The cupcake trend started already a couple of year a go and it is getting stronger and stronger. Creativity is the word and thanks to internet, people can find millions of recipes and inspirations. Everyone has one own recipe for the base and the toppings are the magical part.

And trust me, cupcakes are not that new. The first mention to cupcakes occurred in 1796 in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons. There was one annotation about small cakes baked in a cup. The name cupcake was not written and invented but the basic recipe was by then invented.

Almost a century later, in 1828, the term “Cupcake” was used for the first time in another book. “Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes and Sweetmeats” by Eliza Leslie.

Cupcakes became very trendy. Why? Probably because the nostalgia trend is something very powerful and that somehow lost child memories are something we all want to retrieve. As the British also call them Fairy cakes, there is definitely a hint of “fairy tales” on it. We think easily on Alice in wonderland tea time. Recently series like Sex in the City until 2004 and Lazy Sunday in 2005, brought cupcakes back to trend and especially a new yorker bakery called The Magnolia Bakery. This bakery is well known for its amazing cupcakes and old-fashioned icebox cakes.
