Cupcakes are like cake in consitancy and are cooked in parchment cups that are placed in a muffin tin!. Cupcakes are usually iced on top like a mini version of a much larger cake, hence CUP CAKES!!

Muffins are baked without the parchment cup in the muffin tin!. Muffins can be coarse (Bran Muffins) or more like a cake but filled with goodies like choclate chips, blueberries, blackberries or Cream Cheese center unlike cupcakes!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cupcakes usually have icing on them and are supposed to be little, miniature cakes!. They're for special occasions!. Muffins are usually eaten at breakfast, don't have icing on them, and often contain fruit of some sort!. Blueberry muffins are popular in the US!. Some people put butter on them, and they are eaten warm, if possible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

muffins are generally made from real fruits like blueberry strawberry etc dont involve any icing and are generally much healthier for you -- cupcakes are made from cake batter and generally covered in sugary sweet icing are much sweeter and fattierWww@FoodAQ@Com

A cupcake is a miniature cake, with iceing; a muffin is more bread-like, usually with corn meal, nuts or fruit!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Hhmmm!.!.!.the easiest way to explain would be this:

A muffin is a mini-version of bread, whereas a cupcake is a mini-version of cake!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A cupcake is usually a cake mix and it has icing on it!. A muffin could be a blueberry, corn, apple or any kind of muffin!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Cupcakes are like individual cakes with frosting on them!. Muffins are more like a bread!.!.!.banana bread, blueberry bread!.!.!.you get the idea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Agree with Kartrina!. Usually far less sugar in the muffin alsoWww@FoodAQ@Com
