So as I am writing this post I am busy taking a teacher graduate class in…..Galway, Ireland! Oh my what a place people. So before we talk cupcakes, I thought I might share with you a few photos of my travels thus far if you’re ok with that…
This is a picture of a walk after a tour of the city of Galway Bay. Don’t you just love the colored houses?
Of course all the walking means I need to stop and take a coffee break. Such a fun and friendly city that is full of culture.
Ok one more, before we talk cupcakes. Earlier this week, we took a trip to Connemara and viewed the Kylemore Abbey. Of course its Ireland so that means it’s raining pretty much all the time. But the landscape here is truly the most breathtaking thing I have ever seen in my entire life…
Ok so now on to the subject at hand…cupcakes. Since I’ve been super busy bopping around Galway and clearly can’t whip up any delicious treats to share with you all. I thought instead I would share with you one of my go tips for baking the perfect cupcake. I love making cupcakes. Eating them. Then again who doesn’t? I have a lot of tips up my sleeve for baking the perfect cupcake..but my #1 tip to perfectly domed cupcakes like you see at the bakery?
Tip: Fill your cupcake liners 3/4 full. Bake at 400 F for the first five minutes. Then lower the temperature to 350 F for the remainder of the baking time.
That first initial blast of heat will cause the tops of the cupcakes to puff up. By lowering the temperature you can then bake the cupcakes fully without burning them or having the batter explode out of the top of the pans.
And that’s it! That’s how I always ensure my cupcakes come out perfectly domed…
