Cupcake vs. Cake

Vanilla-cinnamon cupcakes with chocolate ganache frosting.

I know people who are really huge cupcake fans. They will go out of their way to obtain a cupcake. They will pay lots of money for designer cupcakes at expensive fufu-cupcake stores. I can appreciate their enthusiasm for I too believe that a good cupcake can be glorious. I also enjoy making cupcakes. However, I prefer cake. I will always choose having a cake over a cupcake. I prefer the visual impact of a large, full-fledged, layered cake, and the lack of portion control. When it comes to a good cake, bigger IS better.
