Once a staple of every child's birthday party, cupcakes are today experiencing popularity like never before. The retro appeal of cupcakes is paired with sophisticated modern flavors and fillings like espresso, green tea, passion fruit, Meyer lemon, and fleur de sel with chocolate or caramel. Baked in muffin tins, these mini individual cakes are best enjoyed soon after they are baked, as they dry out faster than regular-size cakes. We're betting you won't have a hard time obliging.
