National Cupcake Day

National Cupcake Day is a day dedicated to celebrating the delectable treats that everyone loves! Cupcakes come in all different shapes and sizes, and their sweetness melts in your mouth. Enjoy your favorite cupcake with your favorite drink, and close your eyes in delight.

History

The origins of cupcakes can be traced back to ancient Rome. At that time, cupcakes were made with barley flour, nuts, raisins, and pomegranate seeds, and they were sweetened with honey. They more closely resembled bread cakes than the cupcakes we know today. With the spread of sugar in the 16th century, cupcakes began to take the shape we recognize now. In the 19th century, cupcake molds became popular in the baking industry, and cupcakes started being mass-produced.

Interesting Facts
