The difference between a cupcake and a muffin: cupcakes come topped with an obscene amount of frosting. Muffins are cupcakes that you fool yourself into thinking of as a healthy breakfast food because they do not have a mountain of frosting on top.
The Muffin Man is seated at the table In the laboratory of the Utility Muffin Research Kitchen . . . Reaching for an oversized chrome spoon He gathers an intimate quantity of dried muffin remnants And brushing his scapular aside Proceeds to dump these inside of his shirt. . . He turns to us and speaks: “Some people like cupcakes better. I for one Care less for them!”
Cupcakes are truly a cake, light & fluffy, where as muffins are actually breads. The differing ratios of sugars, flours, oils & liquids create either light or dense.
Some people . . . some people like cupcakes exclusively,While I myself say there is naught, nor ought there beNothing so exalted on the face of God’s grey earthAs that prince of foods . . . The Muffin!"

How about the question of why hot dogs come in packages of 10, and hot dog buns come in packages of 8?

It’s all about the sugar content. Marie Antoinette should know.

A muffin (US type) tends to be mixed less precisely than a cup cake, but to me they are the same thing.

I don’t care. Either is good with coffee in the a.m.

I always thought cupcakes were sweeter, but then someone came out with the coffee cake muffin and it’s just coated with sugar.

If he doesn’t know the difference, then he is not enlightened!

Muffins are heavier, they often have bran in them and people eat them for fiber.
A cupcake is made from cake batter and serves as a light dessert.

And why are pancakes (made from cake batter, topped with atrocious amounts of sugar syrup) an acceptable breakfast, and cake is not?!

Alligator vs. crocodile?
Chickpea vs. garbanzo bean?
Seal vs. sea lion?
Banyan vs. cypress?
I’m sure there ARE answers to all these questions, but I can’t remember them, either.

Cupcakes are light and fluffy and designed to taste good. Muffins are heavy and stodgy and designed to make you poop.

Cupcakes have a frosting and the cake is sweeter than a muffin. A muffin is usually not as sweet and has fruit or bran.

Lick the topping off the cupcake and you now have a healthy muffin! You’re welcome.

Your Mother would let you eat a muffin for breakfast, but not a cupcake.

God! So simple – why don’t you ask a hard question?
A cupcake is a cupcake and a muffin is a muffin.
There – everybody happy now?

Most hot dogs now come in packages of 8 the same as the buns. It has been that way for a long time.

Cupcakes have frosting, muffins don’t.
