I often get requests for cupcakes at birthday parties because they are so much easier to serve.  The one down side, however, is that the birthday boy or girl doesn’t get a “real” cake to celebrate with.  One alternative is to provide standard cupcakes for the entire party and then add a 4 inch round cake for the guest of honor.

Number of cupcakes: 7
Type: standard cupcake and 4 inch personal cake
Flavor: vanilla cake with buttercream and fondant
Event Location:  McLean, VA
