cupcakes

Cupcakes are single-serving mini cakes that are usually prepared in cupcake liners. They are great for occasions like birthdays, Halloween, and other special events. The base is typically made from a simple batter, evenly distributed into cupcake liners in a pan, and then baked.

Once they are cooled, the top is garnished with various frostings and other treats. This sets cupcakes apart from muffins, which are ready to eat right after baking. The basic cupcake batter can have various flavours, such as vanilla, chocolate, banana, apple, pumpkin, or nut. Similarly, the frosting can be flavoured, using ingredients like curd, mascarpone, ricotta, butter, pudding, and more. However, the frosting is just the beginning. In order to make cupcakes truly perfect, it’s ideal to incorporate pieces of fresh or lyophilized fruit, nuts, chocolate chunks, and similar additions into the frosting. This will elevate these mini cakes to perfection!
