The dainty appearance, small size, and balanced shape for decoration purposes made it an economical baked good for both bakers and consumers. Commercial shop-bought cupcakes were first introduced in 1919 by ‘Hostess’, an American bakery company that introduced this single-portioned dessert as a ‘snack cake’. Once the concept was popularized, cupcakes became a favorite amongst both home and commercial bakers. While the history of the cupcake it somewhat vague, not as clear as most desserts we bake and buy today, one thing is certain-we got a pretty clean and tidy way on miniaturizing the cakes we love, reducing the mess and increasing the joy. Most of the time, ‘cupcake’ was simply a name for a measurement, much like ‘pound’ cake. Though Leslie can be credited for cementing the first cupcake recipe, there is no single inventor of this sweet treat. However, the word ‘cupcake’ itself did not come about until 1828, when celebrated author and cooking expert Eliza Leslie published her cookbook ‘Receipts’, which included the recipe for the first cupcake. The idea behind making tiny cakes was elaborated in ‘American Cookery’, a 1796 cookbook by Amelia Simmons. While cakes have been around for centuries, cupcakes first came around in the 19 th century, courtesy of the United States of America.
