Cupcakes have been part of the American landscape since the 1770s. The small cake treats are baked into thin paper or aluminum cups.
Topped with layers of decadent frosting, they're designed to serve just one person. Or you can share if you're willing to part with your treat.
“Cupcakes when you want to watch your weight, but still feel the pride that comes with eating an entire cake.” — Dana Gould.
The delectable little cakes are so popular the Food Network had a show called Cupcake Wars. The series ran from 2009 until 2018, amassing over 1.6 million viewers.
During the 2000's New York City Magnolia Bakery gained tons of publicity by having their signature cupcakes appear on HBO's Sex and the City.
Many fans of the show traveled to Magnolia to partake of the sweet treats.
