Can you really differentiate pineapple muffin and cupcake? Some of you may answer yes simply because you know that cupcakes will have some crazy sugary glaze to decorate the top part of the cupcake. But what if the muffins are decorated the same way? Would you be able to tell the difference again? After all, if cupcakes are treated the way they are with those decorations, then why muffins are not allowed to have the same treatment? There are no restrictions that muffins cannot have certain decorations and must look so blunt. But we all know that it is cupcake which is treated that way first, and therefore it is not only more common but also a must for a cupcake to be decorated. When it is not decorated, many people would think that it is not finished.
Although a cupcake is a feast to the eye, but many are aware that those decorations are not healthy, even those claiming that their cupcakes are vegan. Therefore, a muffin is healthier. Muffins are also great for those who do not like sweet too much. At times, we will find savory muffins that are loaded with cheese or meat. One of the distinguishing factors between cupcakes and muffins are the texture. Once you take a bite on the two items, you will realize that the muffins are dryer and also a little bit denser when compared to cupcakes.
As miniature cakes, cupcakes are usually sweet and are commonly served in flavors like chocolate, vanilla, and even red velvet. However, in the development of cupcakes, as there are so many bakers specializing on these cute cakes, there are also savory tastes like bacon tastes and even those spicier cupcakes that are filled with jalapeno. But of course, those special cupcakes may not be your everyday cupcakes. Personally, I would never want to try those cupcakes as I only love sweet cupcakes. The cupcake is a little bit tenderer than muffins because it contains quite an amount of butter and also eggs.
As cupcakes always receive the royal treatments of decoration crowns, they must be frosted. You can enjoy a warm muffin but you can never taste warm decorated cupcakes. The cupcakes can never be decorated if they are warm. The decoration will be melting because of the heat. That is why bakers will put cupcakes in the refrigerator before starting on the decoration. When it comes to taste, both are equally tasty and it is so difficult to choose.
