What Is The Secret To Moist Cupcakes?
If you’ve ever had cupcakes come out dry and unappealing, you might be hesitant to try again. Don’t fret. The key to moist, fluffy cupcakes is really quite easy: Don’t over-mix your batter. Yep, that’s it. See, when you mix the batter, you create air pockets that expand in the oven, resulting in the perfect cupcake texture. Therefore, always mix on a low speed just until the ingredients are combined.
How To Decorate Christmas Cupcakes
Once you have your perfectly baked cupcakes, now comes the fun part—decorating! Just like Christmas cookies, holiday cupcakes can be as simple or as intricate as you want.
- The Christmas Light Cupcakes in this collection use chocolate candies and are perfect for little hands.
- The Snow Globe Cupcakes are something a little more complicated, but sure to be a showstopper centerpiece.
- The Christmas Swirl Cupcakes simply use red, green and white for an eye-catching color palate.
- The Christmas tree cupcakes have green frosting piped over an upside-down ice cream cone, and then decorated like a real tree!
Let your imagination run wild when it comes to decorating and always remember, the most important thing is to have fun with it.
