Life Cycle of a Cup Cake
The journey of a cupcake begins from nothing – nothing. The baker first assembles the ingredients required to make the cupcakes. Typically, the key ingredients are multi-purpose flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and milk (just like what’s needed to bake a cake). Added to this are baking powder and essence (most likely vanilla essence). Once the ingredients are assembled, comes the time to put together the other items. Our bakers like to have things handy – they don’t run around getting things. So, once the ingredients are on the table, it’s time to bring out the lining papers, the cup papers, and the cupcake molds. Also, the oven is heated before the batter is mixed.
Preparing the Mix
Now that everything is in place, it’s time for some fun! Depending on the cupcake order, our bakers’mix and match. Sometimes it’s a flower-themed cupcake, sometimes it’s a sports cupcake – our bakers must know beforehand so that the perfect results are achieved every single time.
After whisking the eggs and sugar, folding them into them the dry ingredients make the batter light and fluffy. The batter is allowed to rest for a couple of minutes.
Pouring In the Delight
Once the batter is ready, it’s time to pour them. The cupcake molds are lined with beautiful paper linings! We believe they are important. Depending on the theme of the cupcake, the linings are placed. Onto this, the batter is poured.
Into the Oven
It’s baking time! Time for the delicacies to “rise and shine”! It takes time for a batch of cupcakes to bake but it’s worth a wait. As they bake, our bakers prepare the icing.
Icing Time!
Just like hair and makeup accentuate a person’s beauty, icing and decorations uplift the overall look of a modest vanilla cupcake. We have a bunch of themes in a place like the Superhero Themed Cupcakes or the Baby Shower-themed cupcakes for which we decorate accordingly. It takes time to decorate cupcakes – one by one. It’s all about patience but also a lot of fun!

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Cupcakes like Any Other Cake?
Cupcakes may be called mini versions of cakes as almost the same ingredients are used in both. The difference lies in size and decorations. Cupcakes are for individual consumption while cakes are meant to be shared.
Are Cupcakes and Muffins the Same?
No, they aren’t the same thing. They may look alike but there is a lot of difference. For baking cupcakes, the ingredients are similar to what’s used in cakes but in muffins, a variety of ingredients from oatmeal to whole wheat is used along with fruits.
