If you choose Strawberry Cupcakes, your Cupcake Personality is: Mr/Ms. Manners

Mr/Ms. Manners: Well, aren’t you civilized? Your first words were “please” and “thank you” and you learned the art of making a proper pot of tea before you were five (even if it was just pretend.) Not much has changed. As an adult, you are a most gracious host and can throw one heck of a garden party. You prefer cloth napkins over paper and know a salad fork from a shrimp fork. You are a good listener.
