	Muffins? or Crumpets? or Pikelets? or.......... It seems to depend on which bit of the UK you are in. The following link makes interesting reading. http://imaginatorium.org/words/muffin.htm

	Oh my goodness. Fairy cakes to cupcakes, cup cake kits and butterfly cake kits. A friend of mine told me she had bought a cup cake maker, I just didn't have the interest to ask what it was. I mean, whoever can't mix some butter, sugar, eggs and flour together. And now I read about baking sheets becoming cookie sheets. Well I guess it must have happened around the same time as blenders became smoothie makers!!! Why do we have to be so American? :-0 :-0

	Hi Errol I think cupcakes are a world wide thing now ....... ...... but these recent horrible gigantic ones, and the trend to develop ever more of them, originated in the US My mum used to make fairy cakes .......... in Lancashire. I used to try to make them ............... but I'm not a very good baker. My strengths lie elsewhere ;-)

	SylviaInCanada - when I googled "cupcakes" I found out a lot of interesting information. I wonder whether cupcakes are a geographical thing. Are they, for example, popular in Wales? My nana used to make horrible cupcakes.

	I shall look at edible cupcakes with a very different eye from now on!!! My eyes have been opened wide by looking for the meaning of cupcakes :-0 :-0 :-0 don't think I will ever wish in future that I could even try one Makes one wonder how words are used and adapted to other meanings!
