National Vanilla Cupcake Day
Vanilla cupcakes are a delightful treat that can be seen anywhere from children's birthday parties to weddings and everywhere in between. They can be decorated quite simply with store bought frosting or they can be made to look like a stunning work of art. No matter how the vanilla cupcakes are made to look, the result is always the same: a delicious dessert for people of all ages to enjoy!
Did you know that cupcakes are referred to in England as fairy cakes? The name came from the idea that their small size would be appropriate for a party of fairies to enjoy.
Celebrate National Vanilla Cupcake Day by baking cupcakes for your kids, friends, or coworkers. Don't forget to add the finishing touches like frosting and sprinkles!
This week is Pursuit of Happiness Week
