Business in Cupcakes: At a bakery that I studied I found that cupcakes seel for around 50 cents each and are one of the top sellers right behind sheet cakes. The type of cupcakes that is most popular is a marble cupcake with buttercream icing and sprinkles on top. The bakeries don't have to make the actually cupcakes now, they just come in a box that has them already premade so all the bakers have to do is decorate them. Decorating them usually takes about 10 minutes to do, but it needs to look good in order to get good sales. A popular sale in bakeries for the past three years are cupcake pull-aparts, which is 24 cupcakes clustered together with a design on top that creates a design that pulls apart into cupcakes.

 My Cupcakes: In my studies I look at 4 different ways to get cupcakes. One was to make them from scratch, another was to make it from a box, a third was to buy them from the store, and the last was to get them from a bakery.
