Hosting A Great Party With Cupcakes In Pasadena

By Michelle Howe


Everyone loves cake and there are more than enough varieties to choose from. Cupcakes in Pasadena are a delicious treat that can be enjoyed at any time. Cup cakes are made using the same cake batter as the regular sized version, but baked in individual liners. These fluted liners are typically made from very thin aluminum foil or paper.

Most people want to have plenty of basic vanilla and chocolate cup cakes to offer their guest. However, there are so many more to consider. Home made carrot cake is moist and tasty, especially after being topped with a thick layer of cream cheese frosting. Seasonal favorites also include zucchini based treats. These have the advantage of offering some fiber and typically contain less fat. They are the perfect option for those who are watching their weight and trying to cut down on calories.

Small gourmet bakeries are springing up all over the country. They are catering to the desire for a small treat that is just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth, but not on the scale of a full sized cake. The individual sized cakes are really perfect for any day of the week. One of the other huge advantages is that everyone can select their own favorite flavor. Parents may want to try something a little different such as a raspberry cup cake with Chambord liquor for additional flavor, whilst the kids will most likely choose a traditional chocolate or vanilla.

Those who are watching their fat and sugar intake can ask about cup cakes with all the taste, but not so many calories. People can also add some fiber to their diet by choosing a carrot or zucchini cup cake. There are also gluten and dairy free options for those on a special diet. Practically any accommodation can be made as long as the client discusses it with the baker ahead of time.

Parties are the perfect occasion for some cup cakes. It might be a birthday or even a wedding, but some custom made cup cakes of different flavors is a great idea. Many people choose five or six different flavors so that every one can try at least two or three different ones.

Gourmet cup cakes are a wonderful option as they allow for some real creativity. A good Pasadena bakery will use only the highest quality ingredients. A client can discuss the options directly with the baker and try some samples to see which they like the best. Some of the most popular include tiramisu and cappuccino. With their rich taste and light texture these cup cakes are really special.

The are so many great recipes to try. When time is short a packet mix works out well. But to create something really good most people need to start from scratch. Using only fresh ingredients and measuring carefully is the key to success. Fresh orange or lemon juice and grated rind add a delicious fresh taste and a lite texture.

Frosting and garnish are not just finishing touches but an integral part of cupcakes in Pasadena. There are endless varieties and plenty of opportunity for being creative. Taste and style are always in fashion, and apply just as much to cup cakes as to anything else.
