Happy National Vanilla Cupcake Day!

We'll have many more vanilla cupcakes for you today as we celebrate National Vanilla Cupcake Day (have you made some? Email us at cupcakestakethecake at gmail.com with "Vanilla" in the subject line and your URL or photo, though, as always, the best place to submit photos is via our Flickr pool) or send links we can retweet on Twitter (we're @cupcakeblog). Thanks and hope you have a delicious National Vanilla Cupcake Day! The next cupcake holiday is National Cupcake Day on December 15th! See the master list of American food holidays here. And tomorrow is our latest Twitter chat, taking place on Friday, November 11 at 2PM EST. Follow @cupcakeblog on Twitter as well as follow the hashtag #cupcakechat.

This beautiful vanilla cupcake is by blogger The Lone Baker, who always goes all out, and who has the recipe for you! Via Flickr. Officially, it's "Vanilla fairy cake with Fluffy Mock Vanilla Bean Cream and crystallised vanilla pod shred."
