A Simple Hack for Eating Large Cupcakes

You’ll never eat a cupcake the same way again…

The idea of creating miniature cakes as a dessert is thought to have originated in 1796, when Amelia Simmons wrote about them in American Cookery. The idea came to fruition in 1828 when Eliza Leslie published the first recipe for a tiny cake one could bake in a tea cup. With a thin layer of sweet frosting or jam on top the tiny cake, the new dessert could be enjoyed in a few bites with little mess. Cupcakes rapidly became a sensation.
