"Cupcakes are muffins that believed in miracles” is a cupcake saying that has been printed on many images . The saying was posted on Twitter on December 13, 2010, but became popular in late 2012.
“Once you lick frosting off a cupcake, it becomes a muffin” is another saying about cupcakes and muffins.
