Cupcakes vs Cakes

If you take a regular old cupcake and make it bigger and bigger, does it's status of a "cupcake" stay no matter how big it is or does it ever reach a point where it becomes a cake instead of a cupcake, and if so, at what point does it become a cake?

Re: Cupcakes vs Cakes

i think the cup in cupcake implies that it is small. A bigger cupcake is indeed a cake

Simple logic good sir!
If it is wrapped in a paper/cardboard cup (Yea.. cardboard. *mind blown*), even though how big it is, it is a cupcake. If you have a cake that's as big as my fist , but no cup... well sir... ITS A CAKE.
No size matters. Its the cup.
Thanks for your time. (I have no idea if this is true please don't sue me.)

Re: Cupcakes vs Cakes

What about muffins? They ruin both of your theories.

Muffins is a different species silly. But they are related by some DNA! (YEA. DNA. *brain explosion*)
That goes into a whole other type of cooking technology.

When I saw the title, I thought this was asking which one was better.

Don't worry I got your back

Well, this widley known debate has been discussed by scientists for centuries. The data analysis has draw to the conclusions that in order for a cupcake to be classified as a cupcake, it is required to have a muffin top with frosting on the muffin top, but no where else. On a cake, there can be frosting on the side, and there is a lack of muffin top. So therefore a cake cannot be classified as a cupcake, no matter the size. Also, cakes require more moisture because they require to be baked for a longer amount of time. The differences between cupcakes and cakes is actual an infinite subject at hand, and this is just a few of the very differences, between the two variables.

Well. Development can change ones "label"; as of when us humans grow we are known as a "baby" "toddler" "child" ect. Cakes have the exact same labeling system. "cupcake" and "cake"..
