I love cupcakes and I love to bake them. I frequently make them for friends or for gatherings. For Election Day, I made some cupcakes for my work office; half of them were red and half were blue for Republicans and Democrats. It's fun that everyone gets their own cake. I have just agreed to bake some mini cheesecake cupcakes for a Christmas party that my friend is throwing. I got some advice from my friend to use foil liners instead of paper liners so the cheesecakes don't stick. I've seen a few recipes that make it easier for the baker making cheesecake cupcakes - using vanilla wafers (like Nilla Wafers) as the crust. Does anyone have any tips or ideas when it comes to baking cupcakes? It's a big craze with cupcakeries popping up everywhere, people having cupcake competitions on television, etc. Let's start a cupcake thread!
