Everyone loves cupcakes. Such a little confection can bring a huge smile to both the young and young at heart. If you need a little something for a birthday, holiday or just a take-a-long to your hostess, a half dozen of cupcakes make the perfect gift.It has never been easier to find cupcakes than it is today. Gourmet bakeries specializing in cupcakes from minis to jumbos have sprung up all over the country. The little, rich, bite sized cakes are displayed like expensive diamonds behind glass but can be yours for just a few bucks a piece.
While you could buy your cupcakes, making them yourself makes the gift even more special. Cupcake making is a quick and easy process even if you don't normally bake. Cupcakes also let you get creative with the flavors and decorations. Some of my favorite are PB&J (yellow cake with grape jelly filling and peanut butter frosting), S'Mores (chocolate cake with marshmallow butter creme and graham cracker dust) and Peanut Butter Cup (chocolate cake with peanut butter frosting). Mix and match or give a pretty box of all one flavor. Add a colorful ribbon and you've got a gift not soon to be forgotten.
