Cup cake isa cake mix, a muffin you don't cream the butter and sugar and you Just mix. You tend to have a wet mix and a dry mix for muffins.

lol. not these days, it is the way the "product" is presented.... Ever eaten a "muffin" from the Supermarket, bakery. Most bakeries are making products using "Bakels" ingredients. One mix, many different products. We made all of our products from scratch. We did use the stabilizers though, made it easy, and speedy.

Bakels still make seperate mixes though and a decent bakery would use different mixes. The muffin one is called Foodstuff Muffin Mix and the cake one is Petina Cake Mix. Muffin mix has egg, water and oil added, while the cake mix only has water and egg mix. They have different textures and drop weights to the product and they are also baked differently.

Somehow, curry in a muffin sounds ok...like savoury muffins. But to me a cupcake is a pretty, delicate little cake in a paper cup, all nicely decorated with pretty little thingys on the top. Curry and pretty decorations dont equal for me..

Yick. And the chemcially taste is nasty. Even my kids wont eat supermarket ones anymore. I think lots of low-cost bakeries in the community use the same stuff.

The first time we visited Sydney, we queued up to buy cakes from this "Bakery". They were all filled with the same yellow mucky..mock cream..cheese cake, custard, cream, fruit tart, choc eclair. We did not even eat them. People were queued up out onto the footpath, we thought we were going to be in for a real treat. The cakes looked very nice, that is all they had going for them.

I've just measured the normal cup cake papers I use for any cupcakes & they are 50mm (5cm) across the base & 75mm (7.5cm) across the top. Hope this helps.
