Many people had questions about cupcake molds. I received questions in the comments and by email, so this post is to help those who haven’t yet ventured into the world of mini-cakes.
What is a cupcake?
It is a small, individual cake, baked in a paper mold and decorated with icing and sprinkles. In American recipes, they are usually covered with a buttercream or royal icing.
How is it done?
Take the cake recipe you like the most and bake it in your own pans, then use your imagination with the topping, filling and decoration.
How to handle them?
If you don’t have your own mold, you can use a pie pan (the larger size), but don’t forget to grease and flour it.
There is a non-stick pan of its own, which is this:
There are also paper cups suitable for cupcakes that are sold in party supply stores, supermarkets or specialized stores. A lot of people asked if they can go in the oven. YESMM! You can, but they are designed for this purpose, if you put a paper mold like that for sweets it will burn. These are suitable for the oven:
You can place the dough directly in the paper pan and bake it just like that (I place the pans on a pizza pan and put them in the oven), in this case it’s a good idea to use 2 paper pans for each cupcake to make it firmer. . The best way is to place the paper pan inside the non-stick pan, as in the photo:
I hope I have answered all your questions, but if I forgot anything, just ask.
