Day 4: These Cupcakes Take the Cake!

Cupcakes, a sweet treat loved by almost everyone. With the hundreds of ways to make this yummy confection, it is among the most popular desserts in the United States.

The pecan bits were coated in pure butter and folded into the batter. The cupcakes were then baked to perfection and were joined by a sweet buttercream icing that was rich and sugary. The red velvet cupcakes were a mouth-watering combination of chocolate and cream cheese. True to its name, these cupcakes tasted as smooth as velvet. Accompanying the cake was a fluffy cream cheese icing that leaves you craving for more.

You can likely see how this stemmed off into pizza, as more toppings were added, more it shaped up into the dish we know and love. The first ever pizza is recorded to have been made in Gaeta, an italian city, in 997 AD. Since then pizza has gone international, becoming so regular here in the US of A that it's considered at home next to American made dishes like burgers. I believe what led to this explosion of pizza popularity would have to be how customizable it is. Dream it up and you can probably put it on a pizza. Ham, sure! Pineapple, go for it. Chocolate, I think. Basketballs, technically. Anyway, ...
