5 Examples of Cupcake/Cake Synergy

Yes, this blog's tagling is "All Cupcakes, All The Time."

But we also know that sometimes at events, a cake is simply needed, whether for presentation, because it's requested, or, in many cases, because it complements the cupcakes and vice versa. Together, they create a theme that couldn't have been achieved using only one or the other.

These make me want to have a party just so I could go all out and have cupcakes and a cake with a special theme!

Here are 5 examples of cakes and cupcakes that go perfectly together:
