Cupcake Queen

A cake is a cake made from flour, sugar, and other ingredients, usually baked. The most commonly used cake ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, butter or oil or margarine, a liquid, and leavening agents, such as baking soda or baking powder. Common flavoring and supplement ingredients include dried, candied, or fresh fruit, nuts, cocoa, and extracts such as vanilla, with many substitutions for the main ingredients. Cakes may also be filled with fruit preserves, nuts, or dessert sauces (such as pastry cream), iced with buttercream or other whipped cream, and garnished with macaroons, a decorative border of cake, or candied fruit.
