yes.
Any cupcake recipe may be used for birthday cupcakes; fancy frosting, perhaps some sugar decorations and most importantly, a candle on each cupcake will signify that they are "birthday cupcakes."
errrrrr.
No. Unless you want like a blueberry cupcake. The possibly. And muffins aren't sweet enough to be cupcakes. Not enough sugar.
Caster sugar has finer granules than regular (or "granulated") sugar. For cupcakes, you should be able to use regular sugar instead of castor without any detriment to the final product.
Caster sugar is heavier.
Muffins are a lot bigger than cupcakes and on cupcakes the icing seems to be hard and smooth! :)More information:The distinction between American style muffins and cupcakes can be hazy. The product called "muffins" in the U.S. might be called "tea cakes" in Great Britain. Technically, muffins are made with the same batter as quick breads with as little as 2 Tbs. sugar, while cupcakes are made with the batter used to make cake, with a full cup of sugar for a similar quantity. Also, muffins are NOT topped with frosting or icing, whereas cupcakes usually are.
I have tried it and dosent make much of a diffrence!
Caster sugar is called "superfine" sugar in the United States. Do not confuse with confectioner's (powdered) sugar to which cornstarch has been added.
i think its because caster sugar has smaller particles!!:)
Every 50 grams of caster sugar is 200 calories.
Yes. Cake frosting and cupcake frosting are the exact same thing. They are generally made from a butter-cream using butter, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla. There are thousands of frosting recipes and virtually all of them can be used interchangeably for both cakes and cupcakes.
