vetochka_m, alcohol plays the role of a preservative here. The alcohol disappears gradually. It seems to me that there is no danger to children. I give this cupcake to mine. Whether this cake will be stored without alcohol is a question.

Hello everybody! Take me into your ranks, please!
Made cupcakes for the first time. Everything seemed to work out well. But now the impregnation question. I did not master the whole branch, but I read 30 pages, I did not find an answer to my question.
Actually, the question is: is it possible not to soak the cupcakes at all, or can there be options for non-alcoholic soaking? I baked 3 cupcakes, soaked 2, and left one for now. Can't imagine how to give alcoholic cupcakes to young children. Or will the alcohol somehow disappear during maturation? Do you give cupcakes like this to kids?

Svetlana, give the children freshly baked cupcakes and do not suffer from the alcohol dilemma. My cupcakes have been living their own lives for a month now, today I have visited, everything is fine (no signs of spoilage, including mold, no), I tasted the crumbs, decided that the taste did not get better ... Still, I would give fresh to small children. ..

Thanks for the answers, girls! That's what I thought. I'm going to soak the cupcake left without alcohol :). I think it hasn't gone bad yet.
I came to my senses late this year, I was late with soaking dried fruits, so I only baked muffins this Saturday.
Arnica
And today I made half a portion of fruit, I will bake it in a week. We'll eat later, we'll eat the first ones first.

Olyushka I also want to soak, let them be

The girls, receiving guests yesterday, recalled Christmas cuisine. As gifts I prepared baskets with glazed gingerbread, and, well, I could not help but treat a cupcake. God! I’ll tell you, it’s obscenely tasty! Honestly, I did not expect such a furor. I thought the cake was like a cake, baked a month ago ... The guests were overjoyed! Thanks to Lyudmila for introducing us to the cake recipe.

Girls. I have a little question matured. I baked for the first time this year. And such an incident turned out I soaked him on Fridays. and last Friday I forgot to soak - I got sick. I remembered only this morning and impregnated immediately. Question: Do the next impregnation on Friday or next Tuesday now?
Giraffe
I would impregnate on Friday
lulu2885
yes, I will probably saturate on Friday: snegurochka: thanks

Good day everyone! Girls who have been baking this cupcake for years, please help me with advice .. I baked cupcakes for the first time four weeks ago. Each was wrapped in parchment, foil and a plastic bag. I regularly "sing" them with cognac. In the process of another "drinking" I noticed that the parchment under the bottom of the muffins was oiled. Is that how it should be or was the technology broken somewhere?
Giraffe
It's okay. If you were warmed up in a bathhouse like that, given a drink, fed, put to bed, wrapped you up with a blanket, you would also sweat. But seriously, the cake has a decent amount of butter and good fat content, so everything is natural.
MomMaxa
Thank you so much! That's really really ... there was no sadness cooked up Christmas cupcakes ... I follow them like a little child! But how exciting!
GenyaF
Anya! Wrap it in new parchment, which is what I do when it gets too oily. Last year's cupcake was finished at the end of October, everything was great.

And I would - a week after the last, that is, on Tuesday.

Zhenya, what did you eat for 10 months? And how did the taste change?
GenyaF
So you read the topic! Alexandra (if I don't confuse anything) kept this cupcake for three years, and 10 months is not a very long time for this cupcake. And the taste changed - the less there was, the tastier it was
Giraffe
Due to the fact that our lifestyle and food in the family have changed this year, I don’t bake ... Not because I gave up sweets, but because that year I baked 4 different types and we still have 4 different ones. The current daily baking has not been canceled. So I want to say. The taste does not spoil. So don't worry about it.
But this year I bake old Polish gingerbread. Now your muffins are ripening, and I have dough

Girls. Recipes in the studio Please I like the recipes so much, when you wait, you walk around, you smell. And he (the cupcake) is so important, it is soaked. Today I anointed it with cognac and I think it will not be too soft, loose? After all, moisture does not evaporate from it. I already changed him into clean clothes

Don't be afraid, it won't. You don't fill it in, you just lubricate it.

Larissa! We have everything! here is Katarzhinka https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=193481.0 , and here is the old Polish https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=178690.0
Zhen, thanks, I'll see
Giraffe Something I can't wait to finally try it
GenyaF
Larissa! So we are already trying, the edges have been trimmed and we indulge in scraps You check - maybe your cupcakes are slightly crooked
Husky
I've already tried small piece cupcakes !! They are already gone !! I try to persuade myself with every soaking that I've had enough of small cupcakes. Yes, that I do not give in to persuasion. I also trim the big muffins a little bit. It's good that I have 9 of them. So I hope that at least something will remain by Christmas.
Scops owl
Lyudmila, Zhenya and I endure, I’m probably a masochist. I can only smell the smell
So I think I need to buy ribbons. I want to give a couple as a present. I don't know how to decorate yet, I haven't decided. Dried fruits are probably faster. The paper can be cut out in a wide strip with patterned edges and a ribbon, a little narrower around to tie it with a bow. And I think I'll take white paper for baking.

I baked muffins a week ago tomorrow, tell me to smear the first coating of cognac from all sides (top, bottom, sides) or just from above, and what is the approximate amount of cognac that goes into one coating ???
kava
Yes, smear from all sides. I pour about 50-70 ml into a cup and brush over with a silicone brush. For 3 muffins (this amount is obtained from 1 portion of dough) is enough.
Irina1607
Thanks tomorrow there will be the first ceremonial coating

Quote: kava

Yes, smear from all sides.
Oh, and I never smeared the bottom, only the top and sides. Nothing for him? Suddenly moldy from the bottom? Then tomorrow night I will anoint the bottom separately, and the sides and top I sing cognac on Wednesdays
kava
I think that there is nothing wrong. There is still time
Scops owl
Well, yes, I'll miss it 3 times. It's a pity that I didn’t understand. For some reason I decided that since it stands on it (bottom), then it is not necessary to smear it
Giraffe
And I never smeared the bottom and everything is fine.
GenyaF
I also smear the bottom every other time
Merri
Lyudmila Liss wrote somewhere that the bottom can not be oiled, only the top and sides.
Arnica
And I thought that it was necessary from all sides

Yes, I don’t know, it just happens

Virgos, phew, calmed down. And I really thought that one such with an uncoated bottom
Verik
Girls. One of my "pets". And the director is a Catholic, so it turned out to be a good present. I apologize for the background - I took a photo at work.

And I also smeared the bottom only once.

Ver, did you write on the glaze? Have already eaten ...
Merri
Vera, great present! Appreciated?
Verik
I drew with gel pencils on glaze.
Hopefully appreciated. Today I somehow didn’t ask. But we ourselves tried one cupcake right after baking - it was delicious. Hopefully it got even better during the ripening period.
MomMaxa
Good day everyone! And today I parted with one of my "first-borns" My godmother's husband was lucky ...
English christmas cupcake There was no time for decoration at all. My husband cut circles in the kitchen ... Therefore, she poured snowflakes from MM from above with icing. I don’t know for the taste ... our strict relative decided to wait for Christmas ... And we plan to try our remaining ones for the New Year ...
Scops owl
Therefore, I flooded with icing, from above, snowflakes from MM.
Anh, did you buy snowflakes? Beautiful turned out
MomMaxa
No, Larissa, these are fellings! Like these ones..... English christmas cupcake
Very convenient, spanked snowflakes, and then decorate everything!
Scops owl
I would also buy such felling, excellent. I took it for a long time and where, don't you remember?
Indeed, you can quickly decorate with them, and so beautifully.

And I recently looked at such clearings and thought: are they needed - are they not? It turns out that they are very much needed!

I don’t want to heavily decorate the cupcake. The classic decoration for him is icing sugar or chocolate icing. Maybe I'll pour ganache before use ...
N @ T @
Girls, it's about taste, right? And abundant glaze, mastic, ganache - they will spoil it, am I wrong?
Merri
In general, I also had no idea to decorate it, it is already beautiful in itself! But, if decorating, I'm for chocolate.
N @ T @
Ira, you're just a temptress, I love chocolate, maybe try to decorate a piece
Vilapo
I don't decorate myself and my daughter, I sprinkle it with a little powdered sugar. I give it to my friends, decorate with mastic
