How to Make Cupcakes

When cupcakes were first introduced to The Sims 4, Sims could only make them using the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory. However, given the large dimensions of the item, it wasn't a practical machine to keep in a Sim's home, so many gamers skipped trying it out. When the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack was released, a free base game update also went live; it brought a revamped version of the recipe list menu and made it possible for players to cook cupcakes in any oven.

Players can either use the oven or the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory to make cupcakes in The Sims 4. If the Sim has a large home and can afford the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory, they might want to consider it as they won't have to purchase any ingredients. However, if they prefer the practicality that the oven provides, they'll have to purchase or acquire the necessary ingredients.

If the player has the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack, batter will be considered a required ingredient for cupcakes.

To make cupcakes with the Whipped Dream Cupcake Factory, players must select it and choose the Cook Cupcakes option. To use the oven, they must select the Cook option, and they'll be able to find various cupcake recipes in the Sweets category.
