New York, NY (PRWEB) July 14, 2008 -- Cake is great. Pie is pleasing. But if you really want to see someone's face light up with child-like delight, give them a single-serving cupcake.

These individual cakes make you nostalgic for an age when "baking" meant mudpies and licking the beater was the best part of cooking. Craving rich and decadent cupcakes? Or the light and fluffy variety? Need vegan, low-fat, or gluten-free recipes? They're all here. Grab your muffin tin and start perusing the online galleries and cookbooks -- being a kid again has never been so tasty.
