Before settling on the now-traditional cup shape, bakers tried to model cupcakes after other containers, testing desserts in the shape of laboratory beakers, colanders, and boxing gloves. Delight in a successfully sweet option with today's Groupon: for $13, you get a dozen cupcakes with delivery from For Cupcake's Sake (a $27.50 value). Delivery is available throughout Volusia County.

For Cupcake's Sake's dessert couriers speed parcels of freshly baked cupcakes to waiting kitchens and countertops. Pacify sweet teeth with 12 morsels chosen from an array of succulent flavors including red velvet, chocolate raspberry, and hummingbird, a banana, pineapple, and pecan cupcake topped with cream-cheese frosting. For Cupcake's Sake's bakers decorate treats for holidays and special occasions, with boxes of joyous pastries delivered in time for birthday parties, romantic evenings, or National Poetry Month's traditional burning of the John Keats–shaped wicker man. All orders are carefully concocted in the bakery's commercial kitchen in New Smyrna, with vegan and gluten-free desserts available upon request.
