Useful Baking Tips

  • • Room Temperature: Always use room temperature eggs and butter for a smoother, more even batter.
  • • Don't Overmix: Mix your flour in until just combined. Overmixing develops gluten and makes cupcakes tough.
  • • Oven Temp: Preheat your oven fully! An accurate temperature is crucial for a perfect rise.
