Cupcake recipes are much easier to serve than cakes! They make the perfect sized individual desserts! Whether you whip up a vanilla cake batter or a muffin batter and bake it in a muffin tin, the muffin mold is very versatile. Cupcakes are generally made from cake recipes and muffins are made by making a quick bread recipe. Either one makes a good birthday dessert, brunch idea, or snack to a cup of tea.
