Save yourself the trouble of having to cut and serve a cake at your next party by serving cupcakes. Cupcakes are a huge hit for many reasons, but they really are a very practical dessert to serve. It can take a while to cut and serve cake to a large group of people (trust me, I know!). Consider serving cupcakes when hosting a large birthday party, shower or other event where cake is the norm. Streamlining dessert means more time for you to enjoy the party.
