May 8, 2011 - PRLog -- Now here comes the cupcake catwalk. The Swedish photographer Therese Aldgard and styled by Lisa Edsalv have brought the tasty treats on the runway.  The duo has created 5 delicious cupcakes collection, inspired by Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Christian Louboutin, Agent Provocateur and Betsey Johnson. Cupcakes are made fashionable by the girls from Sex and the City and they are cool right now. So cool, in fact, that there is now even a National Cupcake Day (every December 15th)


Cupcakes have been an edible American icon since the 19th century. Prior to cupcakes, ingredients used in baking were primarily weighed rather than measured. These delightful little treats shifted the art of baking from weighing to measuring ingredients. For many years, cupcakes were known as one-two-three-four cakes because of their recipe: one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, four eggs, plus one cup of milk and one spoon full of baking soda. This formula is still the traditional cupcake recipe that many people use today.


Fun fact: the world's largest cupcake was on display in July 2009 at the Covent Garden Real Food Market in London. This cupcake was about 4 feet in diameter and weighed over 330 pounds! It also contained 200 eggs and took over 50 hours to make.
