Welcome to National Chocolate Cupcake Day!
National Chocolate Cupcake Day is celebrated annually on October 18. This is the day for Chocolate and dessert lovers!
Cupcakes have also been known to be called:
- Fairy Cakes
- Patty Cakes
- Cup Cakes (different from Cupcakes (one-word)
Cupcakes were originally baked in heavy pottery cups. Today, some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, large tea cups, or other small ovenproof pottery-type dishes for baking their cupcakes.

Q&A with JB on His Suspension and Competing in the ACC (cbssports.com; Rothstein)
Jim Boeheim is attempting to lead Syracuse back to the NCAA Tournament. The Hall-of-Fame coach is on the heels of an 18-13 season and will miss the Orange's first nine ACC games during the upcoming year due to suspension. CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein sat down with Boeheim in Syracuse to discuss last season's struggles, Kaleb Joseph, and what the Orange have to do in order to return to the field of 68 next March.
Jon Rothstein, CBS Sports: So given all the different things you had to deal with, was last season about as hard of an all-around year as you had to deal with since you've been at Syracuse?
Jim Boeheim: They're all tough. Every year has its own different parts to it. From a basketball point of view, we probably won more than we should have because we had so many problems with Chris (McCullough) going out and we thought he would grow into a big part of our team. Even though he started slow, he played well in some of the non-conference games. He won the Iowa game for us and if we were in position to get a bid that would have been a big win because they were a tournament team. He played really well in a couple of other non-conference games too. He had a slow start in some of the conference games, but we were winning so it was OK. But he would have evolved and we needed another guy on the front line that would have been helpful. Losing him early was a big key and the other thing was Kaleb (Joseph) wasn't ready last year. He's gained 16 pounds since last year. He was 160 pounds -- he wasn't big enough or strong enough. Most freshman point guards can't play. They can be very good eventually, but we needed him to do too much. There's a lot of really good point guards who in their freshman year were not very good. It wasn't that he was terrible -- he just wasn't good enough. I think those were the two things that stood out...
