Here are a few tried-and-trusted tips which will help you make perfect cupcakes, every time:
- Be prepared! Measure everything and let the vital ingredients sit out from the fridge to come to room temperature;
- Know your recipe! Read it, study it and work through the steps in your head before you start;
- Know your oven! Check the temperature, use a thermometer if necessary but find out if any hot or cold spots exist. If you have a fan oven remember to reduce the temperature slightly; and
- Do not disturb! Under no circumstances open the oven door, not even to peek. If you really have to, then leave it to the last 2 minutes of baking.
Happy baking!
