Just me? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2436071 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 12:17:13 +0000 looch 2436071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cupcakes, decorated as a cake! They're basically just a single layer of cupcakes, placed close together, and iced/decorated like a cake, so you get the presentation of the cake but the ease of serving of cupcakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2436070 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 12:14:24 +0000 Meowkers 2436070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did cupcakes and cake pops for DD's birthday and both were a huge hit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2436022 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 11:29:09 +0000 Alivoo01 2436022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like/prefer cakes.

Kids birthday parties, I like cake. There's something neat about the presentation of a big cake compared to cupcakes. DS #1 likes cupcakes for occasional cake fun. For big events like birthdays and baptisms, the big cake is a hit with our crowd. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2435938 Mon, 25 Jan 2016 10:37:40 +0000 snowjewelz 2435938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Either is fine with my, as long as it's yummy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2435063 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 10:54:31 +0000 Corduroy 2435063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I find cupcakes easier to serve but way messier than eating cake with a utensil. I think we'll do mini cupcakes with minimal frosting for LOs 3rd birthday at a playplace. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2435060 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 10:49:42 +0000 MoonMoon 2435060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cupcakes can be prettier but cake tastes better. More inside (moist) to outside (overbaked) ratio! And a more sane frosting to cake ratio. I guess I have strong feelings about this, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2435036 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 10:13:00 +0000 erinbaderin 2435036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did Bennett's party yesterday and had both - I couldn't decide between Cookie Monster and Elmo so I didn't! I got my mom to make them, though. If I had to do it myself I'm not sure I would have been so ambitious. </p> [attach=6329/16/o1gq9o.450x600.image.jpeg] [attach=6329/16/o1gq9q.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434990 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 09:07:00 +0000 catomd00 2434990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do both - cake for the adults and cupcakes for the kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434981 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 08:57:53 +0000 sleepybear 2434981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like decorating cakes more (although it takes more time) but cupcakes are so much easier to pass out and to bring places. I like the idea of a little cake for the birthday kid and cupcakes for the rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434975 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 08:53:07 +0000 jhd 2434975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aprild: good point! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434974 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 08:52:22 +0000 jhd 2434974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do mini cupcakes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434973 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 08:51:51 +0000 cat620 2434973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like cupcakes, because they are easier to serve, and everyone gets the same thing (no worrying about slices being too big/small or someone wanting a corner vs. middle piece). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434969 Sun, 24 Jan 2016 08:48:38 +0000 autumnlove 2434969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cake </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434809 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 22:26:03 +0000 pastemoo 2434809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: i don't love cake<br /> but i LOVE ice-cream cake, so i say cake. it's also easier to make and no 100 million cake wrappers to clean up </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434806 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 22:23:33 +0000 hellocupcake 2434806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I ALWAYS do both. I think cupcakes are just logistically easier all around. But I can't imagine not having a birthday cake. I make a small 4 inch cake for DD. </p> <p>Cupcakes are easier to make in different flavors, and we make the cake whatever flavor I'm in the mood for since we'll end up eating it throughout the next few days. &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434796 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 22:10:41 +0000 regberadaisy 2434796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@AggieDaze: haha I love your logic.</p> <p>I'm definitely doing cupcakes for the party. But trying to decide if I will bake her a small cake for the party or just let her blow it out on a cupcake. She will *definitely* be getting cake on her birthDAY! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434782 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 21:53:20 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2434782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cupcakes are definitely easier for feeding small children! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cupcakes-or-cake#post-2434758 Sat, 23 Jan 2016 21:20:31 +0000 MamaCate 2434758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cupcakes for ease of feeding small children!
