What is National Lemon Cupcake Day?

National Lemon Cupcake Day is for those who enjoy this delectable baked dish, which is observed annually on December 15th.

In American Cookery, Amelia Simmons' first mention of the cupcake can be traced back to 1796, when a note notation of "a cake to be baked in small cups" was published. In Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook, the first evidence of the term cupcake was in "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats" in 1828.
