classification
David Sax cites the show as an example of picking up and spreading nutrition trends. Cupcakes are actually one of the types of pastry that has been baked in North America for a long time. The term cupcake was first mentioned in 1796 in the American Cookery book by the American Amelia Simmons. Cupcakes became an in-trend towards the end of the 1990s. The range of elaborately decorated cupcakes, which was initially limited to a small area in New York and which was enthusiastically picked up by customers, was initially only briefly reported in the local press, but attracted ever greater media interest and was also taken up in TV shows playing in New York.
Through the episode obstacle course (original title: No Ifs, Ands, or Butts ) of the series Sex and the City , which first aired in 2000, people all over the USA became aware of this phenomenon. One of the possible reasons is the city tours, which took fans to locations of the series and also visited the Magnolia Bakery, in front of which this scene played. Different media picked up on this trend in different ways. One of the programs was Cupcake Wars on the Food Network channel , which first aired in December 2009. DC Cupcakes as a reality show was launched six months later by the broadcaster TLC.
