Now that we finally have some privacy, I can ask the really important questions:

What is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin?

It's all a matter of texture, I think. At least in my experience with them. Cupcakes are creamier and smoother, like a cake, at least if they're made correctly, and muffins are less so.

[darkforcerising]

Now I need to go buy some cupcakes and muffins and check for texture.

I thought it was the presense of frosting.

[temptationaccomplished]

Oh, no, I'm pretty sure I've had spiced carrot muffins with cream cheese frosting, but perhaps they were mislabeled.

Then again, I have also had some very dense cupcakes. But by and large, I think cupcakes are supposed to be fluffier!

[darkforcerising]

I don't think carrot cake is actually cake. You can't convince me to change my mind.

[temptationaccomplished]

Then I shan't, but it's quite good, whatever the correct nomenclature.

let's not forget, this is coming from the man who thinks pixy stix is the hight of sugar done good

[darkforcerising]

Is it though?

[temptationaccomplished]

I think so. I suppose Confetti Cake is more your speed? Or triple chocolate? Frankly, I could go for a good tiramisu right now, but that's a whole different beast.

[darkforcerising]

Excuse you, it's called FUNfetti cake. And it's only acceptable if it has rainbow chip frosting.

[temptationaccomplished]

What in god's name is rainbow chip?

[darkforcerising]

This

is rainbow chip frosting.

[temptationaccomplished]

Are they chocolate? yogurt? Are the individual colors flavored differently?

[darkforcerising]

I don't know. I have never thought about finding out.

[temptationaccomplished]

But you are our resident scientist! What about scientific curiosity?

[darkforcerising]

I can't be the only scientist in our group, am I?

[temptationaccomplished]

Bitterblue is a computer scientist or some such? And Dr. Whitly is, I believe, a medical doctor so scientific by trade though not strictly a "scientist."

[darkforcerising]

I mean, my field of expertice is controlled explosions. Not food composition.

But I could look into it.

[temptationaccomplished]

I didn't mean anything so involved as food composition at, say, a chemical level.

I simply meant you, my dear, had a wonderful excuse to apply that famed Scientific Method I hear tell about and do an elaborate taste test.

[darkforcerising]

Based on previous taste test, I can't tell you what the rainbow chips are.

But it's definitely worth another test.
