Cupcakes for party?

Question

We are throwing my brother a party for achieving his CPA license and we are also going to make it a birthday celebration as well.

I am going to do the deserts, since it's all adults, are cupcakes appropriate?

Or should it be a more "grown up" dessert?

I am thinking of making 6 different kind, 3 classic, yellow, chocolate and strawberry and 3 a little different, red velvet, carrot, and gingerbread.

Yes, no?

Cookies instead? Brownies?

By the way he is turning 26, lots of highschool, and college friends will be there in addition to family friends and colleagues.

It's a surprise, so I can't ask him ;)

Answer 1

Congratulations to your brother!! (my dad was a CPA)...that test is alot harder than some legal & medical exams:) ....  Cupcakes are the new "in" & trendy dessert!  All the Hollywood celebrities are buying cupcakes at Sprinkles now:) ....  You can get cupcake "trees" (stands) at craft stores (Michael's, Hobby Lobby - probably Walmart), that look really nice on the table, and you'll get alot of use out of them in the future.......

Answer 2

I’m a huuuuge cupcake fan. I keep inundating my  friends with batches of cupcakes (I made upwards of 30 in last week - admittedly, it was for a party.. They went down an absolute storm!). Am definitely going to try out different recipes a shot, they look yummy!! this is really in now....they even have wedding cup cakes and they are just so cute....and I would stick with the cookies!!!! Good Luck....

Cupcakes are very much the in thing for adults and children. In fact, many people are doing cupcakes now for wedding cakes. There are some pretty display stands available as well. Try you local department or craft store in the wedding or cake decorating ailse or check out the wilton website. Sounds like fun.

Answer 5

I don't think you should have six different flavors of cupcakes maybe one or two kinds of cup cakes

here is a good recipe you could look at:

Answer 6

Cupcakes are no longer "just for kids"... otherwise there wouldn't be a cupcake store in Beverly Hills charging nearly $4 a pop for them....

Cupcakes are awesome! Each one is a serving, so you don't have to worry about how to cut it... you don;t need a plate to eat them either.

YES! On all the flavors too!

BTW the place in B.H. is Sprinkles
