Thanks for clarifying mcelromi1. As I stated earlier, I too think it's great that she found a way to market the item. Royal icing roses come to mind now...I know they're sold everywhere but dang, that's one thing I would love to sit around and make all day and be able to sell them...oh yeah.

Maybe she is patenting the recipe, but I didn't think you could do that either? I don't know, sounds weird.



I don't know about patenting a recipe, but you can copyright it. The ingredients for it are not copyrighted, but the directions to put it together are.

These are definitely targeted at the time pressed non-decorator. I have had Cupcake Caps at several events. They allow someone who is not a stellar decorator to have a beautiful dessert that matches the theme (e.g. football parties, baby showers, etc.). Fancy cupcakes from local bakeries are more expensive than these so it is also an affordable way to go upscale. Even better, you can make more than one kind of cupcake so people can choose to eat what they want while keeping the look uniform. While I don't know what they are made of, they are tasty. However, as a poster above pointed out, there are people who prefer to peel them off, lick the frosting off the back and eat the rest of the cupcake. I even know one person who doesn't like cake & just eats the Cupcake Cap!

I used these cupcake caps for my daughter's b-day party about 6 months ago. I'm a busy mom and not skilled at cake decorating. I wanted something different then my usual messy homemade cake or a store-bought cake. We chose the pearly pink (which is a bit sparkly), with a flower stamped in the middle, and put them on strawberry cupcakes.

The kids LOVED them. The moms wanted to know where I got them b/c they were such a hit!

These are a great idea for busy moms like me who want a bit of homemade with a finished, unique touch. TRY them before dismissing them!!

I think these look okay and do fill a need if people are pressed for time and have lots of money.

What I don't understand is why bother making a cupcake to put them on. What if they don't compliment your cupcake flavour?

What if they taste nasty to you and nice to another?

If you are going to spend a dollar on a cupcake cap why not just buy a whole cupcake.

Why cover your own homemade cupcake with a plastic looking manufactured topping?

How about using gumpaste to make your own cap mold and then just cutting out your fondant circles and pressing them into your gp mold yourself, cheaper in the long run.

I guess the only benefit these have is they save time and cover up your lovely homemade cupcake if you mess up the frosting yourself!

Two raving reviews in a row of a rare product, both by newbies that just joined the same day....each with only one post. . . on this thread and no other?

Interesting.....

They look like they are made in some sort of candy melt mold.
I don't know. I'll stick to my good ole icing to die for on my cupcakes.

I like the idea, and too wish I had thought of it first. Not everyone can do everything. I am sure their target is busy people in a time crunch, and they fit that population just great. I have never seen them until today, but to each his own.

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out. My thoughts instantly.

I personally do not want to eat anything which will last forever. Give me something with real cream or butter in it which goes bad if you don't eat it right away.

It just makes me want to try it less....I don't like the deception. I would prefer a "hey, this is my company..I'd be happy to answer some q's about my product."


I didn't think of the bad aspect of it lasting forever...ew. Though it doesn't stop me from eating Mickey D's fries!

Brooke here.

CupcakeCaps.com is mine.

Those "rave" posts are not mine. They are actual customers (and they both have pics on the scrapbook page of the website).

For all the nice things that were said, during this post, thank you.

For all the not so nice things... well... I guess everyone has on opinion.
: )

These are mostly targeted at the non-decorator although we occasionally fill wholesale orders for caterers and other foodie types.

At the end of the day, isn't it all about making something yummy and pretty that people enjoy? I know that's my goal.

Cheers to all,
Brooke
