Cupcakes vs. Muffins

[classact]

Of the two types of foods, which one do you have more fun baking, and which one is the easier one for you (if there's any difference)? Generally I enjoy cooking both because I love eating them afterwards, but for me putting on the frosting for cupcakes is the most fun part of it all. :D

I haven’t been able to make either one of those two because we don’t have an oven at home. Having an oven means that you have lots of money here in Asian countries. I’m not one of those fortunate enough.

Well... I prefer cupcakes because they're wonderful, cute, fun, and I love frosting. But I make muffins much more often because they're easier to make healthy.

I think muffins are easier to make because they are easier to get into the pan vs, getting the batter into those cupcake liners...

lol... I can't say how I understand how pouring muffin or cupcake batter into pans is different. The consistency of both kinds of batter is almost exactly the same! I think it's the lack of frosting that makes muffins easier-- and they're healthier in general.

I prefer muffins

Making muffins is easier, but when they come out of the oven, I do love the cupcakes. (Besides, you get to decorate the cupcakes and that's half the fun)

Cupcakes are moist and can stay a little longer and i like to decorate them.
But i make muffins more because they are easier to make (no mixer needed).

I like muffins because you can add berries, chocolate chips, dried fruit and oats to the mixture. You can also prepare muffin mixture the night before and cook them next day for breakfast.

Sometimes you have to have muffins. Sometimes you have to have cupcakes. Why must I choose one?

Muffins are the best choice. I made cupcakes a few weeks ago, you can see the disasterous outcome on my blog (http://yummy4tum.blogspot.com/), but although I've never made muffins, generally I think they look better and taste better. They are definatly my favourites!!!! Go with the muffins!!!
