How Cupcakes and Fairy cakes came to be?
Once upon a time, there was a young kitty called Cupcake from Australia.
Cupcake was a fine cat and all the children loved her. She loved curling up on the couch, purring and cozying up with everyone.
Cupcake loved cream very much. It was her favorite thing. She like it even better than fish. You knew that because there was never a drop of cream left in her dish. Whenever Cupcake took a nap everyone would say she must be dreaming of cream.
But what they didn't know was that Cupcake was dreaming of fairies. Tiny little people with wings on their backs. They were always very busy making beautiful cakes. All with pretty frosting impossible to resist. All the fairies loved Cupcake very much and gave all the cakes she could every eat. They were so rich and creamy that Cupcake thought she was in heaven.
There is a connection between children and cats. If they both went to sleep at the same time their dreams get intertwined. And this is what happen to Cupcake one day. Usually Cupcake was not allowed to sleep in the children's room because of the myth of cats sucking the life out of the children when they sleep. But one day when Katie, who was 3, was having an afternoon nap Cupcake crept into Katie's bed and went to sleep. And this is when Katie entered into Cupcake's dream world.
Katie had never seen a fairy before. Children can only see them through a cat's eye. She was amazed and bewildered. She had never seen such tiny creatures before. They were about the length of a ruler and they all flew around like busy bees. When she saw Cupcake she ran to her but that was when she got the shock of her three year old life. Cupcake could talk. Instead of meow she was talking. This was very weird for Katie knows that cats don't talk, they meow and purr.
Cupcake asked if she would like some cake. Of course Katie said "Yes, please!" But these cakes were the size of cups although to the fairies they were full size cakes. Watching Cupcake and Katie devour a whole one each and ask for seconds must have seemed like gluttony.
And this is how the cupcakes got their name. And this is why children also call cupcakes fairy cakes.
You see when Katie woke up she ran to her mother and asked her to make her a cake. But she insisted on putting the cake batter in tea cups. Her mother was a little puzzled but she tried it anyway. When they were ready Katie's mother took them out of the oven and all she just naturally and instinctively said was "the cupcakes are ready." Katie and Cupcake came running into the kitchen. "Not cupcake Mommy, Fairy cakes," Katie retorted. But Katie's mother had no idea what she was going on about. But everyday Katie would go on and on about the fairies making cakes in cups. Her mother never really understood and just kept on calling them cupcakes.
And this where Cupcake got her name. Before Cupcake was Cupcake she had no name. Everyone just called her Kitty because that was what she was, a kitty cat. But since Katie got her Mom to make the cakes in the teacups Kitty just couldn't seem to get enough of them. Everyone just started calling her Cupcake because she was always eating a cupcake. It seemed that Cupcake lived, ate and dreamed cupcakes. Cupcakes seemed to be competing with cream.
What do you think happened? Did cream get replaced by cupcakes?
