What is Cupcake Day?

The period of time between Thanksgiving and Christmas apparently doesn’t have enough sugar in it. Because that’s when Cupcake Day falls each year! Like Cake Day and Cookie Day, this confectionary celebration brings out the artist and the chef in everyone. With a box of cake mix and some muffin tin liners, pretty much anyone can successfully bake these scrumptious mini-cakes. But that’s just where the fun begins. Frosting and decorating is the best part. Use sprinkles, brightly colored sugar crystals, candies, or elaborate toppers. Then, settle in to watch an episode of Cupcake Wars online to experience cupcake envy even as you enjoy the cake in your hand.

Bite Sized Trivia: The history of the cupcake dates back to at least 1776—when the tiny cakes were actually baked in individual cups. The addition of frosting didn’t come along until the 1920s. The most cupcakes eaten in the shortest amount of time is 29 cakes in 30 seconds.
