It's National Cupcake Day

The cupcake. Small, yet, so very powerful in the hands of the right masters.

When you crave something cake-like that you can eat on the go, a fun treat for the kids, and the kid in you, for many the cupcake is the quintessential treat.

So, it makes sense there be a day set aside to celebrate it. And, if your tightening waistbands have restricted more than your bellies, consider today the day to forgive yourself just one little nosh.
