Announcing: Cupcakes Spectacular 2008!

I believe that everyone of us has taken cupcakes to be one of many options to entertain, serve, or even make business of. Many cupcakes are made in simple cups, other are in pretty printed paper cases. Many of us serve them iced/frosted, others just love to have them plain, just to enjoy the flavour with a cup of tea or coffee. Elegant tiers of wedding cupcakes are as a central attention can be some soluble improvement, or perhaps a discovery to substitute, maybe replace, the old-fashioned fruit cake. Children party can't be as merry as colourful decorated cupcakes. And there are cupcakes with adult flavour, using your favourite alcohol or some flavourings you yourself adore.

Cupcakes are as easy to make as 1, 2, 3 and they include just simple ingredients that seem every pantry in any households can deal with. As you see, there are many possibilites a little fairy cake can do with only handy ingredients. So, let's make a party of cupcakes, all of us, and help me to make them real! Let's make Spectacular Cupcakes 2008!

Here are things you can do:

• Make and bake your favourite cupcakes using any flavour you wish, any recipe you may find works so well for you. Gluten-free cupcakes and eggless cupcakes are accepted!

• All cupcakes MUST be decorated with any icing/frosting you may find tasty to combine with the base flavour of the cupcakes. You can play around with buttercream, whipped cream, cream cheese, sugarpaste, marzipan, simple icing sugar, fresh fruits, or sprinkle them with your favourite edible glitters or chocolate shavings, all the things your imagination and creative minds can do! Spill your ideas all on to your cupcakes! Make them pretty and edible.

• Take a photo of your cupcakes, make them special as yours is going to be one of the spectacular cupcakes in the world!
