Muffins are a lot bigger than cupcakes and on cupcakes the icing seems to be hard and smooth! :)

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.
The main difference between a muffin and a cupcake is that muffins are typically less sweet and denser, while cupcakes are sweeter and lighter, often topped with frosting.

Yes it is
a muffin a small cake
It really depends on the serving size. A cupcake will definitely have more calories gram for gram versus a muffin due to the large amounts of sugar and butter in it (along with icing), but if you're eating something like a chocolate chip muffin which is typically much larger than a cupcake, you could be looking at 500 calories or more for a muffin versus 400 for a cupcake.
An American Style muffin is in a form of a cupcake but its a muffin. When you make them you have to mold them. Bridget Murphy loves Muffins

The main difference between a cupcake and a muffin is that cupcakes are typically sweeter, lighter, and more cake-like, while muffins are usually denser, less sweet, and more bread-like. Additionally, cupcakes are often topped with frosting or decorations, while muffins are usually plain or have a simple topping like streusel.
A cupcake usually hase icing on it because it's a minuture cake CUP-CAKE. if it doesn't, it would be a muffin.
you could but it would probably work best with a muffin pan.
