Cupcake Friday: The History of Cupcakes


For someone who loves cupcakes as much as I do.....I have no idea where they came from.  So, I did a little research.  There seem to be two theories about the origin of the cupcake.

The first comes from a recipe, or rather the amount of ingredients used to make a cake.  For example, a cupful of flour, a cupful of butter, a cupful of sugar.

The second theory comes from the fact that these small cakes were originally baked in cups.

Either way, they are delicious.  



Have a great weekend and don't forget to take some time and enjoy a cupcake.
