Cupcakes begun to be noticed in the united states in the late 19 century. It's not exactly known if they were called cupcakes because they were actually made in cups, or because the ingredients were measured by the cuo. Cupcakes were also once known as "Number Cakes"

Cupcakes are known the be decorated as pleased. They are used for special celebrations. For holidays people use them as a dessert as well as a decoration. There's many different ways to decorate them, with all colors and even designing them with the frosting. There is no limit to the imagination, people always come up with different ways to decorate them.

The ingredients to making a cupcake are four basic ingredients, starting with one cup of butter, two cups of sugar, three cups of flour, and four eggs. Although those are the basic ones, the ingredients change whenever you bake a different type of cupcake, they all change depending on what type you want to make.

This topic intrest me because its simple but yet very fun, the decoration can be the most funnest, do to the fact that you can decorate the cupcakes how ever you like. I grew up baking cakes, and cupcakes with my mom thats why learning more facts about cupcakes, and because the decoration can be done however you please and there is no right or wrong way to do it, and i always like to do things my way, thats why this topic seemed to be one that interest out for me.

[|History2]

Liars, liars, liars! i hate them! Its a very bad habit and its hard to ever trust a liar again. Just like..."once a cheater always a cheater." Same, "once a lair always a liar." There's no point in lying, the truth eventually comes out anyway. Personally i rather be known as anything, than as a liar just speak the truth and be honest rather than tell lies.

As a teen it almost becomes almost impossible to lie, you want to go out and have fun, but you know your parents wont let you so you lie to them and say your going go to a friends house to study but your really going to go drink or do all that cray things teens like to do. Its worth the lie for that moment but then if you drink or go get high and lie about it then when you get home your high or drunk and Your parents end up finding out and it wasn't worth lying and loosing your parents trust. It becomes a very bad habit to lie, kids lie about everything.. love,drugs and anything else you can think of. Say you get home drunk and then what happens your caught and you can't even go out now, your parents don't trust you and they know your going to go and drink. Its not always a smart thing to do.

In some cases people lie about love. People cheat and lie about NOT cheating. Lying about not cheating is also not a very good idea, word always gets around and your boyfriend o girlfriend ends up finding out and ends up even more hurt then they would have bin if they would have told you the truth! Sometimes people get away with it but you live with the guilt of cheating and lying to the one you said you like, or even loved.

So the best thing to because its a bad habit and it only gets worse. Just be honest to yourself and others!

Lairs liars liars! I hate them. I personally hate them, or better said dislike because hate is a very strong word. I can remember being lied to some many times, so know its very hard from me to ever believe anything anyone tells me. When i was younger my mom would always lie to me about going to do things, she would always say "Yes Hazel we're going to go out , i know your tired of being home" and "Yes I'll buy it for you for your birthday" none of it never really happend and when it did i wasnt as excited as i would of been when I asked for it. Know not only my mom lies but so called friends or even boyfriends.

Too me everything seems like a lie, I don't expect god things from everyone cause when i do i end up disippointed. So to make my self feel better i try not to lie, everyone lies at one point. I lie all the time, but i try not to have anyones feelings involved. Its a bad hbit to lie, and when you know when it gets bad is when you don't acctually notice that your lying and not only the person your telling, believes it but you also believe it. People lie for many reasons, love , drugs , fun , and many other things. I have been in a situation where I have lied to go and have fun, i say I'ma go out and study , actually go out to my friends and go do something totally different. Its not such a bright idea because when i get home, I'm not sober and my parents find out and there go all my fun nights. One lie and ruien so many things like just being able to go over to the neighboors because now they think your going to go out and come back home like you did "the other night". I lost my parents trust and the fun nights with my friends.

I have been lied to about not being cheated on. It was worse finding out threw many other people and not your boyfriend. When you ask your boyfriend "Is it true you were kissing that girl at the party on Friday" Obviously he's going to deny it because he dosen't want to get caught, but then when you get to school your friends tell you, I ask and they say they did see him kissing that girl at the party on Friday. It would be a trillion times better if they would just be straight up and just tell you they did, instead of looking naive in , people wondering how i let it happen. All that had to be done was conffess and say you did do it break up and thats it. It ends up hurting alot less than being lied to.
