I was wondering how you get the cupcake to come out perfect looking and not spill over the top and not be too low so the top can't be seen. Is there a science to how much batter you put in each cup and do you let the cups stand alone in the oven or are they in some sort of cupcake tray? Thanks for your blog. I love it!

The papers are sturdy enough to sit alone on a sheet pan. It depends on the recipe but in this case I fill the papers with exactly what fits in a 2 ounce ice cream scoop.

I just made the flour version, and they were fabulous! I've never liked caramel flavored things because they tend to be too sweet for me, but since I was in control of the sugar content, these came out perfectly. Thank you so much. I made them for a spinning (yarn) party, and they were a huge hit -- even with the children! Wow! I just made the flour version, and they were fabulous!

Thanks so much for inspiring me to try a salted caramel frosting! I wouldn't have been brave enough to try it without looking at your recipe. I made the chocolate/ganache/mint cupcakes at the same time, and like always, your recipes turned out awesome.

I'm trying to come up with a strawberry cupcake, but I'm not able to get good berries at a low price. Do you think it'd be enough to substitute the milk in a recipe with strawberry milk and add maybe three to four tablespoons of strawberry jam to a plain vanilla cupcake recipe? For the frosting, I tried mixing up strawberry jam with some butter, icing sugar and lemon juice, but it's a little too sweet, Do you think strawberry yoghurt mixed with icing sugar would work, especially if i needed to leave them out at room temperature, like at a bake sale? Thanks so much for any help you can offer. :) Hi, this isn’t related directly to your post, but I think you’ve got a really great site, and you seem like you’re really good at inventing new recipes.

Both times the frosting came out amazing and I got many compliments! Most recently, I made a small batch of cupcakes so I had leftover caramel and frosting so I made a small batch of cinnamon rolls and put the caramel on the bottom of the pan and frosted with the caramel frosting. It was delicious. I love your site, though my cupcakes are never as beautiful as yours, I'm working on it.
