The presence of butter does not preclude the addition of more butter.

[look out! Ninjas!]

Hot muffins should be buttered. Like toast. Muffins defrosted in a lunch box not so much.

[jhocking]

I'd butter your muffin.

Do you use lines like that on ben?

[Papersatan]

I guess muffins have always stood on the donut side of the breakfast menu for me, that is a way to sneak dessert in before noon.  Maybe I should try one with butter?  I bet it is good, but I think I would feel guilty doing it.

[Lines]

I like warm muffins with fruit buttered, but I don't butter any with chocolate. I also don't like banana muffins buttered. And pumpkin muffins go better with cream. *drool*

[Boro_Bandito]

See, banana and blueberry muffins are the ones that I butter, most others I just eat the way they are. I don't think I've ever had a pumpkin muffin but cream sounds really weird as a muffin condiment.

[Slick]

Try whipped cream, I reckon.

[bainidhe_dub]

I didn't make muffins, I made scones!

[Lines]

Basically a warm pumpkin muffin with whipped cream tastes like pie. (I forgot to put whipped in front of cream.) 

[SirJuggles]

See when I was little, I always saw muffins as the boring adult version of cupcakes, minus all the sugary deliciousness. The same way that bagels are the boring responsible versions of donuts.

[Elizzybeth]

My mother claims that the first time I saw a donut, I said, "Look, Mom, a chocolate bagel!"  (I still prefer bagels over donuts and muffins over cupcakes.)

[KvP]

Whenever I see this thread I conjure up the Wu's "Bring Da Ruckus" with the chorus replaced by the thread title.

[BrittanyMarie]

aaaaaaaaaaaand now i have the hugest craving for a cashew chicken salad bagel sandwich with pesto at our local bagel place (it is the best). but it's okay, we're going to cajun cafe for lunch and i'mma eat some sweet potato pancakes maybe. last time i had boudin balls and crawfish etouffee nom nom

[Zingoleb]

Just made some corn muffins.

Slathered in butter.

Aw yeah.

Man why would you like cupcakes over muffins. There's so much more variety with muffins.

[Alex C]

Easily. I disliked the vast majority of muffin varieties I've tried.

[David_Dovey]

Bagels are pretty much the king of foods though

[Alex C]

I like to think of bagels as being part of a food pantheon in which there is many members but no hierarchy. All that matters is that everything there is certifiably delicious. For example, if you asked me whether a really good bagel or a really good croissant was better I'd just wonder why the hell you'd ever want to make a choice like that.

[Jimmy the Squid]

I would probably be asking that question in the context of which one should I eat first?

INCORRECT















i mean muffins are great and all but if it doesn't end up being a cupcakery that kills me in the end i will truly be surprised

Frosting ist krieg.

You need more Cupcake Wars in your life.

I enjoy both, but I have more fun making cupcakes. Mostly because of the icing... Icing is fun.

[jhocking]

I hate icing.

[smack that isaiah]

Yeah, icing gives me headaches.  It's muffins for me all the way.  And, if I had more free time I'd try to bake some Mothafuckin' Muffins, but I do not have free time.  All the free time I get (i.e. now) I get by missing sleep.

[Lines]

Well, all of the icings I've been making start with cream cheese and go from there, because, well, I love cream cheese. (I can understand though, because most icings are far too sweet.) But that's ok, there's cheese muffins and those are my favorite.

[JD]

I hate icing.

[calenlass]

I love buttercream and cream cheese frostings because they are delicious and not obnoxiously sweet. One of my favourites leftover from me childhood is Duncan Hines' chocolate storebought stuff, but it is way sweet and also has corn syrup in it, so I don't really eat it anymore.

[tania]

whipping cream is also a nice base for a light frosting that isn't too sweet and heavy, unless you load it with sugar or something. sometimes it pipes a little funny but i tend to prefer the light texture of whipped cream and cream cheese frostings over really heavy buttery ones. icing is real fun to experiment with because for the most part there isn't really a real formula, you can just kind of mix things up however you want until you wind up with a taste and texture you like. personally i don't really use a recipe anymore, i just kind of go for it. with ingredients like sugar and butter and whipping cream and cream cheese it's pretty hard to mess up.

[Slick]

Icing is such a good concept. Let's combine dairy-fat and sugar and put it on things. Perfect. Fairly forgiving and robust.

[Lunchbox]

I made some frosting yesterday out of butter, cream cheese, peanut butter and icing sugar.
It is THE BEST. It tastes just like slightly sweetened peanut butter but without the annoying stick-to-your-mouth part.

Pictures!

Get ur stuff:


Make cupcakes. Take a series of out-of-focus pictures because you're so hungry.

Make frosting.


Oh god so delicious.


Peel some chocolate to make curls.


Put it all together.


Aww yeah.

[calenlass]

I will have to try that. Did Lunchy possibly make American peanut butter better? ???

[Alex C]

I love buttercream and cream cheese frostings because they are delicious and not obnoxiously sweet.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of sweets in general, but a nice spice cake with a measured dose of cream cheese frosting is wonderful.

Green & Black's is such good chocolate, Lunchy, seriously.

[Neskah]

They're all good as long as they have edible ball bearings =D Muffin/Cupcake must

[Lunchbox]

Edible ball bearings are best on gingerbread men. Too much crunch for a cupcake.

[Inlander]

Green & Black's is such good chocolate, Lunchy, seriously.

Is it still as good now that it's been bought by Kraft? Or has Kraft fucked it up like they fuck up everything else they touch?

[Lunchbox]

I know I am, strange spambot! Thanks!

Oh man hey thread what is happening we should get together, catch up, make some muffins, you know.

[allison]

Jonathan made me cupcakes tonight! Confetti cupcakes. With chocolate frosting. I got to put the sprinkles on.

[Cernunnos]

the rest of y'all are outta luck

[Lines]

I can make my own goddamn cupcakes. With sprinkles too!

Basically what I'm saying is I think we should have a cupcake war.

[allison]

Everyone wins Cupcake War!

[Lines]

Exactly. You get to eat cupcakes.

WINNING.

[Lunchbox]

At my birthday Jimmy ate too many cupcakes and got sick. What do you call that?

[scarred]

Winning.

[scarred]

Better.

[Jimmy the Squid]

I regret nothing.
