Cupcakes have been around for a long time, and mainly on the past be used as a fun thing for parents and child to make together, but now they are a versatile food that can be used in many different occasions. From weddings to birthday parties the cupcake provides a relatively simple (to make) base for some exciting variations.
Here are a few ideas.
Cupcakes can be used for wedding cakes. Couples are using wedding cupcakes to replace the traditional wedding cake. A glass shelving structure is used to build the cupcakes into a 'wedding cake shape'. The great things about this is that each guest can get their own individual cake. The down side is depending on how detailed each cake is detailed, it can be very time consuming to decorate each - however, for that special day, we think that it s worth the effort!
Cowboy and Indians themed birthday party. As a large batch of plain cupcakes can be easily made, it is relatively easy to then split them into several batches and then ice them differently to reflect those that are dressed as cowboys and those that are dressed as Indians. In addition to this, this is a great tactic if you and your friends are watching a big sporting event with two rival teams - the cupcakes can reflect the team colours!
Sports cupcakes. I have previously made healthy cupcakes where I have included, raisins, banana and nuts to provide an energy boosting pre-sports snack. The great thing about these was that cupcakes are easy to store and transport so they can easily be taken to the actual event.
As you can seen, the humble cupcake base as many applications, and really is only limited by your imagination. Have fun with them and experiment, they are fairly cheap to make so it is not he end of the world if a batch doesn't quite work out and has to end up in the bin!
