B.
Option B is the most accurate — breaking the recipe down step‑by‑step and measuring the actual ingredient amounts lets you calculate the true cost per cupcake. (Option A uses rough estimates and yields inaccuracies; C is unreliable and not specific to your recipe. Also remember to include non‑ingredient costs — labor, packaging, utilities, equipment depreciation, and overhead — when you total the unit cost.)
