I need helping with my baking skills. I promised DD1 yesterday I would make her cupcakes. She was excited and wanted to help. I just finished baking it and it didn't come out right. I am so embarrassed. I have never baked cupcakes before or anything for that matter. So does anyone know how to make great cupcakes; that look great and taste fanastic?
Someone help. Share your cupcake ideas. I was hoping for something like this: Butterfly Cakes Recipe - Cakes & Baking Recipes This looks so delicious. I couldn't do that because I don't have a electric mixer.
Girl-23 - baking can be a tricky thing, I find my skills vary depending on the type of oven I'm cooking in, While cupcakes are generally a pretty easy thing to make, I tend to cheat if I know I need them to work first time - I use packet mix...! I find the Greens mixes to be really good, and I've only messed up one batch out of about 30 made. Not sure if going to the shops to get a mix is an option?
Whenever I grocery shop, I keep an eye out for packs on special, and when they are, I stock up so I've got back up supplies in my pantry.
Now if only I didn't have blasted gestational diabetes, I'd be out in the kitchen making a batch to eat right now!!!
When making cupcakes there are a few things you need to remember for the perfect cupcake....
Beat sugar and butter together well untill light and fluffy. Slowly incorporate the eggs, one at a time. Then when adding the milk (I normally add the vanilla to the milk), flour add them in thirds ie. a third of flour and milk, mix till combined, add another 1/3 flour and milk, mix gently till combined etc. Be carefully not to over beat or this will toughen the cupcakes.
Cupcakes.
