Several have piled up in our inbox so we're putting them all out here at once - please leave your answers in the comments section for everyone to see, and shoot us your questions, show off your cupcakes, and let us interview you at cupcakestakethecake at yahoo.com
I don't know if I totally hallucinated this, and just tell me if I'm crazy...but recently did you guys post link to a cupcake carrier that held 2 dozen cupcakes (one dozen on top of the other)? It was a clear plastic container with a black handle, I think. Did I totally imagine this? or see it somewhere else? Do you know what I'm talking about? Remember the link?
I was just taking a look at all the wonderful cupcakes on your website and I was wondering if you had any ideas for making "horse or pony" cupcakes. Any suggestions would be helpful.
I was wondering if you could help me? I am an interior design student in Nebraska and I am designing a cupcake bakery. Here in NE, I am sad to say, we don't have anything close to a cupcake bakery. So I don't have anything to reference as far as design precedents for this type of bakery. For example equipment lists required space ect. I have already
scoured the Internet eating up all of the great images.
What I am asking of you, is if you have any contact information as to who would divulge this type of information to me? I am sure you have run into kind hearted cupcake business owners somewhere, and if you could point me in their direction I would be ever so grateful.
not sure if you guys know this but do you know of any cupcake making or cupcake decorating classes in san Francisco?
Re: Victoria Gotti's cupcakes - Do you know where she get's the cupcakes she loves so much? Can they be ordered??
Any recommendations on where to buy a good cupcake (or three) in Soho?
I wanted to make a large cup cake for my friends son's first birthday, and I have no idea how to get the bottom portion of the cake to look like the wrapper on a true size cupcake!! I would so much appreciate any suggestions!!

I've been inside their shop and I can say it is not huge up front. Back of the house doesn't look all that big either.
Most states have different requirements and things about sizes though, so you're best started with your city hall or government offices.
I got one of these for Xmas - ABC Catalog stuff can be sketchy but this is great - it's a decent quality, with a high lid and I think it'll hold more that 2 dozen cupcakes. And it's only $6.95!
You can find parchment paper in the supermarket aisle with tin foil and plastic wrap. If it turns out we want pictures!
Wilton makes a giant cupcake shaped pan!!!! I got one for Christmas. I've seen them at various craft and baking supply shops (including Joann Fabrics).
Use corregated paper to mimic the wrapper. It often comes on rolls and in many colors. Try looking at a classroom supply, art store or paper and party retailer. I've also seen a machine (perhaps at Michael's or Archivers?) for corregating scrapbook papers. Sending vellum through one of those would create a very authentic looking wrapper.
(BTW, your son is very lucky! My mom made me custom birthday cakes -castle, merry-go-round, a 'warm fuzzy'- and I remember how excited I would be to have something so special. Kudos to you for going the extra mile!)
go there and then look under photos and then the folder called "my cakes" it is the 14th photo.."madison's giant cupcake"
i used a glass mixing bowl for the bottom (actually, baked two of them and cut the top off and stacked them to make the bottom part taller..) and two 9 in. rounds for the top. the top was strawberry cake and icing, bottom was chocolate/chocolate. the flavor combo was divine. people are still asking me how i did it, they all loved it.
