  1. I’m a handful kind of gal. Although I usually end up eating two or three handfuls at a time!

  2. Definitely the handful!

  3. Standard all the way!

  4. C…I love your website!

  5. C all the way…don’t they say that any more than a handful is just a waste? ;)

  6. D – enough for two! Who doesn’t love 2nds on a cupcake?!

  7. B is my fav, I feel like I can justify eating more when they are this big!

  8. Bite size, just pop it in your mouth!

  9. Bite-sized definitely! So kind of you to do a giveaway :)

  10. I LOVE THE GIANT ONE!!!!

    I don’t know if it would REALLY be enough for two though…

  11. Wow, so many comments! Worth a shot though. I think my favorite is the handful size (what I just used for my cupcake tree at my wedding last week), but I love the bite-size for trying flavors

  12. i love cupcakes…cant wait to join in the fun in the blogging world!!

  13. My fav is the bite-size – thanks to you! I have made the cupcake bites (and a few pops) on two occasions so far (Mother’s Day and my nephew’s 1st B-Day party) and they were a HUGE hit. Everyone loved them and commented how moist and adorable they were. Thank you, thank you!

  14. I’m all about the handful! But me, personally? Definitely larger…

  15. I am definitely a C Cup. :-)

  16. “B” ….enough for a good bite of yummy stuff and another for the finishing tough..err, taste!

  17. The bite size.If one isn’t enough, you can try another one, but now,I’d think twice about taking the second one … the summer is coming.

  18. Definitely bite-sized, which is perfect! Not too big, not too small!!

    Thanks for the great website!

  19. I love the bite size.

  20. Bite size =)
    Just enough, haha!

  21. LOL! too funny…….so for cupcakes, and in real life, I’ll say a ‘handful’
    too damn funny.
    thanks for the chance to win and the inspiration on great baking art!

  22. Definitely a “D”. Enough for two!
    Love the cookbook! Pick Me!

  23. I would definitely go for the ‘B’ cup…how cute are they? Perfect mouth and hand sized! Not to mention, the perfect size for that after school snack when kids would just about eat an elephant from hunger! Thanks!

  24. B is my favorite!

  25. Bite Size! Just the right amount for me!

  26. Ooooo.. I’d have to say bite size, cause you can make a whole bunch of cupcakes and have enough for yourself and to share with someone special! :)

  27. Just found your website and love the bitesize cupcakes anytime. Lemon Poppyseed with lemon cream cheese icing is just what i love.

  28. gotta love the itty-bitty cupcakes!! perfect for an itty bitty rosebud on top!

  29. I want it! :)

  30. I think i am definitely a handful kinda gal.

  31. i would have to say D because then i can share with my hubby and daughter. yum!
    dannerm@hotmail.com

  32. I think I will go with bite sized, then you can not feel guilty about eating more than one :)

  33. I love the itty bitty size so you can all different kinds of cupcakes and not feel guilty!

  34. b for sure

  35. Mmmmm. BITE-SIZED cupcakes, teeny things, make for guiltless cupcake pleasure.
    A perfect end to lunch with a friend, the STANDARD of course, will do. In need of a little consolation? A HANDFUL will make you feel better.
    But when you are good, and no one’s around- stuff your face with a CUPCAKE FOR TWO!!

  36. B-bite sized for me thanks :)

  37. Gotta go with the Handful :)!

  38. D! Enough for two. I love getting 2 different cupcakes with my best friend and splitting ’em.

  39. Wow!! 960 Comments!! You should be proud of yourself and your website! My cupcake size? Depends how much time I have on my hands. I like the standard size, but it tends to be more time consuming. So, I eat the itty-bittys to save time, and I eat several of them to make me feel like I’m actually eating a full one :) (cheating right?)

  40. Absolutely B-not so small you can’t remember it, but small enough you can have more than one!

  41. Hmmmmm…well I’d have to say bite sized cause then you could make all different kinds and have just the right amount…KWIM

    How fun!

  42. ‘Enough for two’ because I always have a child or two wanting to share :) So glad I found your blog. Looks like lots of fun!

  43. Bit Size. Nibblin’ is best, especially a long nibble.

  44. OMG, I am comment number 956. I can barely generate 5 comments on my blog. Maybe I should talk about cute things like cupcakes more often.

    I wanna win, cause I love cupcakes!
    Sometimes I am a B cup, sometimes I am a D cup, usually a D cup…

  45. I am all for the handful:)

  46. Love this blog and this is a cute question – I’m going to go for the standard! Just enough – just right.

  47. Oh D Please! Yum, Yum, Yum!!

  48. Wow, are you about to exceed the amount of comments aloud? Hahaha. Well, I prefer size b. I am not a huge cake person (though I made that chocoalte cake a while back when I tried out the rose cupcakes, and it was really good), so small amounts work best. I probabyly eat more that way, anyway!

  49. I guess I have to stick to the size “B”(bite size) or “C” as I’m living in France … France is sooooo boring for bakes and cakes …
    No fancy paper-cups, no “D” sized ones … Booohooo !
    I’m dreaming of these “enough for two” cups since I’ve seen them in your blog !!!

    Best from Paris,

  50. I prefer bite-size cupcakes. They are just enough to satisfy a sweet tooth and big enough to add an extra elements to make them extra special.
    Thanks for the chance to win!

  51. i am a bite-size, just the right amount to satisfy a sweet tooth, although sometimes i’ll find myself having more than just one.

  52. A handful, it has a good cake to icing ratio.

  53. My cupcake cup runneth over. The more the merrier with a little left over to share. Size D is right for me!

  54. I guess it depends on the situation, but most times I’d pick C!

  55. Handful for sure! Love your blog! My friend and I are doing your cupcake pops for a baby shower…we are so excited to show them off! Thanks!

  56. itty-bitty.

    I love to just pop the whole thing in my mouth and enjoy it all at once– and if they’re small, no one minds having more than one, so I can taste it all again, and again, and again.

  57. Well, I am ‘enough for two’ but would like to be a ‘handful’! I love your blog. Thank you for sharing with us all!

  58. hmm…. I say enough for two, that’s if I can share…..

  59. If you’re being literal, I’d like a baker’s dozen of Ds, please! I love me my sweets! In the spirit of double entendres — my jogging routine prefers C and below.

  60. I’m the ‘B’ cup because Bite-sized is best. Itty bitty is too small to satisfy and bigger than that is just too much to handle. Thanks for the opportunity to win and thanks for sharing your ideas and goodies.

  61. I like bite-size/standard. Its the perfect size and you can still share if you like. :)

  62. I Have to say the “D” would be the one I’d have to choose! Only because you can put more designs on it!

    Florence W.

    pink.dragonfly@hotmail.com

  63. Enough for 2 – since I’ve always got someone around begging to share.

  64. Itty Bitty for sure!!! why you ask?

    1. I can eat more and don’t feel nearly as bad
    2. twice as many cupcakes with the same amount of batter!
    3. They’re incredibly cute. Everyone thinks so, believe me ;)

    I love your blog! You inspire me to become my own bakerella!

    jenn
    jennifer12287@yahoo.com!!!

  65. Definitely C! It’s the perfect size.

  66. a bite is a treat..a handful is a Meal! How great to get a chance to win :) thanks!
    LisaK-B

  67. I’m gonna go with B) Bite Size!!! LOL

    http://tasteyscreations.blogspot.com/

  68. “C”- Handfull… although it may be nice for “D”! Thanks so much!

  69. My vote is for cupcake size B. I love cupcakes!! I like a little cake with my frosting. That is the best!!!

  70. My vote is for cupcake size B. I love cupcakes!! I like a little cake with my frosting. That is the best!!!

  71. bite-size… that way you can have a bunch and not consume any calories! ;)

  72. itty bitty for me please! definately the easiest to eat politely!

  73. Itty Bitty unfortunately. Alas, a girl can’t have everything! Love your blog BTW – you are so talented! :O)

  74. I’d say I’m a D kind of girl :-) Although any size is good enough for me!!!

  75. A – Itty Bitty

  76. I would have to confess I just use the regular, standard size – should venture out and try some others. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  77. Cup “A”!! A little bite goes a long way.

  78. Handful! I love it to have something from my cupcake. With the bite size you just bite once in your cupcake and then it’s gone. And so you want another one but then it seems like you eat too much. But if you have a handful one you have more but you don’t think you’re eating too much

  79. Since a cupcake sounds like complete heaven to me at this moment – enough for two! But I’m keeping it for myself ;-)

  80. I just discovered your blog,by looking at the Martha stewart show. And i`m enjoying myself,and i want to go to the kitchen and start baking right away:)
    I`m definately coming back:)

    And i must go for the D,enough for two…That doesn`t even match my real size:)

  81. HI! I prefer the HANDFULL SIZE! So enjoyable…

    Yay, your site rocks!! :)

  82. I use the handful size mostly all the time because whenever I use the bite-size one I’m always left wanting more (bigger cupcakes). But for the younger kids I use the bite-size ones. It’s easier for them to work with.
    Thanks for giving me the chance to play! I just found your site and am totally addicted. :)

  83. I just adore your blog—ran across it not too long ago and have been hooked on your beautiful creations ever since.
    Love me some itty bittys—so, I’d say my cup size is an A.
    Melis

  84. Bite-sized for sure! Yummy! Yummy! I enjoy reading your blog. You are such an inspiration to me!

  85. The handfull fills me up, but the bite-sized are so much more fun! :)

  86. Itty Bitty when you’re dating and trying to ace the test
    Bite Size when you’re married and proven to be the best
    Handful when you’re busy with kids and can’t get any rest
    Enough for Two when it’s just you and the baby on your breast!
    alipackard@yahoo.com

  87. I’ll take a handful of cupcake any day! So C for me! gra_sara@yahoo.com

  88. I’m a handful….that’s for sure!!!

  89. Definitely two hands full!!! Thanks for the giveaway!

  90. Bite size then you can enjoy more than one without the guilt ! LOL. Love your blog and all the inspiration.

  91. I love cupcakes no matter the size. Do you have anything bigger than D? If not, then I’ll have to stick with D. Or have lots of As. Have I mentioned I love cake esp. cupcakes?

  92. HANDFUL! Especially if it’s calorie-free. ;)

  93. Bite sized always hits the spot. Yum!

  94. Let’s go with the standard cup . Sometimes its too much but most times it’s just right!

  95. Bite size is just right! Your cupcakes are awesome!

  96. I love the bite-size, they arem super cute and can be dressed up to be fancy…plus you don’t feel so bad when you eat a bunch, because they are small, right?

    ct.momss@yahoo.com

  97. D it is! with such top notch sweets on this site and out and about nowadays, i already know i’ll be wanting more! i’ve got my fingers crossed for the prizes… kerrin810@yahoo.com. thanks!

  98. I am definitely a handful–in more ways than one! LOL LUV your blog. Thanks for the contest.

  99. HANDFUL! Not too much, just enough.

  100. I like bite-size, definitely! Even if sometimes I eat two =P

  101. I’ll go for the bite sized, then you don’t feel as bad having 2! ;)

  102. I would have to be honest and say”enough for two” when it comes to anything sweet. This is my down fall!

  103. B for me – I’m pretty “standard” girl, LOL! (But IRL, I can appreciate them all equally!!) ;o)

    BTW, I love your site – just found it and I can’t get enough!! :o) You’re super talented and have inspired me to start baking again.

    stampinsweetie at gmail dot com

  104. I am all about the handful!

  105. Assuming there are several flavors to choose from, I’m going for the bite-size so I can sample them all! Thanks for the chance to win!

  106. I prefer “bite-size” because you really can’t go wrong with something that you can fit all of it into your mouth at once. :)

  107. Humm, which size would I like? Ah, size C, a cupcake and a nice cup of tea. Love your website!

  108. Itty-bitty ’cause they’re too cute to resist!
    Thanks!

  109. Handful is just right for me. Thank you for the cake ball recipe, I have adapted it to my favorite cakes and my friends, family, co-workers and classmates all love them.

  110. Great contest! Gotta love a hanful!

    Stacey B.
    bstacey@verizon.net

  111. Bite size is perfect for me, not too much, not too little…..I am SO inspired by your site, I would love the chance to win the cookbook so that I can try out some more heavenly creations!

  112. B cup for me … only wish I could fill it! Julie

  113. I think bitesize and handful are my favorite depending on my mood. Both are yummy and I love me a big muffin for sure!
    karli_jo77@hotmail.com

  114. I’m going with the standard sized “B.” Any smaller and I end up eating an entire pan of them to “make up” for the smallness factor, and thereby unintentionally eat an entire cake by myself…

    Of course the beauty of the B-sized cupcake is that they’re perfectly filling in their own right, but not so filling that you can’t have just one more. :D

    piperwoodruff@yahoo.com

  115. Shoot. I meant to leave a link to web with my post. Sorry. Guess my (c) handfuls and I aren’t fully awake yet. :)

  116. Love that shirt and my Just right handfuls would look perfect in it. :)

  117. My favorite cup size is bite size :) so i can have stomach for more flavors!

  118. mmm a handful for sure. That way if I can only score one, I’ll be satisfied.

    Thank you for the contest!

  119. I have to go with enough for two. I have a major sweet tooth and can go crazy with it! Also the bigger size is more fun to decorate!

  120. My cupsize is an A…and then I can eat a few of them, a variety of flavors, eh?

  121. Handful for me!

  122. Enough for two, sometimes make me blue, when I run they hang to my shoe, my husband loves the view, can be disguised by my hair-do, when breast feeding they require goo, wish the bra companies had a clue, unfortuanately my name is not Sue, but it’s fun to write this and try and win something new!
    LOL…thanks for the chance to win!

  123. Totally a D!! Enough for two and more than a mouthful! :)

  124. Definately a handful is the perfect size for me (although I should pick the smallest if I know what’s good for me…)

  125. B-cup! :D

  126. Enough for two.

  127. A Handful!

  128. I’m an A cup, love those mini muffins! But I admit, you can’t eat just one.

  129. Bite-sized! It’s enough to get all the goodness but not so much that I feel sick after eating it!

    http://www.ladyrebecca.com

  130. I’d have to say A because that way I can eat more than 1!

  131. A! because three of A equals one B, which seems like i’m eating more! ;)

  132. Warh0rseC: Handful Handful Handful!!!!!!
    Yummy Handful.
    Did I mention Handful yet?

  133. I wish (and my pants do too) that I was an Itty-Bitty A cup, but alas, D is my true cup size.

  134. I would have to say C; it’s what my grandmother would call “an elegant sufficiency!”

    mtglu2000@yahoo.com

  135. I’m liking the “Handful”! Perfect!

  136. Either the A or the C. The A cup is super cute but if it’s really good, more never hurts . . .

  137. I use to be bite-size, but after three kids I am, sadly, more on the itty-bitty side. I guess you have to watch the diet more, huh? Thanks a bunch, you are awesome!!!!!

  138. Mine is itty bitty. I like to be able to pop them in my mouth fast! I made your bite size cupcake bites for my husbands graduation and everyone went crazy over them…not only were they super cute they were super SUPER yummy! I will definitely make them again & again!
    K.S.
    http://www.CherryBlossomsBaby.com

  139. Definitely itty-bitty, I don’t feel as guilty even though I eat enough for two!

  140. Enough for two. But it’s all for me I don’t share. In fact I might just bite someone for looking at my cupcake. Hehe. I love cupcakes!

  141. Nothing but a handful will do for me, please!

    I mean a handful IS the right portion size, is it not?

    Love this blogawbwzt!

  142. I like a C cup for just the right amount of yummy!

  143. My husband says that more than a handful is wasted. But I’m watching my calories so will stick to the bite size. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas. The cake pops were the inspiration for a bridal shower I gave two weeks ago.

  144. Mine are a great handful, or so HE said!!!

  145. I’m a wild woman–I do all sizes–but love itty-bitty so I can eat more without feeling the guilt LOL

  146. I prefer the itty-bitty. That way I don’t feel guilty if I have a second or third one. :)

  147. B cup for me…not to big and not too small!

  148. Well we all know that bigger is better! But when it comes to cupcakes,(what did you think I meant??) any size is a good size as long as the cake is fresh and the icing is creamy.

    P.S. Bakerella – You Rock!!!

  149. Definetly the handful..I’d go bigger but cupcakes are just not meant to be shared!! Hands off my cupcake!
    holliegirl80@hotmail.com

  150. B- yummy bite sized!

  151. Bitesize! It satisfies just enough… and then you can justify having more – and more – and more!

  152. Without a doubt, a handful. Because although I’ve got mini cupcakes on my chest, I’ve got bigger cupcakes on the brain!!
    Plus as I’m baking them for my wedding day, there’s got to be enough sweetness to get around for my guests. A good cupcake is like love. A little sweetness never hurt, but a lot of sweetness gives you a rosy glow and fills you to the brim with happiness!
    (I would LOVE the tshirt as I literally ordered the book yesterday!! Great minds huh?)

  153. I like the Itty Bitty, because it’s the perfect size to just pop in your mouth.
    Angie

  154. Enough for two….maybe three, lol.

  155. I pick A Itty Bitty. I love the first two bites! Then I can go back and have more.

  156. Depends on what kind of cups we’re talking about! ;-) I choose C-a handful. Just the right amount.

  157. Enough for two, for sure.

  158. I like the Enough For Two (but do I really have to share?)

    kingswoodkid at gmail dot com

  159. Oh, the truth is that this question is a tough one. I think I would normally go for a handful, but as I love trying loads of different flavours I think I’m a fan of size A as well. x

  160. I am ENOUGH FOR 2!! lol
    Wonderful giveaway! I just love all the exciting stuff on your blog!!

  161. i love my handfuls!

  162. Cup B! Not too small and not too big – just perfect.

    fertawert AT yahoo DOT com

  163. Ohhh La La!
    I like the Itty bitty size, then you can have one every day and not feel bad about it! :)
    Or you can try two different kinds if you can’t decide.
    Thanks!

  164. I am definitely a handful!! In fact, my cup runneth over!

    Thanks for bring such baking joy to us all! You are fabulous!

  165. C … not too much, but enough for a little hunger!

    Lovely Greetings from Germany, Azrael!

  166. When it comes to cupcakes I’m greedy and definitely want a handfull!

  167. itty bitty!
    …cuteness factor.
    lovin’ your site!
    you are amazing!:)

  168. Oh my how fun :-) Wink, wink!

  169. Where’s the double D option… i should stick to itty bitty, but I am more of a handful kinda girl.

  170. I made your cupcake bites and oh, my! I had to make a second batch because I ate so much during the “testing process” that I couldn’t come up with 15 bites for my daughters school!

  171. Handful is good for me! thanks!

  172. enough for two!

  173. Bite-sized! Just the perfect size, too :-)

    ashley884@gmail.com

  174. The handful! It’s the perfect size if you just want a little something sweet, but still small enough for one to somewhat politely eat 2!Er

  175. LOL, I’ll say handful. Cute shirt! Thanks.

  176. Bite-sized! Its the perfect size for icing and people can always have one even if they’re full!

  177. bite sized is the perfect size! esp. if you are serving kids. less mess is always better :) i have all the ingredients and now i just need to find the time to make those fabulous cakepops!

  178. “C” just because it’s not big enough to leave it there for the diet!

  179. Itty bitty for me…can have more than one that way!

  180. I say D – enough for 2!

    Gotta share with the kids and hubby! ;)

  181. I like the handful! :)

  182. I use to think a handful would satisfy my sweet tooth, however, with my husband and son around, it ain’t cutting it NO MORE, I would say for now – Enough for Two, the two boys in my life, I wish there is another size larger, which is JUST RIGHT! Simply perfect, no complaints from them and leaving me satisfied. dteoh@sbcglobal.net
    Dteoh

  183. I’m a handful. But I don’t like to admit it. All my sisters are itty-bitty and I take a bit of ribbing. Love your blog, BTW.

  184. I can never stop at just one, so D for sure!

  185. I think C is perfect! Just enough to satisfy. I had a D at the kids carnival and it was just too much. I’d love the book!!!
    http://sixbendersandadog.blogspot.com

    Thanks!!!

  186. I like the itty bitty size for my kids, but for myself I love the handful.

  187. Definitely a mouth watering not so sinful Mmmm…..Bite sized piece of heaven.After all more than a mouthful is a waste.What if I die and go to heaven after the first Bite!!!.Ha! Ha! Ha!.
    Love your site!Sweet Fun!
    Thanks for the chance to win!!.
    Luz

  188. Itty-Bitty for me!

  189. Itty bitty and proud!! Love your blog, you are so creative!

  190. I’m a handful! Thanks for all the great ideas on this site. I made the cupcake pops and they were a big hit!

  191. Gotta say, itty bitty here!

  192. Gotta be the handful, if it is just one flavor. If there are many flavors to choose from, then it have to be the itty bitty so I could have some of each flavor.

  193. D, enough for 2. yeah thats right.

  194. I’m a big fan of itty bitty cupcakes for the cuteness factor and because I don’t blow my diet when I enjoy one!

  195. I love your site! I’ve referred it to a few friends as well! Great Great stuff!
    For my cup size… I love anything tiny and cute :) (Which is why I love your cupcake pops!) So definitely the itty bitty!! Then I can eat a whole bunch without feeling too guilty at one time!
    Thanks!

  196. (A)Itty Bitty
    I have the Gastric Bypass so I want my cupcake to have the taste enough for two but packed into one savory bite!
    Plus May 31st is my 31st Birthday! Good times- Good Times!
    Happy Baking!
    Nana~

  197. D for sure. Especially if we’re talking chocolate.

  198. Hello! Well, I just found out i’m expecting a little one, so pre-preg, I’d say a handful…. now that i’m a few months along, we’re definitely going to have to go with enough for two!! :) And hey, the baby needs those extra calories, right?… ;)

  199. A – itty bitty … cuz calories don’t count when they’re that small right!
