While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.

A little frosting to start the day - November 10 is National Vanilla Cupcake Day!

Treat yourself, because today is about celebrating one of life's sweetest simple pleasures, the great vanilla cupcake.

Vanilla is never boring, especially when it's baked into cupcakes and slathered on top in rich, creamy frosting. While vanilla cupcakes were long regarded as a confection best enjoyed at kid's birthday parties, these delicate little cakes are perfect for any occasion - especially snacking.

While you can hit up the neighborhood bakery for a quick fix, settle into the kitchen and bake up a scrumptious snack. Regular vanilla cupcakes are already quite spectacular, but make an even bigger spectacle today with White Linen Cupcakes. These little puppies combine mascarpone frosting and curls upon curls of luscious white chocolate, all on top of moist cupcakes.

If you're the kind that craves cupcakes all of the time, you're not alone - Andy Samberg and Chris Parnell would love to "hit up Magnolia and mack on some cupcakes" with you, especially on a "Lazy Sunday."

    Maybe we should make this a "Hallmark Holiday" and send cards to all our friends.

      Forget the card and send me a dozen cup cakes with cheesey puffs instead!
