Your cupcakes won’t taste delicious or look adorable if you don’t frost them properly, but you can always try to improve your frosting technique—and these three useful tips will get you there.

Patience, Patience

You shouldn’t rush things when frosting your cupcakes and it’s a good idea to start testing your patience as soon as you get them out of the oven. Let them cool down for a while before frosting them so the buttercream wouldn’t melt.

Timeless Classic

Experimenting with cupcake toppings and frosting is all fun and games when you have experience, but it can be difficult in the beginning. That’s why you should stick to the basics, and buttercream happens to be the timeless classic that you can’t go wrong with when it comes to frosting.

Piping Bonanza

Using a piping bag is the easiest and most popular way to decorate your cupcakes. After filling the bag with buttercream frosting, you’ll pipe the cupcakes in a continuous circle with a technique of your choice. Most piping bags come with several frosting tips and you’ll have a lot of fun experimenting before you find your favorite.

]]> Have you ever been in the middle of mixing up some cake batter, and then looked up and noticed your muffin tin? Whether you’re making banana bread or chocolate cake, sometimes it’s hard to decide whether to make individual muffins are a whole cake. Here are some things to consider when making that decision.

Time Constraints

How much time do you have? Since muffins are smaller, they will bake faster. That also means it’s easier to burn them. If you’re running low on time, you might want to opt for muffins. If you want to be able to stick the cake in the oven and go do another taste, cake is your better bet.

Texture

One of the most important things to consider when baking is texture—moistness, crumb, and crust. With muffins, because they are smaller, it’s harder to preserve the moist crumb that the larger surface area allows for toward the middle of a cake. This becomes more true the more advanced the type of cake–a more delicate texture will be easier to create in a full cake than in smaller muffins.

Portions

If you’re baking for a crowd, and you’re worried people won’t get equal shares, muffins are a great solution. They’re also more sanitary since they’re separate, and you won’t need to go through the process of cutting and plating which can be messy and difficult.

]]> Cupcakes: since we started eating them as children at birthday parties and school celebrations, we’ve all known them and loved them. After all, what better way is there to consume cake than in a neat little package all wrapped up like a gift just for you?

While cupcakes aren’t the most challenging pastry to conquer, they can still have their downfalls, overflowing from their cups or ending up with messy frosting. So if you want to make a truly impressive batch of cupcakes for a party or just for fun, here are some tips that will make your cupcakes turn out looking professional.

Use the Right Amount of Batter in Each Cup

This is really the main step that can make or break your cupcakes. If you do it wrong, you can end up with sunken cupcakes, mushroom tops, or an overflowing mess. A good rule of thumb is to fill your cupcake liners up about two-thirds of the way.

Allow the Cakes to Cool Completely

Even if you’re in a rush, you must let your cupcakes cool all the way before frosting them, otherwise, the frosting will melt and it will all end up a mess not even worth taking a photo of. If you’re in a pinch, putting the cupcakes in the freezer for 20 minutes is better than nothing.

]]> Can you believe that the beginning of the decade of the 2000s was twenty years ago? While it might seem that less time has passed since then, we sure have lived a lot of different trends and events since that decade.

Do you remember which food trends influenced this decade’s culinary landscape? Here are three that you might need to be reminded of.

Sliders

Sliders were once quite possibly the most popular “trending” option on restaurant menus everywhere. These mini sandwiches were often served in groups of 3 or 4, with options from hamburgers to buffalo chicken sandwiches being served up to hungry diners throughout the planet.

Atkins Diet

While the keto diet is now normalizing low-carb, high-protein eating patterns, that distinction once belonged to the popular Atkins Diet. Keto diets don’t let you eat virtually any carbohydrates, but at least you could sneak a little bit in on the now old-fashioned Atkins plan.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes have been popular for a long time, and continue to be popular, but things really took off in the 2000s. Mini cupcakes, gourmet cupcakes, and any type of these sweet, frosting-topped pastries were able to be found anywhere during this decade.

Don’t Overmix

Always follow the instructions of the recipe and remember not to overmix. If you overmix the batter your cupcakes will be tougher. If you undermix, on the other hand, your cupcakes will crumble and won’t grow as much as they should.

Fresh Ingredients

Fresh ingredients are key for perfect cupcakes. Right before you start baking, check the dates on the packages. The chances are, you’ve had some things stored for a while and their expiration date is long gone. Replace these ingredients with new ones and you’re ready to go.

Always Measure the Ingredients

Recipes exist for a reason, which means you should always follow the measurements given. If you want the perfect cupcakes, this means you also need the perfect proportions. The same thing applies when you measure the portions at the end before baking the cupcakes.

Follow the Temperature

There are ingredients that should be used at room temperature, so don’t forget to do exactly that. Even if your butter was in the fridge, wait for it to reach room temperature, then start baking.

]]> Have you ever been in the middle of mixing up some cake batter, and then looked up and noticed your muffin tin? Whether you’re making banana bread or chocolate cake, sometimes it’s hard to decide whether to make individual muffins are a whole cake. Here are some things to consider when making that decision.

Time Constraints

How much time do you have? Since muffins are smaller, they will bake faster. That also means it’s easier to burn them. If you’re running low on time, you might want to opt for muffins. If you want to be able to stick the cake in the oven and go do another taste, cake is your better bet.

Texture

One of the most important things to consider when baking is texture—moistness, crumb, and crust. With muffins, because they are smaller, it’s harder to preserve the moist crumb that the larger surface area allows for toward the middle of a cake. This becomes more true the more advanced the type of cake–a more delicate texture will be easier to create in a full cake than in smaller muffins.

Portions

If you’re baking for a crowd, and you’re worried people won’t get equal shares, muffins are a great solution. They’re also more sanitary since they’re separate, and you won’t need to go through the process of cutting and plating which can be messy and difficult.

]]> Cupcakes: since we started eating them as children at birthday parties and school celebrations, we’ve all known them and loved them. After all, what better way is there to consume cake than in a neat little package all wrapped up like a gift just for you?

While cupcakes aren’t the most challenging pastry to conquer, they can still have their downfalls, overflowing from their cups or ending up with messy frosting. So if you want to make a truly impressive batch of cupcakes for a party or just for fun, here are some tips that will make your cupcakes turn out looking professional.

Use the Right Amount of Batter in Each Cup

This is really the main step that can make or break your cupcakes. If you do it wrong, you can end up with sunken cupcakes, mushroom tops, or an overflowing mess. A good rule of thumb is to fill your cupcake liners up about two-thirds of the way.

Allow the Cakes to Cool Completely

Even if you’re in a rush, you must let your cupcakes cool all the way before frosting them, otherwise, the frosting will melt and it will all end up a mess not even worth taking a photo of. If you’re in a pinch, putting the cupcakes in the freezer for 20 minutes is better than nothing.

]]> Can you believe that the beginning of the decade of the 2000s was twenty years ago? While it might seem that less time has passed since then, we sure have lived a lot of different trends and events since that decade.

Do you remember which food trends influenced this decade’s culinary landscape? Here are three that you might need to be reminded of.

Sliders

Sliders were once quite possibly the most popular “trending” option on restaurant menus everywhere. These mini sandwiches were often served in groups of 3 or 4, with options from hamburgers to buffalo chicken sandwiches being served up to hungry diners throughout the planet.

Atkins Diet

While the keto diet is now normalizing low-carb, high-protein eating patterns, that distinction once belonged to the popular Atkins Diet. Keto diets don’t let you eat virtually any carbohydrates, but at least you could sneak a little bit in on the now old-fashioned Atkins plan.

Cupcakes

Cupcakes have been popular for a long time, and continue to be popular, but things really took off in the 2000s. Mini cupcakes, gourmet cupcakes, and any type of these sweet, frosting-topped pastries were able to be found anywhere during this decade.

Don’t Overmix

Always follow the instructions of the recipe and remember not to overmix. If you overmix the batter your cupcakes will be tougher. If you undermix, on the other hand, your cupcakes will crumble and won’t grow as much as they should.

Fresh Ingredients

Fresh ingredients are key for perfect cupcakes. Right before you start baking, check the dates on the packages. The chances are, you’ve had some things stored for a while and their expiration date is long gone. Replace these ingredients with new ones and you’re ready to go.

Always Measure the Ingredients

Recipes exist for a reason, which means you should always follow the measurements given. If you want the perfect cupcakes, this means you also need the perfect proportions. The same thing applies when you measure the portions at the end before baking the cupcakes.

Follow the Temperature

There are ingredients that should be used at room temperature, so don’t forget to do exactly that. Even if your butter was in the fridge, wait for it to reach room temperature, then start baking.
