The difference between a cup cake and a muffin is that the cup cake is usually larger, with some frosting on top and decorated beautifully. Cup cakes are ideal to serve during the Advent, it’s a good dessert and great for the tee party. You can serve coffee and tea, champagne and prosecco, and the sweet bite is more that perfect.
