Cupcakes!

One of my very favorite things to make and decorate is cupcakes. There are endless combinations of flavors and designs to make them, and it's fun to be creative and make new flavor or design combinations, and of course, eating them! Cupcakes are essentially the same as cake, just put into different molds, so the recipes to make cupcakes vary greatly (just like the ones for cakes), and it's important to choose a recipe that is simple and not too time consuming to make when making cupcakes, because it requires more work to put the cakes into molds. For instance, it may be difficult to make sponge cake cupcakes because sponge cake is leavened using whipped egg whites, and the longer you wait, the more your cake will deflate. It would be difficult, but possible, to make cupcakes like this because it takes much longer to put the batter into molds, so it is important to consider factors like this before baking. The type of cake as well as flavorings and design are very important things to consider when making the "perfect" cupcake.
