Cupcakes are the rage here in the U.S. Here's my take on it as a consumer. It must taste good.

Sounds like a joke, but I'm actually serious. Some are too sweet, not moist enough, good but I can make it too, etc. Although it's $3, $4 a pop, I would buy it if it's something it's something extremely good that I can't easily make at home. Don't underestimate a very good chocolate or strawberry cupcake. And as Bruce said, presentation is also important although I notice that many people don't even eat it.
Yours, by the way, are pretty. Too bad I don't live nearby otherwise I'd give you a taste test review.
