During the 19th Century the framework for cooking food at home changed dramatically. Advancements like indoor plumbing, stove technology, and food storage transformed the kitchen. With these new features baking became more efficient. New concepts emerged as the kitchen quickly evolved; ideas like making cakes smaller decreased baking time and, we assume, increased the joy in baking cakes. These smaller cakes were known as 'number cakes' because of their simplistic and easy to remember ingredient amounts. The term "cupcake" first appeared in an 1828 cookbook E. Leslie's 'Receipts', although the name origin is still not known. By the 20th Century consumerism standardized bakeware in the kitchen. And by the 1950s most kitchens had some type of metal 'cupcake' pan that featured 6 to 12 cups for mini cakes.
The cupcake has become a staple for baked items in the home kitchens and an elaborate version is now standard for most bakeries. We tend to like ours the best. Just look at that icing! It's crazy good!
