All about cupcakes
|
|
There are two different explanations of how cupcakes got their name. The first story is set in a time before cupcake tins. Someone wanted an individual size cake that they didn't have to cut to serve. What was the solution? Bake the cake in teacups. But what should we call them? "I know, how about cupcakes!" Another explanation on how these beloved treats came to bear the name cupcakes is in the process that they were originally made. Whoever the first baker to make the cupcake was decided to measure the ingredients in volume instead of weight. 1 cup of flour, 1 cup of sugar, etc. Since the ingredients were measured in cups the name stuck. This is also the way pound cake got its name.  Since then cupcakes have been enjoyed by all. Most of the cupcake eating goes on right here in the United States, but Canada and Great Britain do their fair share. Did you know in Great Britain they call cupcakes fairy cakes? Some think its because a cupcake is big enough to feed a whole party of fairies. We think it has something to do with the fun whimsical nature of the cupcake! Whatever you want to call them, one thing is for sure these individual desserts are delicious! |
