Questionnaire:
To inform my research, and give me a genuine idea of what the top 10 cupcake flavours were, giving the people responding an extensive list of choices to choose from, based on the cupcake flavours in the cook books I have looked at. I also asked a few other questions, in case my response went in a different direction, but now I feel as if these were not necessary, all that it is important is finding my top 10.
