When making cupcakes, it seems to many that this dessert has an understandable origin. Cupcakes, as a pastry, are associated with England. However, this is a mistaken opinion. The fact is that cupcakes appeared in ancient Rome. Of course, the way of cooking a cupcake in ancient times differed from the modern one. But, the beginning in baking cupcakes was laid long before the formation of England. The
second birth of cupcakes in culinary history occurred in the Middle Ages
.
Then cane sugar began to be brought to Europe, which helped confectioners to get new ways of preparing pastries and desserts. New cupcakes began to be baked. English chefs excelled in this business.
