Cupcake Tips
Batter Mixing
Batters should be mixed for the exact time specified in the recipe. Over mixing can cause batters to bake very densely.

Cupcake Tips
Desired Doneness
Check cupcakes only after they have baked the minimum time recommended in the recipe. Cupcakes, like other baked goods need to be left alone during the initial first phase of baking so the ingredients can bake properly.
