Since Jenny bought 6 cookies and paid a total of $1.50 each, the total cost of the cookies is 6 * $1.50 = $<<6*1.50=9.00>>9.00.
If she paid a total of $21 and the cookies cost $9.00, then the cupcakes cost $21 - $9 = $<<21-9=12.00>>12.00.
Since she bought 6 cupcakes, each cupcake costs $12.00 / 6 = $2.00.
Therefore, each cupcake costs $2.00. Answer: \boxed{2.00}.
