Tips for Mess-Free Cupcakes

Here are a few baking tips so your cupcakes come out perfect every time:

  • Make sure to fill the cupcake liners only about halfway full. This will help prevent the batter from overflowing and making a mess.
  • I like to spray the paper liners with non-stick baking spray. That way the cake will not stick to the liner when you're ready to remove the liner and enjoy the baked treats.
  • Bake the cupcakes according to the directions listed in each recipe, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
