How do you fill cupcakes without a tip?

You can fill your cupcakes with just about anything, from custard to jam to buttercream frosting. If you are using frosting, you can pipe it into the hole with a piping bag. If you are using a more fluid filling, such as custard or jam, or you can push it into the hole with a small teaspoon. Decorate the cupcake.

Can I leave unfrosted cupcakes out overnight?

Unfrosted cupcakes will stay fresh for two days without refrigeration. However, if you plan to cover the cupcakes with frosting that requires refrigeration, you should wait to frost them until you are ready to serve them—within two days.

Why are my cupcakes so airy?

Over mixing can add too much air to your batter. When you put cupcakes in the hot oven with too much air in the batter, the hot air will only make it seem as if your cupcakes are rising as the air escapes, causing the dreaded deflation.

How do you make the perfect cupcake shape?

The trick to perfect consistently shaped cupcakes is an ice cream scoop. We use a 3 tablespoon scoop which fills the cupcake liners 2/3 full which is the perfect amount of batter for each cupcake. Too little batter (liners 1/2 filled) and the cupcakes won't rise over the edge of the cupcake liner.

How do you make cupcakes rise evenly?

Fill cupcakes only ⅔ full so they have space to rise. Bake one cupcake tray at a time. If you have to bake two - have the oven fan on so it will distribute heat evenly but at a lower setting. Rotate the pan in between cooking this will help them rise evenly too.

How full do you fill cupcakes?

For standard 2½-inch cupcakes, fill cupcake liners with ¼ cup batter or about ⅔ to ¾ of the way full. Avoid adding too much batter, or the cupcakes will overflow the cups as they bake and cause a mess.
