The popularity of the cupcake is indisputable. Perhaps its their generosity in saying "this is for you alone," perhaps it is their shape in that crinkly paper, perhaps they bring out the child in us all. Whatever the reason, cupcakes are among our favorite foods. In 500 Cupcakes, the national preference for cupcakes is fueled by seeing their limitless variety. Chef and author Fergal Connolly states, " You can steam some mixtures to make dense, moist desserts, like bread pudding. You can make other cupcakes using the no-bake method, in which you spoon a mixture of melted and dry ingredients into cupcake molds and chill or leave them to set." Whether frosted or unfrosted (call them muffins), we all love cupcakes.
Among the variety of cupcakes you will find Fragrant & Spiced Cupcakes, Chocolate Cupcakes because we are all secret chocoholics, Decadent Cupcakes (the most luxurious), Muffins, Cupcakes for kids with decorations or colors or shapes that will delight the younger set, Cupcakes for Special Occasions for every holiday from a St. Patrick's cupcake that even contains potato to Easter Egg Nests, Birthday Cupcakes, an assortment for the 4th of July and certainly for Christmas.
