Putting your freshly baked cupecakes into some nice wrappers certainly finishes them off. However to make them extra special there is nothing like making your very own cupcake wrappers. These can be personalised to the individual and the event, plus they are so easy to make. I share my free templates over at http://bestcupcakewrappers.com.

I wanted to ask a question about the paper cups, are they easy to open? I didn’t know how hard it would be to tear them off. I was just wondering and wanted to know before I buy them.

Thank you so much!!

Hey, I’m fairly new to baking, but my wonderful boyfriend just bought be a stand mixer for my birthday, and when I asked him for his first request it was…CUPCAKES. Lemon Poppyseed cupcakes to be exact. Any chance you have a recipe you might be willing to share? Also, and perhaps more importantly, he’s asked for a “light vanilla frosting”. He hates cream cheese frosting (I’m not sure what’s wrong with him), so I wondered if you might have suggestions for what might work best with a lemon poppyseed cake. I’d REALLY appreciate it!

Hi Shannon! Are they sinking in the middle? or just flat? Ironically I love flat cupcakes b/c it makes decorating them easier IMO but if your cupcakes are sinking in the middle you might be underbaking them. Make sure you allow your cupcakes to bake uninterrupted for at least 15 minutes. During this time the baking is giving them the structure they need and disrupting them earlier could can cause them to rise and fall too fast. If you are a looking for the "dome" maybe increasing the oven temperature (375-400F) will help create the "steam" environment to induce rising. Obviously if you are increasing the oven temperature you'll have to adjust your baking time accordingly. I'm tempted to tell you to increase the baking powder in the recipe too since it really helped to make these cupcakes (here) dome but you always wanna be careful when you play with ingredient ratios in a cupcake recipe. HTH!

I am having problems with my cupcakes being flat or not fully “round out of the liner” (check out some pics on my blog).. I tried mixing the egg with the sugar first but still didn’t get the full “round” top.. What is the best tool to use to fill the liners the right amount?? I always seem to over fill or underfill..Help???

Oh thank you! I tried using a Wilton 230 tip and for some reason my filling would leak AROUND the tip and not thru the hole :( So it was frustrating and my filling was pretty solid so I dont know what I did wrong! But I shakk try this method! Thanks again!

Thanks for sweet compliments! To "cone" a cupcake is to create a hold in the middle of the cupcake so you can add a filling to it. There is a great picture tutorial from Nicole of Baking Bites (here). Hope that helps!
