Why are my cupcakes not light and fluffy?

"Baking fluffy, moist cupcakes is all about creating air bubbles in your batter that expand in the oven," she says. "If you over-mix your batter, you collapse those bubbles and end up with a brick-like cake." To avoid this, always mix on a low speed, stopping just as all ingredients blend.

Is it OK to put wax paper in the oven?

Wax paper is paper that has been impregnated and coated with food-grade paraffin to make it stronger and more moisture-resistant than untreated paper. The Web site of Reynolds Consumer Products, maker of Cut-Rite wax paper, states that wax paper can be used in the oven as long as it never is exposed directly to heat./span>

What happens if you put wax paper in the oven?

Wax paper is safe for many purposes but it is not safe when you put it into oven. It has a low melting point. So, it will melt in the oven and may make smoke. It also can be attached to your food./span>

At what temperature does wax paper melt?

Wax paper melts when exposed to heat, while parchment can withstand temperatures up to 450°F, depending on the brand. Both types of paper are a great surface for rolling out pastry dough to prevent sticking and for layering cookies and candies when storing.

Can you bake on aluminum foil?

Yes, certainly you can. For that matter, you can simply grease the cookie sheet itself, although that means scrubbing after baking. Cooking times would be the same as for parchment. You CAN bake cookies on aluminum foil, but you should be aware that they will cook faster and the bottoms will brown more and get crispy.
