Utah Loves Cupcakes

Cupcake History Infographic

Many a day do I hear phrases like:
- “I am so surprised people like cupcakes.”
- “Who started this cupcake trend, anyway?”
- “Cupcakes are dead.”

…and of course many more.

I am continually surprised that so many people think cupcakes are just a trend, when in fact cupcakes have been around for such a long time.

I honestly believe that if a bakery or cupcakery has a wonderful, quality product, their cupcakes and their shops will continue to be open and serve many sweet-toothed customers.

Check out this infographic about the history of cupcakes. It dates back to 1796. Pretty cool. And it has some very interesting facts about the cupcake business. Here in Utah I continue to see lots of growth–most significantly in established cupcake shops opening up second and third locations.

Enjoy!

PS…don’t think I’m around too much? Wrong. I’ve been super busy blogging on my Project Domestication blog and tweeting daily. I’d love to chat with you.
