:-S :-S :-S

Really confused now, I thought:

Fairy Cakes = posh buns with icing
Butterfly cakes = buns that rise, top cut & stuck into a blob of butter icing
Cup cakes = buns that do not rise, topped with fondant icing to fill up the case
Muffins = big un- iced buns

I thought they were small sponge cakes.

I hate cup cakes ..................


far too sweet

some of them look absolutely disgusting

full of hot air (to make them rise)

too fluffy

very trendy .............. and hopefully a trend that will soon disappear.



A CupCakes shop opened here last year that makes cupcakes for ......................... DOGS :-0 :-0 :-0



I used to like fairy cakes and butterfly cakes



But if you think your cupcakes are too sweet and sickly ......... you should taste the ones over here. Everything is usually much sweeter over here :-P

I shall look at edible cupcakes with a very different eye from now on!!!

My eyes have been opened wide by looking for the meaning of cupcakes :-0 :-0 :-0


don't think I will ever wish in future that I could even try one




Makes one wonder how words are used and adapted to other meanings!

SylviaInCanada - when I googled "cupcakes" I found out a lot of interesting information.
I wonder whether cupcakes are a geographical thing.
Are they, for example, popular in Wales?

My nana used to make horrible cupcakes.

Hi Errol

I think cupcakes are a world wide thing now .......

...... but these recent horrible gigantic ones, and the trend to develop ever more of them, originated in the US

My mum used to make fairy cakes .......... in Lancashire.

I used to try to make them ............... but I'm not a very good baker. My strengths lie elsewhere ;-)

Oh my goodness. Fairy cakes to cupcakes, cup cake kits and butterfly cake kits. A friend of mine told me she had bought a cup cake maker, I just didn't have the interest to ask what it was. I mean, whoever can't mix some butter, sugar, eggs and flour together. And now I read about baking sheets becoming cookie sheets.
Well I guess it must have happened around the same time as blenders became smoothie makers!!! Why do we have to be so American? :-0 :-0

I love old fashioned cakes, there's a bakers near me sells Russian cake, battenburg (much nicer than the branded ones in supermarkets) and cauliflower cakes - they're a sponge bun with cream on top, encased in green marzipan leaves.
