__Question/ Purpose__ Our problem is to figure out which cupcake brand is better in quality, taste, and nutritional value.

__Observation/Research__ We have researched Hostess cupcakes and discovered the amount of calories is 181, the amount of carbs is 30 grams, the amount of fat is 14 grams, and the amount of protein is 1 gram. We also researched Kroger cupcakes and the total calories in each one is 210, and the total fat is 11 grams, the total carbs is 27 grams, and lastly the total protein is 2 grams.

__Form Hypothesis__ As a group, our hypothesis is that Sugaree’s Cupcakes would be better in all categories of quality, taste, and nutritional value.

__Test Hypothesis__ In order to test our hypothesis we will use a bakery made Sugaree Cupcake, a hostess name brand cupcake and storebrand cupcakes from Kroger. Our control item will be the Kroger storebrand cupcake. Our independant variable will be the Sugaree's Bakery cupcake an the Hostess name brand cupcake. Our control will be the store brand cupcake which is from Kroger. Our Indepedent variable will be the name brand hostess cupcakes and the bakery Sugaree’s cupcakes.

First off, we divide half of the Sugaree’s cupcake into 3 seperate pieces. then we divided one hostess cupcake into three seperate pieces. Lastly, we each ate one Kroger brand cupcake. we will taste test each cupcake and then vote on the preferred one in a democracy. Next, we will test the quality of the cupcakes it's self by by reviewing the ingredients, and by the way its made. Lastly, we will review the nutritional value of each brand of cupcake by its ingredients, which we did by reviewing its ingredients from resources and then compared the amounts.

__Collect and Study Data__





__Make conclusions__ Now that we have tested our hypothesis and experiment, we have come to the conclusion that Kroger is better in nutritional value, though we are not sure of the value in Sugaree cupcake. We also realized through our experiment, that Sugaree’s cupcakes are most desired when in the category of taste, and that Kroger is the least desired.
