Muffins are not cupcakes

...but they can be equally as yummy.

I have a lot of people say to me 'so I hear you make awesome muffins' or 'was it you that brought those muffins in to work the other day?'

I have a lesson for you. It is called 'Muffins vs Cupcakes 101'.

Muffins can be savoury. Cupcakes can not.

Muffins are generally bigger than cupcakes (ie Texas muffins).

Muffins have barely any icing, if any at all. Cupcakes are laden with the good stuff.

My point is...

If it's a cupcake, don't call it a muffin. If it's a muffin, don't call it a cupcake.
