All About Cupcakes! (recipes and tips)

[babyface82]

Ehhh, gusto ko matuto magbake ng cupcakes kaso wala naman kaming oven na malaki and ideal for baking talaga.

If you dont have an oven...maybe you can try looking for convection ovens....na halos sinlaki lang ng microwave....its way cheaper than regular ovens...its a good start if you want to start learning how to bake and cook na rin...plus it only needs a small space on your counter top....my cousins american home convection oven is still good...sandali lang kasi sila dito kaya iyon na lang binili niya

----
Usually the main culprit in a tough cupcake is either OVERMIXING or a dry dough (due to so much flour or kulang sa moisture ang batter)

i tried baking chocolate cupcake (cake mix na siya, yung nasa box). i just added evap milk, oil and eggs. I used muffin pans and baked in our small oven at 160C for 25 minutes. The result was perfect! Na-excite tuloy ako mag-bake ulit.

^ wow. ma try nga yan! parang effortless muffins lang hehe. wala pa kasi akong nakita na muffin mix sa stores eh

nakakita ako kahapon ng Cupcake maker. cute din, comes in light blue & pink. 6cups nga lang siya. meron din Mini Cupcake maker. 

pwede siguro yan kung dadalin mo sa party or any event, at dun ka na gumawa ng cupcakes. haha! konting bitbit nalang ng ibang gamit for ingredients and baking utensils.

sis khayzee for cream cheese frosting i use martha stewart's recipe, and i use cooked buttercream frosting for my vanilla cupcakes. merong frosting/icing thread dito sis, search mo na lang.

mag-one year na ang imarflex 3-in-1 convection oven ko and i can say that i am really satisfied with my oven! i was able to bake cupcakes, muffins, cakes, banana breads, mamon, enseymada, cookies, brownies and most recently baked mac & cheese! sobrang sulit ang mini oven ko, hehe. but i think i have to buy a bigger oven na, very limited lang kasi yung inaaccept kong orders kasi nga kakapagod mag-bake lalo na kung madamihan dahil madami ring salangan.

Hi sisses! I made some cupcakes for my friend's bridal shower. The theme was Naughty or Nice so I made one naughty cupcake (Devil's food cupcake with cream filling and chocolate ganache frosting) and a nice one (whole wheat carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting).

Used this recipe for the naughty one: http://www.thewednesdaychef.com/the_wednesday_chef/2011/04/karen-demascos-devils-food-cupcakes.html

What I did though is I poked the top of the cupcake instead of the bottom to put the cream filling. The ganache covered the hole anyway.

For the nice: http://www.lynnskitchenadventures.com/2009/03/bobs-red-mill-whole-wheat-carrot-cake.html

Changes I made:
- used 1 cup washed sugar instead because that's all I had
- used coconut oil, again because that's what I had
- no walnuts and pineapple but I increased the carrots to about 3- 3 1/2 cups
- I blended everything

For the cream cheese frosting I used
1 package Philadelphia cream cheese
1/2 cup unsalted butter
2 tsp vanilla extract (I suggest lowering the amount)
1 - 1/2 cup icing sugar

I would post pictures but I don't know how.

Nagbake kami ng sis ko ng vanilla cupcakes, first time namin pareho. kaya epic fail! under baked siya
tapos di masarap yung lasa. paano ba naman, minix ng sis ko ng sobra sobra. Kaya yung pangalawang bake
ako na lang magisa. ginawa ko yung chocolate cupcake recipe ng isa sa mga sis natin dito. And the outcome was
good. masarap and not too sweet. bagay sa meringue frosting. Tapos di na ko gumamit ng mixer. whisk na lang.
And mahalaga pala talaga yung oven thermometer. kasi di tama yung temp ng oven.

I want to start baking na rin. anyone here who tried using artificial sweetener kesa sa sugar. meron may diabetes in the family.

mga sis yung nabibili bang baking cups na may designs stand-alone cups (not sure kung anong right term) ba yun? i mean yung pwedeng hindi na gamitan pa ng muffin pan pag nilagay sa oven.
tia

[j27]

^depende sa sinasabi mo, or sa nakita mo.

meron cupcake liners na may design pero kailangan nasa muffin pan kasi manipis lang yun. madalas, yan yung available sa mga baking store, grocery.

meron din cupcake cups na kahit hindi na ilagay sa muffin pan e pwede. meron individual aluminum container na ganyan, meron din yung parang paper na may designs. ipapatong mo lang sa baking sheet.

[viellemacey]

^thanks sis. yung foil cups yung tinutukoy ko. any idea saan available yung individual muffin cups? tia

[j27]

^take note, meron din foil na cupcake liners, manipis yan.

madidistinguish mo naman agad kung liner lang siya or cups. yung cups, usually may "lip" sa edge for every cup. hindi ko alam kung paano idescribe e. hehe.
or by simply touching, malalaman mo na kung matigas siya o hindi.

individual muffin cups na may design, hindi ko alam kung san makakabili ng ganyan dyan sa atin e. pero dito, meron ako nakita. set of 12 and 24 yata siya na magkakadikit pa. before or after baking, pwede mo na siya gupitin or punitin sa broken lines para maging individual.
