I Heart Cupcakes ~
Mood: 
I’m Listening To: Way Back Into Love by Hugh Grant & Haley Bennett
Today’s post is about Cupcakes. I remembered when I was trying to make cupcakes last holiday.. The shape of my hand-made cupcakes is definitely horrible! I was hopeless at the first, but when my mother tried it, she told me that it was nice. And that was right, my ugly-hand-made cupcake tasted nice.. it was moist and sweet! xD
Okay, I believe that everybody loves cupcakes! Cupcakes are portable, small, and sweet. It’s really fun to give cupcakes as a gift to your love one.. Cupcakes also have many flavors and decorations that make it look more delicious..
Then, what about cupcake history? I found an article that told a little history of cupcake.. From Cupcakes Take The Cake:
A “cup” cake in 19th Century America might have been a small cake, but it wasn’t necessarily so. They were so called because the ingredients for them were measured in cups instead of weighed, as had been the custom. According to “Baking in America” by Greg Patent, this was revolutionary because of the tremendous time it saved in the kitchen.
Whether it was a “cup,” “measure” or “number” cake, the shift to measuring from weighing was indeed a significant one, according to “The Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America.” But it goes on to explain that the cup name had a double meaning because of the practice of baking in small containers — including tea cups.
The cups were for convenience because hearth ovens took an extremely long time to bake a large cake — and early cakes, by the way, were enormous — and burning was common. Gem pans, early muffin tins, were common in households around the turn of the 20th Century and cupcakes were then baked in those.
And if you’re wondering, it was 1919 when Hostess introduced the famous snack cupcake, but it didn’t become the cream-filled, squiggle-topped Hostess Cup Cake we know today until 1950..
I also found some interesting pictures from Cupcake Take The Cake website and PinkCakeBox Blog,… Colourful and Cute design of Cupcakes! OMG, what a beautiful design, I love to say it as a Cupcake artwork!

Is it an Outhouse or a Cat Litter Box
You will be forced to have a litter box in your home if you own a cat. There’s a good chance that you have somewhere out of the way to keep it, and it may not bother you very much if your home is spacious. However, a cat litter box can be very annoyin…
