Prepare for the Coming of the Cupcake

New York Insider can't find solid evidence about who actually decides this sort of thing, but according to multiple sources, tomorrow, October 18, is National Cupcake Day. Celebrate with a tasty treat (or three) at our favorite Manhattan confectioners: Magnolia Bakery, Buttercup Bake Shop or, for the gluten-intolerant, Babycakes. Prior to your binge, you can also lick up info on America's favorite compact confection over at the fun blog Cupcakes Take the Cake. Happy eating!
