December, on the whole, doesn't require extra fripperies, bits of glitter, or additional accessories.
It has an excess of sparkle, is what we're saying, and we only need to look to the fun foodstuffs we devour in the days ahead of Hanukkah and Christmas to tell us we're experiencing the Quirkiest Cuisine Month of the Year.
And yet?
Sometimes we're seeking the frosting on top, the extra layer that's been layered onto the extra stuff, a further foray into the land o' fun foodstuffs.
To up the over-the-limit-ness of December's dining delightful ways, there is National Cupcake Day.
Nope, this light-hearted holiday doesn't show up in May, nor July, but plunk in the middle of the final month of the calendar.
