What's the difference between a cupcake and a muffin?

A cupcake is like a little cloud of sweetness, while a muffin is more like a cozy blanket made of food.

A cupcake usually has a smooth top and a round shape, kind of like a mini cake. It often has frosting on top, which is like a sweet hug for your tongue. A muffin, on the other hand, is a bit bumpier, with little ridges on top, like when you press your fingers into soft dough. Muffins also tend to be bigger and more filling than cupcakes.

Cupcakes are often light and fluffy, they’re like the softest pillow you’ve ever had. Muffins are usually a bit denser, like a warm sandwich that makes you feel full and happy.

People often eat cupcakes with their hands, maybe even while playing or watching cartoons. Muffins are more like breakfast friends, they’re easy to grab and go, perfect for rushing out the door in the morning.
