National Cupcake Day is October 18th...or is it?

Several blogs point to October 18th as National Cupcake Day. So does MSNBC.

However, along with National Cheeseball Day (April 17), National Candied Orange Peel Day (May 4), National Peaches and Cream Day (June 21), National Bluberry Popsicle Day (September 2), National Gazpacho Day (December 6), the site National Food Holidays lists December 15th as National Cupcake Day.

What's a cupcake blogger to do? Let us know if you have any insight into this. Worst case, we get to celebrate twice!

Thanks everyone, you're all closer readers than I am. The best part, though, Catherine, is that November 10th, aka National Vanilla Cupcake Day, is also...my birthday!!! Even more awesome.
