EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Reynolds StayBrite Baking Cups are fashion-inspired designs that won’t fade during baking.

Either light or dark molasses can be used in the cupcake batter. Light molasses is lighter in both flavor and color, while dark molasses is fuller flavored, thicker and less sweet.

If I used Betty Crocker's 14.5 oz. Gingerbread Cake-Cookie Mix, how would I change the ingredients in this recipe?
