Cupcake Tips

Filling Cupcake Cups With Batter

To bake traditional size cupcakes, fill the individual cupcake cups 2/3’s of the way up with cupcake batter. Fill cups ¾ of the way if you want the cupcakes to overflow the cups and expand outward.

Cupcake Tips

Adding Mix-in Ingredients

Fill cupcake cups half of the way up if you plan to add nuts, chocolate or other mix-ins, so the cupcakes don’t overflow too far when baked.
