2012 Youth Together Event - Cupcakes: Cakes Made By ME - Coordination: A Monique Affair - Photography: Adeline & Grace Photography
We are all aware of the cupcake craze. You see them everywhere from a review on the Today Show, to cameos on Martha Stewart, even Oprah has covered them. Under normal circumstances, their fifteen minutes would have been over by now, but they continue to hold a place on our radar because they themselves continue to evolve. These single serving heavenly confections began their career by making appearances at our classmate birthday parties in grade school, and their growing popularity have now earned them a spot on the guest list at all the top events, from birthdays and weddings, to charity events. With good reason we discuss a few characteristics of the new cupcake, which helps explain why we can’t get enough of them.
The Homemade Cupcake
The homemade cupcake kicked off the cupcake trend when it got a make-over. Long gone are the days of box mix cupcakes and store bought frosting. The homemade cupcake is now made from scratch using the finest ingredients. Frosting can be silky smooth or textured and chunky, and is now often accompanied by delicious garnishes like Oreo cookies, peanut butter cups, or cinnamon and sugar. They are simple and very vintage.

The Floral Inspired Cupcake
Cupcakes are no longer plain Jane. We’ve realized that our pastry tips are not just for decorating cakes anymore. This is why we love the current flower cupcake trend. Cupcakes are now not just delicious bites, they are also pretty to look at and their new look has a way of making guests happy. Flower cupcakes are also very useful, they enhance the decorative concept of wedding showers, engagement parties and weddings. They look great, are easy to handle and taste fantastic.
