Cupcake history? Who would have thought someone would be interested in cupcake history aside from me? But there are indeed theories on how and when did cupcake originated.
Yes, cupcakes do have history too! Let's start with what I found out from a few reading:
U.S/American English: cupcake
British English: fairy cake
Australian English: patty cake
Cupcake, it seems, is a term that Americans can claim as their contribution to the culinary community. As per Wikipedia, 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".
FoodTimeLine mentions two popular theories on where the actual name 'cupcake' originated: 1) the name comes from the amount of ingredients used to make the cake (a cupful of flour, a cupful of butter, cupful of sugar etc.) 2) these cakes were originally baked in earthenware teacups or other small clay baking pans.
OK, That’s it for some Cupcake History!
