For the Love of Cupcakes

Cupcakes. They are magical. As consumers of the cupcake, they bring us back to our innocent days of childhood where birthdays and holidays were celebrated by playing games, swimming at friends’ houses, having water balloon fights, and of course eating cupcakes. Our eyes grow as the sweetly decorated little cakes arrive on the scene. The sweet smell of icing, the vivid colors of the sprinkles all tantalizing our senses as we await the yummy goodness that we are about the taste when we take our first bite. The wrappers on the cupcakes are mere paper barriers just waiting to get peeled away. And once removed, the moist cake coated in creamy frosting remind us of the simple joy a cupcake can bring to our mind, body and soul.

And let us not forget the inevitable plan of attack. How do you get the perfect bite? Do you want the cake and the frosting to be consumed in one bite, causing you to open your mouth as wide as possible so you can get that ultimate taste combination? Or do you pull your cupcake apart, giving way to uneven proportions of cake to frosting, but allowing you to indulge one bite at a time in each of the two mouth watering elements?


Either way you slice it, cupcakes are a magical dessert for both the young and the young at heart. They open the door to numerous combinations of flavors and decorative styles. They serve as a great treat at any fair, from weddings to showers (both bridal and baby) to birthdays. And as fun and enjoyable as they are to eat, cupcakes are just as fun to make. So with this all being said here are some of the cupcakes that I have made over the years. So for the love of cupcakes, go out and bake or buy one for yourself today!
