When a birthday party is somewhere other than a home, it is nice to make cupcakes so that you don’t have to worry about forks and plates. I have found I have been making cupcakes quite a lot lately. Much more than I will make an actual layer cake. Making plain vanilla cupcakes adds a bit of fun because you can add whatever you want to decorate and everything will taste good. Be creative, Have Fun!
