What are cupcakes?
A small cake designed to serve one person, which may be baked in a small thin paper or aluminum cup.
Originally, cupcakes were baked in heavy pottery cups. Some bakers still use individual ramekins, small coffee mugs, large tea cups, or other small ovenproof pottery-type dishes for baking cupcakes. Usually baked in muffin tins. These pans are most often made from metal, with or without a non-stick surface, and generally have six or twelve depressions or “cups”. A standard size cup is 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter. Specialty pans may offer many different sizes and shapes.
