Heather in Neverland Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Yes I am talking about ACTUAL cupcakes (naughty! naughty!). :tongue_smilie: I am making cupcakes for my ds's birthday party tomorrow and they all came out really sort of tall and, well, pointy. I don't bake. Ever. So why did this happen? What did I do wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grace'smom Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Are you putting too much batter into the mold? What if you try to flatten them out prior to baking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teachin'Mine Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 They'll taste just as good and the kids definitely won't mind! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heather in Neverland Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 They'll taste just as good and the kids definitely won't mind! :) :D Thanks for the encouragement. I made 4 dozen cupcakes and bought frosting in 8 different colors and all kinds of toppings and at the party they get to frost them and decorate them any way they want and then eat them! So I am hoping the pure sugar rush will keep them from noticing the weird shape of the cupcakes. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
