It’s been said that coffee makes it possible to get out of bed in the morning, but the promise of a cupcake later in the day makes it worthwhile. We couldn’t agree more. Not many things in life are better than a cupcake. Sweet, moist and sized for one, cupcakes make a bad day better, and they make a party perfect.

In fact, with summer coming to a close and back-to-school season here, there are plenty of reasons (OK, excuses) to whip up a batch of cupcakes. How about an end-of-summer celebration? Or a special dinner and dessert to toast a new school year? Or you could even wait ’til the kids are back at school and and make yourself a batch of cupcakes to reward all your hard work. And, of course, they’re a perennial birthday-party favorite.

Whatever reason you come up with, these cupcake recipes are sure to suit any occasion. We’ve included a mix of recipes: some kid-friendly choices as well as some more sophisticated options that are perfect for a grown-up treat. We even found a recipe for a coffee cupcake. Now that’s worth getting out of bed for!
