National Chocolate Cupcake Day
In honor of National Chocolate Cupcake Day, we suggest you spend a minute thinking of all of the joy that chocolate cupcakes have brought you over the years. From birthday parties as a kid to comfort food as an adult, chocolate cupcakes have been with us every step of the way.
Cupcakes first emerged during the 19th century in the United States when they were commonly known as "number cakes" because it was easy to remember the measurements of ingredients to make them.
Cupcakes have since evolved into various shapes, flavors, ingredients, and decorations, but chocolate cupcakes have always been a worldwide favorite. Bake, frost, and decorate your own chocolate cupcake today to celebrate!
October is National Pasta Month & National Dessert Month & National Chili Month & National Roller Skating Month & Adopt-a-Dog Month & National Breast Cancer Awareness Month
