It depends on who your customer is. I do beads for fun right now...until I learn enough to make beads worth selling. But I love the cupcake beads. I purchased a tutorial then made beads for my nieces aged 7-13 who all love them. It's perfect for them. Snake skin beads (
not as good looking as the cupcakes) work for my son.
I will say that for myself....look for the rainbow bead tutorial....I have seen some people here make awesome flowers using this tutorial.
I say go through the lot of the for purchase tutorials until you find a bead design that speaks to you.
