Hi, my name is Amanda Oakleaf. I am owner, head baker, decorator of Amanda Oakleaf Cakes
in Winford, Massachusetts, where we do cupcakes, custom cakes, wedding cakes, birthda cakes,
anything you can think of, we can make it into a cake. And today, I will be talking
to you about baking cupcakes. Cupcakes are different from cake in a couple of ways. One
is that they bake a lot faster. They're in individual little cups, and they bake faster
in the oven, so if you're in a time crunch, they really work well. It also works well
for kids' birthdays. There's less cleanup, less hassle. When serving a large tiered cake
at an event, such as a wedding, you'd have to cut every slice, clean the knife, take
care of the crumbs, put it on a plate. But if you have cupcakes, you can just, you know,
hand one out to everybody, and then it's just the throw-away wrapper, it's a lot cleaner
process. People really love cupcakes because they're an individual dessert, it's something
that's theirs, and you can even personalize them, you can decorate them, you can do custom
flavors, and it's an individual dessert for every one of your guests. And you can also
do them as favors to take home. You can get little individual boxes, and the cupcake can
be a wedding favor. And people really love cupcakes because they are that, they're a
favor, they're an individual dessert that can be personalized, and something that is
yours and you can take with you.
