Individual Bakery Treats

Cupcakes are small baked cakes designed to serve a single person without requiring utensils or cake cutting. They are baked inside special muffin pans lined with pleated paper cups that help batter hold a uniform shape as it expands.

Origin of the Cupcake Name

Cupcakes originally earned their name because ingredients were measured out by standard drinking cups rather than weighed on kitchen scales. Early bakers also cooked these personal cakes inside small stoneware cups before metal baking tins became common.

Colors of Cupcakes and Icing

  • Swirled frosting: strawberry pink, vanilla white, or mint green
  • Cake sponge base: light golden brown or dark chocolate
  • Ribbed paper liner: pastel yellow, pale blue, or patterned white
