EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If only one 12-cup muffin pan is available, refrigerate the remaining batter while baking the first 12 cupcakes.

For a quick and fluffy frosting, stir a little caramel topping into whipped topping. Decorate with chopped peanuts or miniature chocolate chips.

Stir 1/4 cup miniature chocolate chips into the cupcake batter for chocolate chip cupcakes. Stir a drop or two of mint extract into your favorite frosting.

No time to frost? Simply dust these sweet treats with baking cocoa. Or sprinkle with chocolate chips before baking.

I made this cupcakes and they are probably one of the worst cupcakes I have ever tasted. Tastes more like a biscuit than a cake. Actually it tastes like a really biscuit-y cake. The texture falls apart. The only thing that was the saving grace to these was this frosting recipe http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes/fudgy-frosted-brownie-cookies/0164e8d5-7390-46d1-bee4-23971605f588#?st=6&term=bisquick cookies&ps=9&pi=9&fv=AND(HasGridViewImage%3ATrue) But then it tastes like you're eating a frosting covered biscuit.

These cupcakes had a very strong baking powder taste. They were okay with lots of frosting but I have had better.
