I haven't attended a kids party for a very long time, so don't know if they serve cupcakes, but at parties at school when some students have birthday, they do bring cupcakes for their classmates ( and teachers too), now i know why it is popular for the students to bring to share, they don't have to slice it for their friends :)betchaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04754061874315713589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-55155257097987547722012-07-27T10:32:05.942-07:002012-07-27T10:32:05.942-07:00Glad she had a wonderful birthday party!

Not yet, if I have to have a big party, I definitely will. <br />2. I don't think so. It's not a happy birthday cake. It's a happy birthday to the birthday person :) <br /><br />Happy weekend to you!Colette Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04844522784600855200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-25263828522246479002012-07-27T08:22:07.274-07:002012-07-27T08:22:07.274-07:00I like the idea of the cup cake.

(We don't feel we have to waste time and effort on the fringes of friends the kids don't even like that much, but this is a personal choice). <br /><br />I don't like cake that much. However, I always have cake for the kids and for my husband. He used to buy a cake for me, but since I never eat any of it, he's started to get me apple pies (I like these better). To be honest, not having a cake doesn't make me enjoy my birthday less. I just like to have my family there. <br /><br />I think a person should have whatever they want. It's their birthday and they shouldn't feel bugged down by tradition.Anne Lyken-Garnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01425485414456096031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-9752591762395994622012-07-26T17:06:59.329-07:002012-07-26T17:06:59.329-07:00Yes, we've served cupcakes as a birthday cake ...Yes, we've served cupcakes as a birthday cake alternative and think it's a great idea! One of the things we love about it is that it is automatic portion control built in for those who want to enjoy a treat but are fitness concious! <br /><br />Although I probably prefer a birthday cake, I think that either is find and think the cupcakes are quite trendy!<br /><br />Have a fabulous weekend!Create With Joyhttp://create-with-joy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-68758758495038280912012-07-26T07:28:00.879-07:002012-07-26T07:28:00.879-07:00Cupcake is a great idea for birthday!

I've never done it but if I were doing a birthday party tomorrow cupcakes it would be. Not only does it same time but everyone gets an equal serving. <br /><br />I don't think a tradition is as important as having fun at a birthday party.SquirrelQueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00634513897599275287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810566902374575347.post-48870983896268318112012-07-25T22:02:24.706-07:002012-07-25T22:02:24.706-07:00Gotta be cake!!!!

She had a traditional cake (see the post just prior to the one above with the 2Q's link). <br />A little later we celebrated the mother, our daughter's birthday. We had cupcakes for her. They were a big hit.<br /><br />2. Yes, it would take away.

I think it should be whatever is easy especially when serving dozens of children and whatever the birthday boy or girl likes.
