I only got a total of 11... (Seems the drops are very rare)

Drops - 8
Via Tokens - 10

Got tired of grinding and just got 250 for 50K. As gold is easier to come by then cupcakes.

They should have made them drop more often.

I got 37 or so simply by playing the game. Luckily, my ranger just made it over to Prophecies, so soloing the early missions produced quite a bit of them.

Got 152 atm, dropped during my farm runs and drop rate seems to be related to a area. Gates of kryta dropped quite a lot of these for me

This question is a little premature, as they're still dropping for another four and a half hours or so.

That said, I'm at 86 right now, but intend to increase that number.

I got around 160 from drops. Vanquished North Kryta Province, Nebo Terrace, Talmark, Tears of the Fallen, Majesty's Rest, and Sage Lands while america had favor. Dropped a shitload more often when america had favor(on average just under 1 per group)

Did you ahve henchies with you?? Because they probably got ur cupcakes. Try solo-ing, you will get more b/c Cupcakes(as with all event items) are not subject to the new loot scaling policy. I did it when i had favor and got a lot more.

They are actually dropping until midnight Pacific time. (11:59pm) So you have just over 15 hours.

Solo to level 5 then I started questing with henchmen (Got only 3 during that time) Ran the character to the Noob Island in Factions got 2 on the way so maybe areas had a lot of effect on drops as well.

I got 22 over the weekend. I also got another one this morning as a thank you gift from a newbie after I gave him some of the materials he needed for his first armor upgrade after leaving pre.
