National Chocolate Cupcake Day 2024

I am a 'chocoholic'. I like chocolate to excess. I have eaten it even beyond that period of my life when it does metabolic damage.

Over the years I attempt to curb my craving for a taste of chocolate but it always reaches a point where I just go for it.

Today is National Chocolate Cupcake Day. It is an annual ocurrence each October 18 and celebrates the chocolate cupcake.

It is written that chocolate cupcakes first appeared in a 1796 cookbook called American Cookery and they have become increasingly more popular since then. The name 'cupcake' began around 1828 in another cook book.

You never had to convince me about the deliciousness of a chocolate cupcake.

Chocolate is my favorite flavor of cake in general.

So if you get the opportunity I hope you can indulge. I continue to work on my avoidance in an effort to keep my metabolic syndrome at bay — but it's a difficult matter.

Always has been.

Happy National Chocolate Cupcake Day to you.
