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.

This was an easy way to "fancy-up" simple cupcakes. My advice is to start looking early for the other color licorice. I could only find red (and black) and the red looked like red zinnias, not the daisies I wanted to make.

Ilike the Idea, of the flower top, but I think finding differnt colors of licorice, would be more time consuming,and not a regular item found in a grocery store.

I made this once, and it was mediocre. I'm not fond of the colored licorice. I've had it before. It made the cupcakes look nice, but that was all. I like the old fashioned licorice taste. Maybe if I had children, they might like the 'new' colored licorice.
