Cupcakes! XL takes advantage of your iPad's giant screen, to make it easy to bake yummy virtual cupcakes. Pick your cupcake liners, fill the pan with cake batter, pop it in the oven, and before you know it your cupcakes will come out piping hot.
Once they are baked, you can choose from an amazing array of frostings and candy toppings to apply, to build the perfect cupcake. Even choose from 25 flavors of official Jelly Belly® gourmet jelly beans to add to the top!
After you've decorated your masterpieces, you can share them with your friends via email, Facebook, or save them to your photo albums. And of course you can eat them! Choose a tablecloth and plate to serve them on and you are ready for dessert.
Last but not least, put candles on your cupcake and blow them out by blowing on your iPad!
For the iPad version of Cupcakes!, we've expanded your baking pan to let you make a dozen cupcakes at once. And once you've baked them, they are all displayed on the countertop, making it easy to choose which one to decorate & eat next. Your batch of cupcakes is automatically saved when you quit the app, so if you need to do something else and come back, all your baking & decorating will be right where you left it.

8 of 25It rocks alot
It’s not accessible as much as the iPhone version is, which is a bit disappointing for me. I can still use it ok, but I’m worried that there are other people who can’t. So please fix that if you can.
I completed 13 acheivements, 145 point total since i purchased the game 6 months ago. The points have not transferred to my game center and i am very upset. One of the achievements is make a dozen cupcakes. I made over a hundred.
I love this game but the only thing that bugs me is that on a I pad you cant take or choose a pic and put it on the wraper you are designing. You can do itban a iPod why not on the I pad?I still give it a 5thow!!!!!
Awesome love it
this app is like another cooking game just more Ideas to choose from but it is kind of addicting :p I LOVE THIS GAME
Dear whomever is reading this, I strongly would give this app a 5/5 star rating simply because it absolutely deserves it! Not only does has this app inspired me of me true love and passion for cupcakes but, it has also given many wonderful recipes and ideas to test, try, or use on a daily basis. I love this app and I think that everyone else should feel the sane way as me for various reasons. This app makes you feel like you are actually making cupcakes and also giving you pleasure as well. What more could this app simply have as well you ask someone. Well, it also gives you many options and combinations to try out while in the process of this game. It is absolutely my favorite game and without a doubt should be yours too.
This game is great, it's really fun to make all the different cupcake combinations and enter the contests!
