Cupcake in a Paper Wrapper
This subject shows a large individual cupcake sitting in a ridged paper wrapper and topped with a high swirl of frosting. Its simple composition suits early childhood crafts and greeting card projects.
How Cupcakes Became Popular Treats
Small individual cakes were originally baked in ceramic cups before muffin tins and disposable paper liners became widely available. The term cupcake first appeared in American cookbooks during the early nineteenth century as a reference to measuring ingredients by volume cup sizes. Their individual portion size makes them ideal for casual family gatherings and celebrations.
