As with larger cakes, icing and other cake decorations, such as candy, may be applied. The first mention of the cupcake can be traced as far back as 1796, when a recipe notation of "a cake to be baked in small cups" was written in American Cookery by Amelia Simmons.[1] The earliest documentation of the term cupcake was in "Seventy-five Receipts for Pastry, Cakes, and Sweetmeats" in 1828 in Eliza Leslie's Receipts cookbook.[2] A Hostess CupCake, showing the typical "snack cake" style of cupcake. In the early 19th century, there were two different uses for the name cup cake or cupcake. In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or molds and took their name from the cups they were baked in. This is the use of the name that has remained, and the name of "cupcake" is now given to any small cake that is about the size of a teacup. While English fairy cakes vary in size more than American cupcakes, they are traditionally smaller and are rarely topped with elaborate icing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cupcake Candy Machine & Gumball Machines Playlist http://goo.gl/Deui28 Fun Toys for Kids Playlist http://goo.gl/2N12n7 EXTRA Long Videos / Compilations for Kids & Parents Playlist https://goo.gl/eRc8UD Easter Egg Coloring with different Designs & Colors Playlist http://goo.gl/ieSE5p Play-Doh - Collection DIY & Playdough Toys Playlist http://goo.gl/89WM86 Candy / Food from Germany / Europe / USA Playlist http://goo.gl/epgWYf Asia Candy & Snacks - Japanese Candy - DIY Food Playlist http://goo.gl/PEmrrg Angry Birds Toys, Calendars & Candy Playlist http://goo.gl/gBUfw1 Surprise Eggs - Super & Kinder Surprise Fun - Playlist http://goo.gl/aaHUqr

On most modern ATMs, the customer is identified by inserting a plastic ATM card with a magnetic stripe or a plastic smart card with a chip that contains a unique card number and some security information such as an expiration date or CVVC (CVV). Authentication is provided by the customer entering a personal identification number (PIN).

In his introduction he muses on the dangers for the translator of what is called Hiberno-English and also, on the other hand, of Standard English ... “Himself and the priest’s sister – that dark fancy slip of a thing with the pants – they are going to get married soon.” Titley’s version is an interesting example of his efforts to render the novel into contemporary English....

The Irish Times

15 Dec 2014

Since I’ve been away from Ireland, there’s nothing I miss more – not even Superquinn sausages or spectacular winter sunrises – than the lyrical, versatile, sometimes side-eyed and very often bonkers beauty of Hiberno-English ... No, I’m talking about all the little, unshowy words that we quietly nicked from the English and made our own....
