Baking powder lightens the texture of cakes by enlarging air bubbles within the batter. The correct use of baking powder makes the difference between a light and fluffy cake.Baking powder has different, beneficial properties for cake baking that other types of leavening agents don't have. Yeast produces the same rising action, but takes two to three hours to produce bubbles. Baking powder reacts with water, whereas baking soda requires the use of a liquid acid such as buttermilk or yogurt to instigate leavening.

You can get decent, mid-quality baking pans from just about any store (Wilton or Baker's Secret). It is not necessary to invest a small fortune in muffin tins.

I got my baking trays from Tesco - they work just fine.

What are the chemical and physical changes in baking muffins?
One example of a chemical reaction that occurs when baking muffins is the raising agent: the baking soda (whether that in the baking powder or added separately) reacts with any acid in the ingredients (milk, cream of tartar etc) to form a gas and a salt, and the gas bubbles formed result in the rising of the muffins.
