Do You Like Cupcakes and Make them Yourself?

I love cupcakes but it's not that popular around here. We have some here but it doesn't have a lot of varieties for us to choose from, so I tend to make them myself. What about you? Do you like them? Do you make them on your own?

I do not like cupcakes. I do not dislike them either. They are something that I will eat on a rare occasion, but not something I would go out of my way to make. I do like to make muffins sometimes though. I was thinking about making so blackberry muffins later.

Sometimes I do think muffins and cupcakes are sort of the same thing *laughs*, they are so much alike!

I like cupcakes a lot and I making them! I like putting pink frosting and sprinkles on my cupcakes to make them look extra cute. I don't really make them that often because I'm the only one who likes them a lot at my house. The ones in the bakery section and the grocery store aren't too bad but I like mine better. I have a little book of all different designs of cupcakes you can make. It's really interesting what they came up with in the book, some of the designs are so cool!

I like cupcakes but i would not say they are my faveourite, i prefer butterfly cakes. I would probably make them myself, but i'd be more liely to bake some other sweet treat that i like more!

I came across the butterfly one before in a book, that looks really neat.

Yes, I used to be a MidWestern "farm gal" so making cupcakes was sort of mandatory. I like cupcakes better than a slice of cake because of the portion control, and they are very easy to make, muffins too! Of course, I healthy them up by using a little whole grain and adding stuff like grated carrot or chunks of fruit, and of course substituting whole grain flour for part of the bleached wheat.

Yea! It's definitely better than a slice of cake! It's that wholeness that gives us the content "ahhhh" feeling! *smiles*

Hello wondericequeen, I don't really like them but sometimes, I will buy them for my son. He loves cupcakes very much but he gets bored easily with the same flavor. I decided to make it myself so that my son will have different type of cupcakes whenever he feels like having them.

I love cup cakes. I really love cupcakes when they are arranged to look like something those are so neat. It is not hard to make cupcakes but I have not made them in a long time I have been just buying them already made at the store I know I cheat.

Buying is more convenient! But sometimes I think making them are fun too, it really depends if life is too hectic *laughs*.

Yes. I like cupcakes, especially fudge-y chocolate cakes and carrot cake cupcakes. I always make them myself from scratch so they're healthier (less sweetener and processed ingredients) and fresher.

I do like cupcakes. People just seem to get the biggest thrill out of having a cupcake. It's like their very own little cake, I guess. I used to make them quite a bit, but I haven't made them in a long, long time. Your discussion makes me want to bake some...

I like cupcakes? But they have more sugar and are not as healthy as making cornbread ones with blueberries baked in!
