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 made these for my child's birthday party at school, and it was a HUGE hit! They were easy to make and really adorable. People couldn't stop talking about them... but they were simple!
