24 Delicious Cupcake Recipes
Baking cupcakes themselves isn’t as challenging as the decorating. But frosting is forgiving and, in most cases, if you mess up you can just scrape it off and try again. As with any skill, having the right tools is a must. Here are a few tips to help you make sure your cupcake recipes turn out great every time!
- Extra Pans – Everyone probably has at least one cupcake pan hidden in the cupboards. Having two on hand makes it easier to make bigger batches of cupcakes or even more than one flavor at a time. Good quality cupcake pans are also a must.
- Cooling Racks – One of the biggest mistakes people make is adding the frosting before the cupcakes have cooled. Placing cupcakes on a cooling rack will help speed up that process.
- Easy Decorating – You can stuff the frosting into a zip top bag and snip off a corner if you like. This will work in a pinch, but the best way to get beautifully frosted tops is to invest in a cake decorating kit that contains piping bags and tips.
