How to Test Your Cupcake Baking Done-ness

The easiest mistake to make when baking cupcakes is to overbake them. The cupcakes simply dry out too easily. Most of the cupcakes recipes suggest done-ness when there are still crumbs clinging when tested with a wooden toothpick or wooden skewer. I dont recommend to test cupcake done-ness with metal tester since it will give different results. The metal tester don't really allow crumbs to cling. The brownies cupcakes will show many moist crumbs when they are done - more than most, to take heed.

How to Make Perfect Cupcake

1. Read every recipe through before starting and follow the instruction to the letter. 2. Use the ingredients called for (for instance, do not substitute jumbo eggs for large eggs). 3. Take time to measure accurately with the proper tools. 4. Use time cues and visual cues, when given, for best results. 5. Do not overbake! Most cupcakes are ready when moist crumbs still cling to a wooden toothpick. 6. Most cupcakes taste best when eaten the same day they are baked and decorated. 7. Relax and enjoy the cupcake making process.

If a recipe uses cake flour and you don't have any, use 1 cup all-purpose flour minus 2 tablespoons for each cup of cake flour called for in the recipe. 4. To dress up cupcake batter, try adding flavored chips of your choice such as peanut butter, swirled, raspberry, vanilla or chocolate. 5. If your frosting is soft and fluffy, simply dip the cupcake tops in the frosting ...
