-to bakin tips

Many of the recipes in this book use an electric mixer to mix ingredients together. Hand mixers are convenient and easy to use, but you could use a stand mixer as well. Be sure to turn off the mixer in between adding ingredients, and scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula occasionally, to keep the mess to a minimum.

Buer should be at room temperature for most of the recipes in this book, since it is easier to work with in its soened state. Eggs will mix into a baer more evenly if they are at room temperature, but it’s not critical for the recipe to work properly.

Some ingredients need to be folded into the baer instead of beaten with a mixer. When combining two mixtures of different consistencies, folding helps blend them without deflating the baer. Use a rubber spatula for this task.

When you think the cupcakes are done, stick a clean toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are ready. If it comes out with baer on it, they need more baking time.

Be sure to wait for your cupcakes to cool completely before you frost them, or the frosting might melt and drip off of them.
