I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a whole lot about Cupcake in her not-so-furry incarnation. I know she was sold in Scandinavia and South Africa for sure, as part of a set including Truly, Hopscotch, Shady, Posey and Cherries Jubilee.

I almost wonder if one or two did slip over here, since the occasional one has turned up on the UK second hand market. Scans of Cupcake's Scandianvian-sold backcard style can be found on Truly's page.
