If you're looking to buy a basic cupcake pan or muffin pan, you should know that they are considered the same thing. They usually have 12 cups and the typical cup size is 2.75 inches wide and 1.25 inches high. Many have non-stick surfaces in the cups so the cupcakes or muffins slide out easily. But the really good ones have a non-stick surface between the cups so that the whole pan cleans easily. Because of the non-stick surfaces you should be careful to use the proper utensils - generally wood or plastic.

In addition to a basic cupcake pan or muffin pan, cupcake pans have emerged with special designs. I've included a daisy cupcake pan that you can use to make an adorable bouquet of daisies. There's a giant cupcake pan, that will feed 12. Pull-apart cupcakes have become the rage and I've included several including the ever popular butterfly as well as train, turtle and more.

Amazon and Ebay are two of the most trusted online merchants. I'm sure you'll find the right cupcake pan or muffin pan for you and your baking needs. Thank you for visiting this site, Nelle.
