cupcake (also English English: fairy cake ; Hiberno-English: bun ; Australian English: fairy cake or patty cake ) is a small cake designed to serve one person, which may be roasted in small thin paper or an aluminum cup. Like larger cakes, icing and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy can be applied.

History
The earliest surviving description of what is now commonly referred to as cupcake is in 1796, when the recipe for "light cake to be baked in a small cup" was written in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons. The earliest surviving documentation of the cupcake term itself is in the "Seventy-Five Receipts for Cakes, Cakes and Sweetmeats" in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's cookbook Receipts .
At the beginning of the 19th century, there were two different uses for the term cupcake or cupcake. In previous centuries, before the cans of muffins were widely available, the cookies were often roasted in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or mushrooms and took their names from baked cups. This is the use of the remaining name, and the name "cupcake" is now given for each small round cake that is about the size of a cup of tea. While English fairy cakes have different sizes more than American cupcakes, they are traditionally smaller and rarely coated with complicated icing.
Another "cup cake" is called a cake whose ingredients are measured by volume, using standard-sized cups instead of weighed. Recipes whose ingredients are measured using standard-size cups can also be baked in cups; However, they are more commonly baked in cans as a layer or bread. In later years, when the use of volume measurements was well established in the home kitchen, this recipe was known as 1234 cakes or quarter cakes , so called because they consisted of four ingredients: one cups of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, and four eggs. They are a plain yellow cake, somewhat less rich and less expensive than pound cake, as it uses about half as much butter and egg as compared to pound cake.
The names of the two main classes of this cake are meant to signal the method to the baker; "cup cake" uses volume measurement, and "pound cake" using weight measurement.

Recipes
Standard cupcakes use the same basic ingredients as standard-size cakes: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. Almost all recipes that are suitable for cake plywood can be used to bake cupcakes. The cake dough used for cupcakes can be flavored or contain other stirred ingredients, such as raisins, fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips.
Because of its small size is more efficient for heat conduction, cupcake roasting faster than regular cake. During roasting, the dough volume initially increases due to the production of carbon dioxide, then decreases after cooling due to the release of yeast gases.
Cupcakes can be decorated with flower ornaments or other cake decorations. They may be filled with frosting cream, fruit, or pastry. For bread makers to make a small amount of filled cupcakes, this is usually done by using a spoon or a knife to scoop a small hole in the top of the cupcake. Another way is to just put a bag of cakes in the middle of the cupcake. In a commercial bakery, charging can be injected using a syringe. Specially decorated bowl cakes can be made for special occasions.
Variant
- The cake in the cup is a variant that gained popularity across many internet cooking forums and mailing lists. This technique uses mugs as cooking containers and can be done in a microwave oven. The recipe often takes less than five minutes to prepare. The cake rises by mixing vegetable oil (usually olive oil or sunflower oil) into a flour mixture and other ingredients - like oil in a heated mixture, it creates air pockets in a mixture that allows fast cakes to rise. This variation has been popularized in recent years by the presence of many videos on social media websites, each claiming details of the fastest method for making the finished product.
- The cake in the bottle is another way of making a bowl cake. Bakers use glass jars instead of muffins or cupcake liners.
- Butterfly Cake is a variant of cupcake, also called fairy cake for "wings" like fairies. They can be made from cake flavor. The top of the fairy cake is cut or carved with a spoon, and cut in half. Then, butter cream, whipped cream or other sweet stuffing (eg jam) is spread into the hole. Finally, two pieces of the piece were affixed to a butterfly butterfly-butter cream. Cake wings are often decorated with ice sheets to form patterns.
- Complicated frozen cupcakes can be made for special occasions like baby showers, graduations, or holidays.
- A cake ball is a portion of an individual, round cake like a chocolate truffle, coated in chocolate. This is usually formed from crushed cake mixed with frosting, rather than baked as a ball.
- Gourmet Cupcake is a rather new cupcake variant. Gourmet bowl cakes are large and full cupcakes, based on various flavor themes, such as Tiramisu or Cappuccino. In recent years there has been an increase in stores that only sell gourmet cupcakes in metropolitan areas.
- As an alternative to a plate of individual cakes, some bakers place standard cupcakes into the pattern and freeze them to create large designs, such as a basket of flowers or a turtle.
Pans and liners
Initially, cupcakes are baked in heavy pottery cups. Some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee cups, large teacups, or other small oven-type pottery dishes to bake cupcakes.
Cupcakes are usually roasted in canned muffins. This pot is most often made of metal, with or without a non-stick surface, and generally has six or twelve depressions or "cups". They can also be made from stoneware, silicone rubber, or other materials. The standard cup size is 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter and about 4 ounces (110 g), although a pan for both miniature and cupcakes of jumbo size is present. Special pots can offer different sizes and shapes.
The case of an individual patty, or cupcake liner, can be used to make a cake. This is usually a round sheet of thin paper that is pressed into a round and fluted cup shape. Liners can facilitate easy removal of cupcake from cans after roasting, keeping the cupcake moist, and reducing the effort needed to clean the pot. The use of liners is also considered a cleaner option when cupcakes are passed from hand to hand. Like a cupcake pot, several sizes of paper coatings are available, from miniature to jumbo.
In addition to paper, the cupcake liner can be made from very thin aluminum foil or, in a non-disposable, silicone rubber version. Because they can stand on their own, foil and silicone coating can also be used on a flat baking sheet, which makes them popular among people who do not have a special muffin tin. Some of the largest paper liners are not fluted and are made of thick paper, often roll over the top edges for extra strength, so they can also stand independently for grilling without a cupcake can. Some bakers use two or three thin paper liners, nesting together, to simulate the power of one cup of foil.
Liners, also called paper cases, are available in various sizes. A slightly different size is considered "standard" in different countries. Miniature cases are generally 27 to 30 millimeters (1.1 to 1.2 in) in the base and 20 millimeters (0.79 in). Standard sizes range from 45 to 53 millimeters (1.8 to 2.1 inches) in diameter at the base and 30 to 35 millimeters (1.2 to 1.4 inches) in height. The Australian and Swedish bakers are accustomed to higher paper cases with larger diameters at the top than American and English bakers.
Shop
In the early 21st century, the trend for a cupcake store, which is a specialty bakery that sells little or nothing at all except cupcakes, developed in the United States, plays out the nostalgic flavor created by the cake. In New York City, pastry shops such as Magnolia Bakery gained publicity in their performances on popular television shows like HBO's Sex and the City.
Crumbs Bake Shop, a public business that runs the largest chain of cupcake stores in the US, reached its peak share price in 2011. Sales declined, as competition from local mom-and-pop local stores as well as increased competition from grocery stores, led to a sharp decline in prospects company and stock price in 2013.
Georgetown Cupcake is the first cupcake to open in Washington, DC The cupcake shop gained widespread publicity after the 2010 premiere of TLC DC Cupcakes, a six-part reality show about the store and its owner, sisters Sophie LaMontagne and Katherine Kallinis.
Based in Beverly Hills, California, Sprinkles Cupcakes is owned by Candace Nelson, who is also a star judge in the Food Network Cupcake Wars, and her husband, Charles Nelson. Sprinkles is the first cupcake store to debut with ATM cupcakes, which can hold up to 350 cupcakes at a time.
Themes
Cupcakes are sometimes used to celebrate and illustrate certain events or themes.
- A periodic table of cupcakes is a collection of bowl cakes arranged to represent the elements of the periodic table. Cupcakes are sometimes flavored and colored and are usually filled with the right atomic numbers and chemical symbols. The first person to make ice and burn a set of organized and colored bowl cakes to represent the elements of the periodic table was Ida Freund in 1907. Ida Freund was the first woman to hold a post of university chemistry lecturer in England. He uses cupcakes as a pedagogy tool to engage and entertain his female students at Cambridge University. Based on the original idea, periodic table cupcakes have become a popular and fun way to celebrate chemistry in school cake sales and events aimed at promoting public engagement with science.
