Cupcakes are soooo last season

chocolate layer cakeIt was a fever that burned deep in our stomachs, evidenced by space on bakery shelves, entire specialty stores dedicated to the things, books, and even blogs focused on only one thing: cupcakes.

But it seems now that we've gotten our fill. Or rather, the tiny little things just weren't enough to satisfy us because there is now an rising trend back toward full cakes, standing tall with lots of layers alternating with decadent fillings. If bakeries around Los Angeles are any indication, these cakes are going beyond just traditional chocolate cakes and red velvet cake frosted with cream cheese. They run the gamut from funky twists on carrot cake to sophisticated cakes lightly spiced with cardamom.

If you bake one, I'll take a slice!

Cakes are great but cupcakes are just so easy at a party that I still favor them. No worrying about how bit a slice or anything each person simply takes as many cupcakes as they want...

They're delicious, and decorative, and just fun to have around. They're very easy to make and with cupcakes you have variety. I wouldn't say I'd choose cupcakes over cakes. I'd say they work well together.
