisco magazine's profile of Google cupcake princess Marissa Mayer is titled "Googirl". I'm guessing they didn't actually Google "googirl" before publishing. But if Marissa really is Google's googirl? You go, girl.
