🎂 Choosing the right muffin tin

• Non-stick metal molds : offer even baking and a light crispness on top of your muffins or cupcakes.

• Silicone molds : flexible and non-stick, they facilitate unmolding without adding fat and are very easy to clean.

• Various formats : mini-muffins for petit fours, standard size for snacks, decorated cupcakes for birthday parties or special occasions.

The muffin tin is not just for sweet recipes: it can also be used for savory versions, such as mini quiches or individual cakes, offering great versatility in your kitchen and baking offerings.

💡 Pro tip : use baking cups in your muffin tins for even easier removal and simplified cleaning, while adding an aesthetic touch to your cupcakes or muffins. Once cooled, decorate your muffins with sprinkles or, for even more personalisation, you can use customisable cupcake discs.

A little history of the cupcake

The cupcake is a small cake that comes directly from the United States; it was first mentioned in the 1800s. In French, it translates to "cup and cake," and this name likely comes from the molds used in the past to make them.

Today cupcakes are true little stars of pastry making, and we understand why: they are simple to make, and can take on countless flavors.

The difference between a muffin and a cupcake

Many people confuse muffins with cupcakes. While these two mini cakes look similar, there are several differences. Visually, a cupcake is generally straight with the top aligned with the bottom. A muffin, on the other hand, often has a domed, overflowing top, giving it a pretty mushroom shape. We also more commonly frost cupcakes, unlike muffins, which are very rarely covered in cream. The cupcake is a creative individual cake; we tend to decorate it with sprinkles and color it.

A muffin is a complete meal in itself. Cupcakes and muffins also differ in taste. Cupcakes are almost exclusively sweet, while there are many savory versions of muffins. Muffins are considered a quick and easy bread. The dry ingredients are prepared separately from the wet ingredients. Cupcakes, on the other hand, are lighter and airier. They are based on classic cake batter.
