The Biggest Mistakes Everyone Makes When Making Cupcakes

They may not be quite as trendy anymore as they were when Carrie Bradshaw ate one outside Magnolia Bakery on Sex and the City, but cupcakes are still one of the best handheld dessert treats out there. They're great for kids' birthday parties, backyard barbecues, and even weddings. And they're much easier to make at home than a big layer cake.

But that doesn't mean that they're foolproof, even if you're using boxed cake mix. There are some things you absolutely should and should not do when you bake up your next batch of cupcakes. So what should you avoid? Here are the biggest mistakes everyone makes when making cupcakes.

Do you have any tips for making cupcakes?

Always weigh your ingredients. Once you start, you’ll never go back to measuring cups—no matter how careful you are, you can still end up with incorrect amounts. ❤

I agree !! Dont overbake them when you test for doneness there should be a few miost crumbs not totally clean

Over mixing the dough and get a tough cupcake in the end.

Go light on most frostings. Too much takes away the cake flavor.

Burning the bottom....make sure to put some paper on a tray then place CC tins on top of paper

Weighing your ingredients really is better. Same results every single time.
