The latest sensation from the creator of the hits More Toast and More Pizza!

"The cupcakes look so good I almost licked my phone." - Robin Rhys, AppAdvice.com

** A huge free update with lots of new stuff has been submitted to Apple! **

More Cupcakes! lets you bake, decorate, eat & share yummy cupcakes right from your iPod Touch or iPhone. 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 you've baked and decorated your masterpieces, you can share them with your friends via email (OS 3.0 or later) or save them to your photo albums. And of course you can eat them! Choose the tablecloth and plate to serve them on and you are ready for dessert.

Just like our other "More..." apps, More Cupcakes! has nearly endless options. In just the initial 1.0 release, you'll have:

- 10 different colors & patterns of cupcake liners (white, yellow, pink, blue, green, red polka dot, rainbow, leopard print, vines, and camo)

- The ability to set your baking time, from lightly baked to crispy burnt cupcakes
- 10 types of frosting (vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, mint, caramel, cookies & cream, raspberry, chocolate orange, chocolate shell, and vanilla confetti)
- 16 toppings (jelly beans, gummy bears, red hots, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate sprinkles, pink/blue/green sprinkles, strawberries, banana slices, mini chocolate chips, chocolate candies, cookie bits, mini-marshmallows, candy hearts, and candy shamrocks - just in time for St. Patricks day!)
- 10 kinds of plates and 6 tablecloths, to give your cupcakes the perfect presentation

Post a review with your requests, and you never know, our next free update might have your suggestion!

NOTE: If you don't want to have to shake the phone to get cupcakes out of the pan, tap the (i) button on the first screen, and set "Shake to Empty Pan" to OFF. Then the cupcakes will go straight from the oven to the decorating table!
