Burnt Bottoms

This post is inspired by my friend, Bern. If your bottoms (I mean your cupcake's bottoms) are burning, here are some tips that might help. Just a side note, I want to just emphasize that I'm no professional. These tips are just tips that have helped me in the cupcake making process:

-Use cupcake liners

-Make sure you pre-heat your oven to the appropriate temperature

-For conventional (or radiant) ovens*, place your pans in the middle rack, NOT the bottom. You might even be able to place them on the top rack but it all depends on your oven.

-Half way through baking, turn your pans around so that the heat isn’t concentrated in one area. For example, with my oven, cupcakes usually take about 22 min. to bake. So I set the timer to 10 min. When the timer goes off I turn the pans then set the timer for another 12 min.

Hope this helps :)
