Perfect single serving. Cupcakes are small cakes made to feed just one person, baked right in their own paper or aluminum cup so they're easy to handle and eat.

Built-in wrapper. The paper or aluminum cup that cupcakes bake in isn't just for cooking, it stays on the cupcake to make it neat and portable, so your hands stay clean.

Canvas for creativity. Cupcakes can be decorated with frosting, icing, sprinkles, fresh fruit, candy, and all sorts of toppings, making them perfect for parties and special celebrations.

Different names worldwide. In Britain they're called fairy cakes, in Ireland they're called buns, and in America they're called cupcakes, but they're all the same delicious treat.

Like tiny cakes. Cupcakes are made with the same ingredients and baked the same way as regular layer cakes, just in much smaller portions.
