NATIONAL VANILLA CUPCAKE DAY
National Vanilla Cupcake Day is observed annually on November 10. This is a day for dessert lovers across the country to celebrate and indulge.
Cupcakes have also been known to be called:
•Fairy Cakes
•Patty Cakes
•Cup Cakes (different from Cupcakes (one-word)
Cupcakes can be traced back to 1796 when a recipe notation for a cake to be baked in small cups was written in American Cookery (by Amelia Simmons). The earliest known documentation of the term cupcake was in 1828 in Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats in Eliza Leslie’s Receipts cookbook.
Cupcakes were originally baked in heavy pottery cups. Today, some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, larger teacups, or other small ovenproof pottery-type dishes for baking their cupcakes.
HOW TO OBSERVE
To celebrate National Vanilla Cupcake Day, share some cupcakes with your friends and family and watch an episode of the Food Network reality-based competition show, Cupcake Wars. Enjoy one of the following vanilla cupcake recipes.

Here’s my comparison picture of Zoe and Her Pet Fish (left) with Mrs. Retro Mama (right). This is also for the theme “Twenty-five” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Their dresses and shoes are included in the count of “things that are yellow” but their hair is not! I made Zoe’s dress; Mama’s dress is vintage Skipper.

These Blythe dolls are my Candy Carnival twins, wearing their stock dresses. As you can see, one came out of the box with shorter bangs than the other one did. The background is a jigsaw puzzle. It was rather difficult, but I’m glad I stuck with it and finished it, because it looks great!
Following on from the Spring version, as the garden had so many lovely small flowers that are difficult to display in a more traditional vase arrangement. Flowers include blue Echiums, yellow Loosestrife, pink Loosestrife, sweat peas, scarlet Crocosmia and mauve Budlia. Due to the setup, I have to shoot these with the camera's kit lens at its wide angle setting which creates all sorts of issues with warped geometry and objects not appearing in the photo in the position you place them in due to perspective distortion. The top inch or so, of tile, had to be digitally recreated to fit the top of the stick in even though, in reality, it fitted inside the confines of the tile, the fact that it's elevated slightly, combined with the wide angle, cause it to bow away hence the need for a lot of cloning!
