Site of the Week: Ming Makes Cupcakes

It’s been awhile since we’ve whet your appetite and ours by showing off one of our more tasty websites. Ming Makes Cupcakes is a delectable collection of tasty bite sized treats that you can make yourself. If you can build a website on Yola.com you can recreate these gourmet cupcakes at home.

Ming Thompson, site owner and creator of Ming Makes Cupcakes tells us the site was created “as a chronicle of my experiments in the kitchen. I didn’t have any great cake recipes on hand, so I wanted to create a systematic catalog that could be a kitchen reference in the future.”

An online recipe resource may have been the initial objective but we think Ming achieved a highly stylized website with a clean and modern site design. Each creation jumps off the page making it as much a treat for your eyes as the recipes are for your tummy.

I wanted the site to look clean and simple, so I used a basic template, and laid out the recipes and photos as if they were pages from a cookbook. I was happy with how the site looked, but in order to make it more user-friendly, I used the blog feature to add a text component and to allow people to subscribe. I found Yola’s interface to be very straightforward for a new blogger, and I have had great customer service experiences with the Yola team.—Ming Thompson
