    - I'll bite (ha ha). what is the difference? -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 09:56 9
      - There's a place in town here that makes "cupcakes" where the "cake" is actually meatloaf and the icing is actually mashed potatoes. I've never had - pmb Oct 20, 10:04 3
        
        we made those at drinking laundry last time. they're as good as the components. like, if your meatloaf is bad... -- nm - amanda jones Oct 20, 10:04
        
        sounds like mini shepherd's pie? -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 10:04 1
        
        doesn't that have veggies and gravy? -- (link) - amanda jones Oct 20, 10:05

        huh. -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 10:01
      - most muffins are on the sweet side. they might occasionally have a glaze or streusel topping, but generally aren't frosted. - kare Oct 20, 09:59 2
        
        is there a difference in the batter? -- nm - loosibery Oct 20, 10:00 1
        
        cupcakes are cake. muffins are ... breakfast cake! - kare Oct 20, 10:02
I wonder if I should watch that. my guess is *no.* -- nm - amanda jones Oct 20, 09:52

- Wow I can't tell you how monumentally disappointing that is to me. -- nm - JenBery Oct 20, 10:37
i don't get the cupcake thing.. most of those big, overdecorated ones aren't very good. - colin Oct 20, 09:50 6
- i know what you're talking about, but they are judged on taste for this show. -- nm - kare Oct 20, 10:03 1
  - (in addition to presentation) -- nm - kare Oct 20, 10:04
- It's odd. It's like people forgot you can just open a can of icing, get a spoon and go to town. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 20, 09:58
- I like cooking shows, but have never gotten into just the desert shows - amoxy Oct 20, 09:51
- right - I don't mind different flavours, but I don't want to eat something that looks like a unicorn pooped it out. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 09:51 1
  - would you eat unicorn poop if it gave you special powers? -- nm - colin Oct 20, 09:52
