A cupcake is a small cake designed to serve one person, frequently baked in a small, thin paper or aluminum cup. 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 Simms.
The ingredients of a cupcake are familiar items we always have on hand. Like most anything we eat nowadays, the cupcake represents global effort of laborers and products from places we don’t tend to think about. Check out this graphic weighing the ingredients of this trendy personal treat.

And of course we Americans are personally totally responsible, through our irrepressible need for cupcakes, for all of those lost lives and those poor Norwegians who don't have butter. It's so sad... I think I'll have TWO cupcakes tonight.
