Oh my Cupcake!
The cake's two possible names can be explained by the fact that its ingredients used to be measured out in cups, and that these cakes are cooked in small individual moulds, producing portions fit for a fairy.
"Cupcake mania" erupted in the United States after they appeared in the well-known TV show Sex and the City and has spread to all four corners of the globe. So take part in it yourself!
