I thought I'd leave a note here to explain why I've settled on these pictures of cupcakes, so that subsequent changes might take these details into account:
- Chocolate cupcakes: it shows several angles, including one that has been unwrapped
- Plain cupcakes: No icing. No cupcake tin.
- Brown paper wrapper: Less common (and more expensive) commercial style of cupcake liner.
- Gumpaste flowers: Fancy decorating, plus unusual cupcake liner (rolled at top; something similar is common for extra-jumbo sizes)
- Wedding cake: Less common approach
- Cupcake pan: Actually is a cupcake pan, not a (slightly larger/normal) muffin pan per description on Commons.
What I'd like to have is a picture of the pull-apart cupcake-cakes that are the current fad for kids' birthday parties. Then perhaps we could lose those links to commercial websites. WhatamIdoing (talk) 07:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
"famous" cupcakes
I've re-removed the link and mention of the "Ron Bennington's 'I've Got My Own Cupcake'" cupcake . It's not trully a "famous" cupcake, but merely an advertisement for a particular one that's coincidentally named after someone. Per WP:N, I fail to see any reason to provide an advertisement for the store in this article. --- Barek - 00:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
Queen Cakes?
Cupcakes are sometimes called this in the Ireland and (to a lesser extent) the UK (in addition to "fairy cakes," of course). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.163.235.219 (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Closed merge proposals
Cake in a mug
Discussion
- Cake in a mug ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) into Cupcake ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs )
Proposing to merge cake in a mug to this one because it is a non-notable variant on a cupcake. While there are recipes for a cake in a mug, recipes themselves (even if published) do not connote notability; proper sources that are not cookbooks would be required. An analogy would be chocolate chip cookies: every variation recorded in a cookbook is not notable, only the cookie itself is notable. --Jeremy 07:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support merge. The mere fact that this can be (like many other things) cooked in a microwave does not make it notable enough for its own article. pablo hablo. 08:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose merge it met all requirements for notability on its own. The way it is cooked is notable, it in a cup! That's far different then something common such as a microwave. D r e a m Focus 17:50, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Independently notable and confusing if merged to cupcake. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support merge This is just an updated version the original form of cupcakes (which were, after all, just plain cakes cooked in pottery mugs). I strongly disagree that a copy of the recipe from a small-town newspaper and Wired.com's wiki make it "notable". There really aren't that any non-recipe sources that talk about this idea (as opposed to merely presenting the recipe with a paragraph or so of description, just like any modern cookbook). There is no chance of the separate article ever meeting good article standards. In fact, there's no realistic chance of it ever being anything more than a stub -- and not an "ideal" stub, either. At the very most, it deserves a brief mention in this article. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:18, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support per nom. I don't see any notability demonstrated on the fork article.-- Caspian blue 15:51, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support . Slim-to-zero evidence that cake in a mug meets notability requirements. Its existence can aptly be described as a minor variant of the cupcake concept—a mug is simply a cup with a handle. Cake in a mug has almost no content at all, of which virtually none is substantial, and (for the next couple of moment, anyhow) contains POV personal essay that must be deleted. If this merge proposal fails, it is very likely that Cake in a mug will be successfully proposed for deletion as non-notable. — Scheinwerfermann T · C
- Support per nom. Cake in a mug is very close to the variant of cupcakes which are cooked in a ramekins. It makes sense to merge the content from the separate article into a mention in the cupcake article. Scheinwerfermann also raises the valid point that cake in a mug , if not merged, is likely to be deleted as non-notable per Wikipedia's notability requirements. The essence of cake in a mug is already contained in the cupcake article: "Originally, cupcakes were baked in heavy pottery cups. Some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, or other small ovenproof pottery-type dishes for baking cupcakes." Geoff T C 16:57, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Support per nom. A mug is a cup. A cake in a cup is a cupcake. This 3 sentence stub belongs in a subsection of Cupcake. BillyTFried (talk) 20:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment It seems that the merge is going to happen which is fine although I disagree with this outcome. Please whoever does it make sure that mug in a cake is given it's own section heading and redirected there so that the content is not just lost and mixed in, and so it can be expanded in future. Thanks. ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment On what basis has it been determined that a cake in a mug is a cupcake? What about bundt cakes? Brownie cakes? Where is the source that establishes a cake in a mug is a cupcake? Here's another source discussing the cake in a mug , and I don't see it mentioned as a cupcake at all, only a type of cake, here also . And here's and entire book on desserts in a mug and again, it discusses the cake in a mug, with no indication it is a cupcake. Just because the word "cup" is in cupcake, and they may have started out being made in clay molds doesn't seem to me to justify merging an independently notable cake type into the cupcake article, which is a specific type of cake all its own. At the very least I hope a section on mug in a cake will be preserved in the cake or cupcake article (assuming a source establishing a connection can be found) so it can broken out again when someone decides to expand it with all the sources on the subject. I've never heard of microwaving a cupcake. It seems totally unrelated and includes it's own cooking methods and preparations.ChildofMidnight (talk) 21:53, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Here are three articles just from the last month to establish notability. . I would be surprised if any of them refer to this as some kind of cupcake. ChildofMidnight (talk) 07:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
Butterfly cake
Discussion
- Butterfly cake ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs ) into Cupcake ( edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs )
Proposing to merge butterfly cake to this one because it is a non-notable variant on a cupcake. All references are simply recipes, and as stated previously printed recipes do not establish notability. The same analogy about chocolate chip cookies still applys: every variation recorded in a cookbook is not notable, only the cookie itself is notable. --Jeremy 04:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
- Weak support a merge, I tend to agree that butterfly cake is a non-notable variant. Could be persuaded otherwise if sourcing was found to suggest otherwise. Casliber (talk · contribs) 05:34, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
