No party is complete without snacks and goodies.  And no matter the type of party you're planning, there is one universal food that can go with pretty much anything - CUPCAKES.

These are the reasons why cupcakes are so 100% party worthy:

• Cupcake are super easy to make.  I am horrible in the kitchen, really really horrible, but even I can't mess up a cupcake.  You don't have to worry about the centers falling in, or if they'll be the right shape, and even frosting can be applied by a total novice.  What's not to love about that?

• Cupcakes require absolutely no cutting before serving.  Just throw them on a table, and your guests can eat at their leisure.


• Cupcakes can come in any flavor imaginable: cherry, coca cola, keylime pie, peach, chocolate, cheesecake, butterfinger......need I go on?  ANY FLAVOR, I tell you.

• Cupcakes can be classy.  We're not talking about your run of the mill, every day, kid birthday party, buy at Walmart, type of cupcakes here.  We're talking about GOURMET cupcakes that not only taste fabulous, but look like a million dollars.  Check for local bakeries or specialty cupcake shoppes - you'll be surprised at the exquisiteness that is the cupcake.

• Cupcakes can be cute.  A cupcake can set the stage for all your cute birthday, baby shower, or any fun get-together.  By using cupcake liners, or printable cupcake wrappers, you can have adorable cupcakes that match any theme.


• Cupcakes can cater to all people.  Some of your guests hate chocolate, and some would die if fed white cake - so you have to make both.  Some of your guests don't like frosting, and some like more frosting than cake - make them both happy.  If you were making real sized cakes all these picky guests would be super obnoxious, but with cupcakes it's easy peasy.

So next time you're planning a birthday party, or even a swanky adult-only party, don't underestimate the power of the cupcake.
