December 15 Cupcake / Lemon Cupcake Day

Today day is December 15 Cupcake / Lemon Cupcake Day observed every year. The first mention of the cupcake can be traced as far back as 1796 when a recipe notation of “a cake to be baked in small cups” was written in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons.

Cupcakes are made with the same basic ingredients as large cakes: flour, eggs, sugar, and butter. The cupcake batter may have chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, or berries stirred in. Sometimes cupcakes are filled with pastry cream, ganache, jam, or frosting. They are often topped with frosting, whipped cream, sprinkles, sugar paste figures, and other cake decorations.

For bakers making a small number of filled cupcakes, this is usually accomplished by using a spoon or knife to scoop a small hole in the top of the cupcake. (With material from: Wikipedia)
