More about Cupcakes and Muffins
A cupcake, fairy cake or patty cake is a small cake designed to serve one person, usually made in a small paper cup containers. Frosting or icing and other cake decorations including sprinkles, chocolate, fruit, are defining characteristics of modern cupcakes.
The range of cake flavours, icings and decorations is almost limitless, and cupcakes are widely used for many diffferent occasions, including weddings, birthday parties and many other celebrations.
The name "cupcake" is given as it is a small cake the size of a teacup. In previous centuries, before muffin tins were widely available, the cakes were often baked in individual pottery cups, ramekins, or moulds. The name "fairy cake" is a fanciful description of its size - an appropriate size for a party of diminutive fairies to share.
Cupcakes are often served during a celebration, such as weddings and children's birthday parties. Additionally, they can be served as an accompaniment to afternoon tea. They are a more convenient alternative to cake as they are smaller and don't require plates, utensils or division into individual portions.
A simple cupcake uses the same basic ingredients as standard-sized cakes: butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. They do not have to utilize all these ingredients - eggs and butter may be substituted for vegans or people with allergies.
Cupcake recipe books offer a wonderful range of flavours, decorating styles and presentation ideas - imagine cupcakes arranged to form a croquembouche-style wedding cake, secured in place in a polystyrene ball to form a bouquet, or individually decorated for the guests at a birthday party. Cupcakes are a perfect part of any themed party or occasion - fairy parties, pirate parties, Christmas, Easter, birthdays.
A muffin is like a cupcake in that they both have cylindrical bases and rounded conical tops. Muffins are usually not as sweet as cupcakes and are usually not iced or decorated. Savoury varieties such as cornbread muffins also exist. There are many varieties and flavours of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot. These ingredients are then baked into the muffin.
