If you haven't heard, there is a new trend in the dessert market—cupcakes. And who doesn't love those sweet yummy cupcake concoctions? They are sweet treats of the day for the most discerning sweet eater, and they come in so many flavors and variations. Of course, you can stick to the traditional vanilla or chocolate cupcake if you like, but today's market hosts a plethora of new unique cupcake recipes.
Although cupcakes have been around for a long time, their originals are controversial. Some say that cupcakes came about when people started baking cakes in little teacups. These little teacup cakes didn't take as long to bake and cooled faster. Some believe that cupcakes were named because the ingredients were measured in cups—one cup of sugar, 2 cups of flour, etc. But however the cupcake came about, these sweet treats have made their way into our hearts.
