Muffins and cupcakes share many similarities, however, there are a few characteristics that set these pastries apart. For one thing, muffins tend to be on the healthier side, as fruit can be added to them. They aren’t too sweet and can be made even healthier if the baker uses whole wheat four. Muffins are dryer than cupcakes. Cupcakes are sweet, soft, and are typically made with more eggs and butter. They are usually slathered in frosting.

Dear Betsy-I’m having a birthday party for my son next month-and I wanted to know the scoop-cake pops or cupcakes? Love, Freda Dear Freda-A cake pop is more like a cake ball which is an shaped like a chocolate truffle-being an individual portion of cake. These cake pops are formed from crumbled cake AND frosting, unlike the cupcake that is baked as a sphere. These are the new trend in the dessert world. On the other hand, cupcakes are classic, and you have more space to work with when it comes to decorating! -Betsy

• Cupcakes and cake pops are both dessets

• One is shaped liked a ball
