While whipping up these cupcakes, I learned a couple of tips such as how much batter to pour into the baking cups and how to bake up cupcakes that are nice and rounded at the top.
- Use not 1 but 3 baking paper cups in your cupcake pan per cupcake. The extra cups will help support the cupcake as it bakes, causing it to puff a bit higher and creating a nice rounded top.
- Fill baking cups so the batter line is 1/2-inch down from the top rim. I don't know about you, but I have trouble telling when a baking cup is 2/3 full as is the wording in many directions.
- Allow cupcakes to cool completely before decorating and make sure the kitchen has cooled off as well.
