Cupcakes emerged in the 19th century, initially baked in individual cups or ramekins due to the convenience and efficiency they offered over larger cakes. The advent of baking powder and readily available sugar made baking more accessible, contributing to their popularity. Chocolate cupcakes gained traction as cocoa powder and chocolate became more affordable.
Cupcakes, especially chocolate with vanilla frosting, are a staple in American celebrations and everyday treats, often representing comfort, nostalgia, and a touch of indulgence.

Popular Bakery Item
Chocolate cupcakes are a standard offering in most bakeries and cafes, reflecting their widespread appeal.
The flavor profile is a balance of rich chocolate and sweet vanilla, with a moist and tender crumb.
The chocolate cupcake offers a deep, slightly bitter chocolate flavor derived from cocoa powder and potentially melted chocolate. This is complemented by the sweet, creamy, and buttery flavor of SusieCakes' signature vanilla buttercream frosting. The buttercream adds a smooth texture that contrasts with the cupcake's crumb, creating a delightful sensory experience.
Temperature
Allow the cupcake to come to room temperature for the best flavor and texture. Cold frosting can dull the taste and harden the buttercream.
Pairing
Enjoy the cupcake with a glass of cold milk, coffee, or tea to complement the sweetness and richness.
Storage
Store leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
