Cupcakes vs Muffins

There might be some technical differences that a cook could tell us about, but from the consumer's point of view, the difference seems to be that a cupcake really is like a miniature cake: light in weight, sweet, and often covered with icing and decorations. It tends to be not too tall because it's texture isn't strong enough to allow for a very tall structure. It's always made with white flour as far as I know. A muffin is significantly heavier in texture and also in weight; with its cohesiveness, it can contain fruits, nuts or honey, which are not common in cupcakes. It is never iced and need not be particularly sweet. It can be made with ingredients as heavy as bran, and can be rather tall and have a large overhanging rim that doesn't threaten to fall off. (The cupcake also has a rim, but it is rather delicate and not too large.)

If you threw a cupcake against the wall, you would hear something of a "poof!" If you threw a muffin, you would hear a "thud!"

Sociologically, a muffin is everyday living, whereas a cupcake is "we're getting fancy." Theoretically, a man could say, "hey honey" to his waitress while he was chewing on a muffin, but with cupcake in his mouth he could only say, "my dear." If you were writing a novel, it would be a gross literary error to substitute a cupcake for a muffin. Take note boys...

Forget me not


Ni gambar lama2 lupa nak letak.Rugi rasanya I didn't snap much.So from now on I must take more photos!



Toppings

I had enquiries on the toppings. Here are the cupcakes toppings that I have always paired with
Carrots + cream cheese
Vanillas + buttercream
Choc chips/chocolate + choc glaze/fudge

All my toppings uses icing sugar. I have to date found the least sugar ingredient recipes to make these toppings. If you still find them too sweet, you may scrape them off and simply enjoy the cake. Without the exact measurement of the sugar, the icing might not hold its shape.

Have me...have me not?



Hunger for your...cupcakes...





Let the photos do the talking.

I am naming the ones with the m&m's chocolate dots and the other one sprinkles.

So the next time you would like to place an order you can name the design you want.

For the love of carrots...These are carrot cakes with cream cheese toppings.
Carrot haters will be come lovers.

More love!








Here are some more pics of cupcakes ordered.

Next...carrots...yes...carrots.

Pancakes anyone??





I love pancakes. Had some for breakfast today with Fateeha. Here is my pancake recipe.
Dry mixture
1 1/2 cup flour
3 1/2 tsp. baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp. sugar
sift the above together

Batter
1 1/4 cup milk
1 egg
3 tbsp. butter
vanilla for taste
The magic for fluffy pancake is...separate the yolk. Beat white egg separately till foamy. Then put it back in...I learned this after doing loadsss of pancakes.
Put the batter in the sifted mixture. And voila!Be hold pancakes!
