Tips

Use your favorite recipes and mixes, or the recipes in the book of recipes.
- Most cup-cakes bake in 5 to 8 minutes. To determine if cup-cakes are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake; if it comes out clean, the cup-cakes are done.
- Cup-cakes or muffins are very fragile and hot when just baked. Carefully remove them from the cupcake maker and place on a wire rack. Use caution as the cup-cakes and steam are very hot. Allow the cup-cakes or muffins to stand about 5 minutes before serving, even if you wish to serve warm muffins.
- Use paper cake cases if desired when baking cup-cakes and muffins. They make removing and serving easy. Paper cake cases are required for brownies and cheesecake as the baked brownies or cheesecakes are so hot and delicate and must cool some before they are firm enough to hold their shape. Do not use paper bake cups for pies and tartlets.
- You can decorate the cup-cakes with for example: frosting, marzipan, fondant, icing, chocolate, chocolate vermicelli, sugar pearls, dusting sugar etc.

Bon appetit!
