Muffins or Cupcakes (Verbal WAR!)

Muffins prevent scurvy, cupcakes cause demeaning bad hair days!!

 

soo hard o.e

 

Muffins are mounds of tasteless bread, Cupcakes are topped and filled with pure delicacy

 

Muffins: Moist; in many cases, somewhat melt-in-your-mouth. Muffins are usually just as sweet, if not sweeter than cakes. They are also commonly iced, just not as commonly as cakes. Due to the low number of muffins that get iced, a high-quality icing, often butter-cream or similar, is normally used.

Cakes: Invariably drier than muffins. Cakes have more of a dry, powdered sugar sweetness to them, as opposed to a muffin's nectar or honey-like sweetness. Being very commonly iced, they have a much higher propensity for having poor-quality icing.

 

I must say muffins. They're usually bigger and more filling and can have loads of different kinds flavours of fillings or whatever they're called. And muffins don't give you diabetes after one bite. Also Muffins can be eaten at any time of day, while cupcakes are more of a dessert.

 

Invariably muffins. Especially triple chocolate chunk muffins. I love the ones from Sam's Club that are like, 4" in diameter. Have one of those for breakfast with a tall glass of ice cold milk. P: This is making me hungry.

Muffins are healthier, moister, tastier, and awesomer.

 

If Derpy:Muffins:inkie Pie:Cupcakes and if Derpyinkie Pie::Muffins:Cupcakes, then it would make logical since that if Derpy>Pinkie Pie then Muffins>Cupcakes.

That, and it has more votes.

 

I argue the common idea that cupcakes are drier than muffins. Both, when made ocrrectly, are very nicely moist on the inside and firm on the outside, making for a non-crumbly snack dessert for me to enjoy.

That said, people are obssessed with putting nuts in muffins for some asinine reason. This is an offense to me and my squirrelly kin, an also contend that the joys of a well made cupcake are magnificient where a well made muffin, even without nuts, is merely so good. There is a richness to the flavor that rolls about your tounge like a wave sweet bliss with the cup cakes, a savory and satisfactory experience.

Your muffins cannot stand against the divine cupcakes I have tasted. Behold them and despair, or get off my lawn, or it shall be WAR.

And I use Rhubarb.

 

*monocle*

While your response is quite clever and thought-out, I must say I disagree with your statement. While both cupcakes and muffins can be moist, and I have had a moist cupcake before, muffins often have a denser, thicker consistency than a cupcake. When one is in the mood for something light, then yes, cupcakes are better. However, when one is quite hungry but doesn't have the time for a full meal, nothing hits the spot like a large muffin. Also, muffins are friendly toward all health situations, while cupcakes have to be made specially for diabetics if they want one. Muffins, on the other hand, often sponsor various fruit and nuts, which are both quite healthy for all ages.

Although, I must say, the best cupcake/muffin is a Macintosh-sized cupcake/muffin. In this case, bigger is quite definitely... better. I had a cupcake once that was the size of one of those store-bought personal cakes. Huge.

Another drawback for cupcakes is most people feel the absolute necessity to put sprinkles on them. I do not feel that sprinkles are a good addition to anything, really. *sip tea and eat a small piece of muffin*

 

Relevant:



I personally like English muffins more than cupcakes and American muffins combined.They are soft, puffy, bready clumps of deliciousness. No matter what you put in an English muffin, it'll always turn out okay.

Always.


Edit: I might as well give you my two pence on the intricacies of the two pastries this thread concerns itself with, as I'm pretty sure that was original point.

Muffins: Usually have something in the dough like chocolate chips or blueberries, which help tie the pasty together to a near-perfect point of moist stickyness. They tend to be larger too.

Cupcakes: Smaller, most of the time dryer, but they have toppings! Icing, sprnkles and cherries do a lot for me.

 

^^ *puts on monocle, top hat, and moustache as well*

I concur with your reasoning. I do find that bigger is, indeed better, in terms of not only muffin volume, but in many other subjects as well. Also I disagree with some persons reasoning that a muffin is little more than a bald cupcake when, in reality, they have a slightly different makeup of ingredients and are prepared in a different way when compared to cupcakes, not to mention the slightly higher health value.

But, all-in-all it's all in the matter of preference, really. There are certain qualities in a cupcake that a muffin, sadly, lacks that some parties may prefer, thus causing the whole reason we're having this discussion in the first place.

Of course, nothing quite beats the fresh juiciness of a ripe peach... Erm... may I? *helps self to some tea as well* Pip-pip a doodily-doo. *mustache falls into tea*

 

^.^ *puts mustache back on upside-down*

Quite right, quite right. *uses unicorn magic to materialize cupcakes, muffins, and various fruits before helping self to an apple* I'm not sure which one I prefer: a good juicy Braeburn apple or a Yellow Cling peach. But that's out of topic.

To join both, I quite like apple cinnamon muffins.

 

*grabs a peach and takes a bite before continuing*

True, Apple Cinnamon Muffins are some of the elite of muffin flavors, but one cannot ignore the delicious simplicity of a Butter Muffin.

 

I've never had one. However, I have had a Pumpkin Muffin. Quite good.

 

As much as I like both, muffins come in bigger sizes, cupcakes are tiny and come in small packages. Cupcakes cause fear and nightmares in many bronies/pegasisters, muffins cause happiness and joy.

 

Cupcakes. I don't want something "Filling" after dinner. I'm probably already pretty much full. Muffins are too big for deserts, where as cupcakes are just right! When made with good icing, they can be such tasty treats!

I guess it depends where you get your cupcakes from though.

 

HA! But muffins aren't dessert food, they're morning food.
