How does one measure muffins?

First you must admire the cupcake, noting its beauty from all angles. Feel free to take the cupcake carefully outside to examine its radiance in pure daylight. Make sure the cupcake is not subjected to drafts or left in the sun. Using any clean pastry ruler, you may now measure the cupcake, taking care not to dislodge any sprinkles or decor in the top. Next, you may wish to weigh the cupcake. Its also a good idea to sensitively smell the cupcake and record the layers of odor--One may notice cake, frosting, the paper baking cup, and the smell of the oven it was baked in. Also note any feelings or emotions the cupcake may evoke.

Using calipers, you can take further measurements. Check carefully to be certain the cupcake is safe from marauders during this delicate stage of testing. Tips: proper frosting or icing coverage is a hallmark of superior cupcake production. The addition of airbrushed color is a marketing ploy used at large cupcake emporiums to stimulate consumer interest. The final measurement of a true cupcake is the delight factor. If a cupcake inspires keen longing and satisfaction, then its life cycle is complete, it is an outstanding cupcake. Bravo Cupcake! Viva Cupcake!

Why did your muffins stick to the paper cases?

Because the batter is wet and the muffin cups are paper and porous. That's pretty much why anything sticks to anything. The smoother the surface, the less sticking.

I find that the heat also causes the muffins to stick both to the pan and to the muffin papers. If you let the muffins cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan and cool completely before removing them from the paper liners, they don't stick.

If I reheat a muffin in the microwave, I remove the paper liner first and then heat it. If I heat it and then remove the liner, a lot of the yummy muffin sticks to the paper liner.

I have heard some people say they spray nonstick cooking spray on their paper liners to keep the muffins from sticking to it, but I haven't tried that yet. I'm sure it would work.
