National Cupcake Day 2025: Here are 5 sweet deals for Dec. 15

Craving something sweet? National Cupcake Day is Monday, Dec. 15, and bakeries across the nation are celebrating with discounts and deals. 

Amelia Simmons is credited as the creator of the cupcake, according to Food52. In 1796, she published what is now recognized as the first American cookbook. In it was a recipe that called for sugar, butter, flour, wine, rosewater, nutmeg, cinnamon, currents and emptins (a leavening agent) and called to bake it in small cups.

Nowadays, cupcakes are a ubiquitous versatile treat with all sorts of cake, frosting and filling flavors. Below are five bakeries offering deals for National Cupcake Day this year.
