I think it depends on the party: like where it is, what type of event it is, etc. Since it's warm outside and most of the parties I've attended were backyard events, I like hamburgers, hotdogs and bbq for the meal. I prefer cupcakes for dessert, since I think they are easier to eat.

I love cake and cupcakes equally. And all kinds of food is yummy depending on the season/time of day, etc. Mac n cheese, cheese tray, veggies and dip, cookies, fresh fruit, dips, etc.

At a summer backyard type deal, I like a cold pasta salad or grain salad like tabbouli, especially with a cheese or a protein in it like chickpeas so that its pretty complete. I also like things on skewers, like tomato basil mozzarella sticks, chicken tenders with peanut sauce, or cheese and salami/ham/turkey. I also like cold fruit like watermelon or strawberries. Crostini is also good and easy - just slice and toast baguettes brushed with olive oil ahead of time and serve with a big bowl of bruschetta topping or spinach artichoke dip in a crockpot. Or just logs of goat cheese and wedges of brie with a bowl of jam. Guac and salsa with chips is an easy standby.

I think cupcakes are easier to eat but I think cake is just fine. An easy medium might be sliced poundcake, whipped topping, chocolate sauce, and sliced berries and let everyone serve themselves.

We just had our little guy's birthday party yesterday. I find people eat nachos the most!

I like cupcakes better than cake as a host, you don't have to deal with cutting a dessert!

I tend to like things that I can eat while standing, without utensils, while at a party, if I eat at all.

Will there be kids / is it a kids party? If so - I also prefer finger foods / apps that don't require holding and maintaining a plate the whole time!

Chips. All.Day. And I'm not picky about what form my cake is in
