How Many Tablespoons of Batter Will Fill a Cupcake Liner?

Fill your cupcake wrappers 2/3 full – around 3 tablespoons – or one decent ice scream scoop. Avoid filling your cupcake liners with too much batter as they will not bake properly and might overflow when they rise.

Make Ahead Cupcake-Freezing Instructions

Cupcakes can be made ahead 1 day in advance, covered, and stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Frosting can also be made 1 day in advance, covered, and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Frosted or unfrosted cupcakes can be frozen up to 2-3 months. To ensure freshness, I like to wrap the container in plastic wrap until ready to use. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

Tips for Tender Moist Cupcakes

Good ingredients equals great taste. To send your guests straight to cupcake heaven use only the best ingredients. Like real butter, real vanilla and dark dutch cocoa.
Never over bake a cupcake. You can never save an over baked cupcake. You’re doing it right when your cupcakes look slightly sunken, rather than peaked. Test them with a toothpick if you’re unsure–if no batter clings to the pick, they’re done.
Mix batter with a light hand. Baking fluffy, moist cupcakes is all about creating air bubbles in your batter that expand in the oven. If you over mix your batter, you collapse those bubbles. To avoid this mix on a low speed, stopping just as all ingredients blend.
Let all ingredients come to room temperature before baking. All ingredients incorporate into batter mush more easily if they’re at similar temperatures.
Baking in advance? Freeze cupcakes. If you’re baking to eat right away, we recommend storing cupcakes at room temperature. But if they’re for tomorrow, freezing will retain their moisture much better than leaving them on a counter overnight.

How to Store Frosting

Frostings that are made with shortening can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container on the counter up to 2 weeks. Frostings with butter and milk should be stored in the refrigerator with an air tight lid up to 2 weeks or freezer up to 3 months.

Tips for a Light and Fluffy Frosting

Good ingredients “real” butter not margarine
Room temperature ingredients
Be patient…you’ll need to whip the frosting at least 3 to 5 minutes (sometimes I do this step twice). This will allow air to incorporate into the butter and create the lightness you want.
That’s it! It’s really not as hard as you might think.
