EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you have only one pan and a recipe calls for more cupcakes than your pan will make, cover and refrigerate the rest of the batter while baking the first batch. Cool the pan about 15 minutes, then bake the rest of the batter, adding 1 to 2 minutes to the bake time.

I could not find orange candies for the eyes so I just make some orange frosting and piped it on, then I put some black wilton icing color on a toothpick and made dots for the center of the eye. Mine look more like Big Bird but are still very cute. I think that I not use the whipped for the middle next time. The yellow center needs to be a little firmer for the jellybean.
