5 Cupcake Benefits 

Yep, read 'em and believe 'em here...

Versatility: They give the opportunity to serve a table with desserts designed in different styles and satisfying various tastes. They can be personalized and themed. Cupcakes can be dressed up for any occasion.
Make Ahead for Any Occasion: Cupcakes can be baked and kept in an airtight container or zip lock bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. (Icing can be frozen too! Make sure you bring icing back to room temperature before spreading it on a cupcake.)
Less Stress: Anyone can make them. They aren’t terribly complicated to make. When you feel like baking your own quick, but delicious dessert, you can make cupcakes. It’s hard to mess up a cupcake. If one batch goes astray, there’s usually plenty of batter to try again. And if you need to transport the baked goods, cupcakes are easier than driving with a towering, three-layer cake on the back seat of your car.
Less Waste: You won’t be stuck with an awkward leftover chunk of cake or messy cake plate to clean. Simply toss the cupcake liners (or pop sticks) in the trash for cleanup. You can deliver leftover cupcakes to co-workers or neighbors, or store in the freezer for your next occasion.
Portion Control: Cupcakes have a portion control factor built in. There’s no decision to make of how big of a piece of cake you should cut. It’s already taken care of for you. Cupcakes are portable and easy to serve to a big gathering of people. Everyone gets an equal share. It’s truly a treat, and one cupcake is certainly enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Cup O' Trivia

However large they loom on the scale of modern food fun, the diminutive cupcake is relatively new on the food scene. They first came on the baking scene about 200 years ago. Cupcakes got their name from one or both of two sources: (1) from the fact that they were baked in actual cups or ramekins, (2) from the fact that cups were used to measure their ingredients during baking.

The traditional pound cake recipe was easy to remember for its pound of butter, a pound of sugar, a pound of flour, and a pound of eggs. Likewise, the name “cupcake” came from how the recipe was measured (1 cup butter, 2 cups sugar, 3 cups flour, and 4 eggs…). Classic cakes use the same recipes as cupcakes; the only differences are one comes out in cups and the baking time is reduced.

When cupcake pans were first created, they required both a greasing agent (for release of the cake) and flour (so the cupcake could climb the sides as it baked). The cupcake liner now functions as both, as well as a handy way to hold the cupcake while eating!

Success Notes 

You’ll have better results if you bake with spirits worthy of drinking on their own. Some of the alcohol burns off while making these cupcakes. However, it will not all burn off. There is also a little bit in the frosting too, so please serve responsibly.

Alcohol can make the frosting separate, so beat the butter until fluffy first, then slowly add the powdered sugar before adding your spirits. You can also add more powdered sugar after you add the spirits, if your frosting becomes too thin.
