For young and old alike, they are the right size and are fun, festive and easy. BAKING TIPS: • Use your favorite recipes and mixes—or the recipes in this booklet. • The cupcake maker does not have to be preheated for cupcakes—just spoon the batter into the cups and bake. However, it works just as well to spoon the batter into a hot cupcake maker. This makes it easy to do several batches of cupcakes or muffins in succession. (Use caution as cupcake maker is hot.) • Always begin with a cold cupcake maker when baking pies, quiches and other recipes that require shaping or pressing pie crust or pastry into the cups. • Most cupcakes bake in 5 to 8 minutes. To determine if cupcakes are done, insert a toothpick into the center of the cupcake; if it comes out clean the cupcakes are done. • Cupcakes or muffins are very fragile and hot when just baked.C arefully remove them from the cupcake maker and place on a wire rack. Use caution as the cupcakes and steam are very hot. Allow the cupcakes or muffins to stand about 5 minutes before serving—even if you wish to serve warm muffins. • Use mini paper bake cups if desired when baking cupcakes and muffins.T hey make removing and serving cupcakes and muffins easy.P aper bake cups 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.
