Title: Taxonomy of food (pastries if you will)
Post by: ZealKnight on September 30, 2010, 11:36:56 pm

Me and my friend are arguing over whether a cake is the same as a cupcake or something different. In other words, if we were to create a taxonomy for food wouldn't cupcake be a subspecies if cake?

Yes, cupcakes are a "subspecies" of cake. They have the same structure, contents, and cooking method. A cupcake is essentially a small cake with exterior stylization.

I thought I was gunna have a cake on my birthday, but my friend made me and my guests a bunch of cupcakes instead. They were handier because you could just eat them separately and didn't have to cut them : ). Now I have a craving for one of those expensive fancy cupcake shops. *drools*
