A muffin is any quickbread (mixed by muffin mixing method & does NOT contain yeast) that is in the shape of a cupcake. A cupcake is any cake batter mixed with the straight method or creaming method made into the shape of a cup.
Cupcakes (traditionally) have frosting on top, while muffins have no frosting, but muffins can have a glaze on top. Many people think that the difference is either frosting or no frosting, or that it's "in a paper liner" or not, but that is a common mistake. Either one can be made with or without a paper liner; it's just the baker's preference.
A quickbread (or muffin) CANNOT be baked like a sheet cake or round layered cake because it won't bake properly. The same goes for a cupcake batter - a cake batter (or cupcake) cannot be baked in a loaf or bundt pan because it will not bake properly. But, since both can be baked into a smaller shape, people often think they're the same.
Other (humorous) distinctions between muffins and cupcakes:
- If you threw a cupcake against the wall, you would hear something of a 'poof!' If you threw a muffin, you would hear a 'thud!'
- A muffin does not look good in jeans but cupcakes do!

What is the difference between a teaspoon and a coffee spoon?
Tea spoons are usually used in combination with tea, and coffee spoons are most commonly in coffe cups. This is the actual difference. If you take a tea spoon into a coffe cup, it will "transform" into a coffee spoon, as there is no tea present. Except for when one actually knows the difference and invests in specifically designed flatware sets which include the smaller sized coffee spoons. Many people may consider they drink coffee out of coffee cups because that is what their cup contains, when in many establishments and homes, coffee will be served in tea cups which are generally larger than traditional (and correct) coffee cups for the purpose.
