" The Cupcake Cake is systematic genius. A balance of consistency and variety, each cupcake is decorated with the same delicate piping technique, from a carefully selected color palette, with no drop of icing wasted. The result is surprising, delightful, and the highlight of the party."

According to this article, their design goal is to create the right amount of consistency and the website with good usability, rather than too much variation of contents that could cause confusing and overwhelming. I could learn that all designers who wrote articles I read for this project ask themselves many questions about the goals for what they are creating from various angles.
As editorial design including book, magazine design started from designing grid system to hanging all elements up on that grid system, web design also has grid system with little variation that make it clearer and more purposeful. It was very interesting that the writer mentioned that the cupcake cake could be one of the design systems.
