Cupcakes, muffins, cupcakes. Questions and answers

[Musenovna]

I am looking for a good muffin recipe. Most that I come across are very similar to cupcakes or cupcakes. And I want to be airy, something like biscuit.

Musenovna, and the cupcakes are not biscuit?

Musenovna, and the cupcakes are not biscuit?

The fact of the matter is that I get that cupcakes, that muffins of the same crumb structure. Plump, maybe a little more airy than a cupcake. In my understanding, muffins should be lighter, more porous. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or not the best recipes.

I'm completely confused. But the meaning of the question seems to be clear. I want airiness.

In my understanding, muffins should be lighter, more porous. Maybe I'm doing something wrong or not the most successful recipes.

Cupcakes are cup-sized cakes. Our cakes are biscuit / cake + cream. In such recipes, as a rule, either whites or butter are necessarily whipped. And sometimes the first and second. Thanks to the whipped egg whites / butter, we have a light, airy, porous dough.
Nothing is whipped in muffins. Mixed separately liquid ingredients, separately dry. Then both masses are quickly combined in a couple of doubles, immediately laid out in tins and baked. Usually muffins are denser. In addition, they often contain several times more additives than they allow themselves to add to muffins / biscuits.
Here are a couple of pictures of muffins for clarity.

Whole grain muffins with carrot, apple, pineapple, raisins, coconut, sunflower seeds, pumpkin, chia, hemp

If you want lightness and porosity, look for biscuits (aka cupcakes, + some cupcakes)
tek like biscuits rarely like additives, or a very small amount of them, then soak or fill the cupcakes after baking, taking out the core. For this, jam, cream, Kurds, etc. are used.

I wanted to share it somewhere. If not in the subject, I will delete it. yesterday wanted to play naughty)))) made such "sandwiches". Ideyku Oksana iskussnitsa borrowed)))) I made caviar for the first time with peach jelly + a little cherry syrup. Sponge cake, custard sour cream, prunes, jelly

I made caviar for the first time with peach jelly

Great! We must try too. I found a master class on making such caviar.

Do you mean caviar or sandwiches? Well, butters - this roll is slightly smeared with cream with prunes. And caviar - I bought jelly, added half the water as on the package, but I also had to add gelatin (a dessert spoon). She poured refined sunflower oil into two bowls. and put it in the freezer. I put a little cooled jelly into a syringe from a children's medicine, and let's spawn, just kidding, and drop it into a well-chilled oil. Well, in one go, she released about 15 ml and back into the freezer for a few minutes. And so on until that time until we outline a sufficient amount of caviar. Then strain gently on a strainer. Place the caviar on a paper towel. to pick up excess oil. do not keep on a towel for a long time. Seems usjo, ask.

[Anka_DL]

Anka_DL, thanks, now I figured it out

[geisika]

geisika, good sandwiches !!!!!!!!
3 years ago, my mother-in-law on New Year's Eve took offense at me for such buters ... like, I deceived everyone ...

[geisika]

Do you mean caviar or sandwiches?

geisika, both. Well done, delicious!

Girls! Please tell me who often makes custom-made cupcakes, what size of paper capsule do you have the most popular? I want to order capsules at VTK, but there are so many of them, I can’t figure out which size is better, I don’t want to get 2000 pieces of non-popular forms.I tend to go for 50mm bottom diameter, 43mm height, or 55/43 or 55/35. I'm just confused about which ones to take. HELP!

[LIGHT I]

LIGHT I, you were told in the parallel site that just right

What is a parallel site? Is it just 50 bottom, 43 height?

Girls, how much does a cupcake weigh on average?

Girls-craftswomen, and hello again !!!!!! The customer wants this wedding cake with cupcakes. What size should the portioned cakes be here? There should be as many as 60 of them.

We are trying to make a cake in the purchased Mirta 1613 bread maker. The sequence of actions is a little unclear. The recipe says to set the "cupcake" mode. Brush with water before baking. We put the ingredients in, set the "cupcake" mode, the timer showed 1:20. When the time was up, the bread maker squeaked, showed 00:00 on the scoreboard and, apparently, was not going to do anything further. We waited about 10 minutes, pressed the stop, and set the "baking" mode. Is this how it should be? Or should I have waited longer?

This should be seen in your instructions for the bread maker.

Hello girls, tell me the recipe for delicious muffins, so that they are not dry. Thank you

Girls! I decided to try with cupcakes, but for now it's scary to get into this business. Some things do not fit in my head and have not yet found answers to some questions.
One type of cupcakes - cupcakes decorated with cream on top - more or less clear with them ...
But how about cupcakes decorated with mastic? Do they get without cream at all? Is it just something like cupcakes or muffins, or is the cream added in some clever way there too? )))
Oh, in general, somehow I wrote confusingly ...
Or maybe someone will share a link on the most successful recipes for cupcakes so that you can experiment with the color of the cream and design? Thank you very much in advance)))

Good day! Help! just over a week left before Halloween! children ask for cupcakes to school. There is no time to experiment. You need 60-70 pieces. The most important requirement is to preserve the presentation by the sixth lesson (a holiday on it), the daughter will be busy with the boxes herself. Advise what to decorate with so that you can live until dinner. There is mastic for wrapping the cake, I can make any cream. I would be grateful for the links! Thank you very much for your help and ideas!

[ordered cupcakes for children's DR, theme - pirates]

The other day ordered cupcakes for children's DR, theme - pirates... I do them very rarely, so the price was called "from the ceiling" - 60 rubles. PC. They agreed. On the trail. day they write that they offered to decorate THEIR cupcakes for 15 rubles. PC. , if I agree to such conditions, they will order from me. I didn't sign up for this. Make pirate faces out of mastic for each cupcake (it is not clear what quality) for 15 rubles. , how do you like this proposal?

ANSWER

Julia, at first I mixed up and mentally read 60 rubles as 60 hryvnia. And I think: "Wow, what a cool order! Perhaps, I would also agree for that kind of money."
And after a couple of minutes it dawned on me in what currency the calculations were and most of all they made fun of 15 rubles for a piece of jewelry! I go nuts (I really can't find other words) from such an underestimation of labor.

Surname, people, of course, LJ
I recently had pirate muffins, I also needed mastic motives, and since I'm lazy, I just ordered waffle pictures
and pasted them on top, by the way, the price for a thing is about the same, about 60 rubles. I did it in silence, without announcing.
So the customer did not even understand ... she was so happy

They wanted such a decoration for 15 rubles. pcs and after all someone took it (if they don't lie)
how to hide the image under the spoiler?

what is the real price you can put for cupcakes with approximately this decor?

For example

Installing a hose to the drain barrel costs 170-200 rubles (excluding the cost of the hose)
Work takes 2-3 minutes

Creative work

Spat ... screwed it myself

I made such faces)))))))))) it's very simple to do them))))))))))))) the price was 60 rubles.

Greetings to all!
Can you please tell me what to do so that the raisins do not fall to the bottom during the preparation of the cake?

read a lot, and got confused in the edge (
You need a link to a recipe for a cupcake, which, when baked, does not give a dome and will withstand decoration with butter cream and coating with mastic decor.

Girls, but no one knows how to remove the middle of the cake with such a piston?

[julia_bb]

julia_bb,

Interesting video. So you can also use a regular syringe, like 10-ku or 20-ku, so it can be adapted ..

Yes, I did this before, when there was nothing like this. For this purpose and for the canapé, I cut off the top of the syringe:



Then I bought special molds in China



And then I bought the following syringes from Teskoma:

dopleta, thanks, everything is quite simple. I couldn't find the link on YouTube in any way)
I just made an order and ordered this piston to a heap, but I did not understand how it works))

Larissa, which size is more suitable? Will 10 be enough?

No, Lena, it won't be enough. I have twenty:

My cupcakes.
The base is dough for cupcakes from Artisan, on top is MB. Cupcakes in white tins have raspberry-curd filling, in blue ones - apple jam with zest. MB in white forms tinted with red dye from a sugar pencil.
Funny, of course, but very tasty.

The composition is tasteful .. But this topic is for questions, not for discussion.

Girls, you can poke my nose in the fillings. I want something interesting (well, not just jam ..)), but without oil ... (so that it is not very expensive).

I used to read Nastya's site often. Ever since the times when she did not publish books and had an old kitchenette .. Then she acquired utensils .. the kitchen became new .. We readers have seen everything .. A forum appeared and so on ..
So that year I decided to register. There was a question about mastic. Apparently in the wrong topic my post was simply deleted. I wrote in the questions how to be a beginner and where to go. In addition, she sent her greetings to Nastya with remarks about strict moderation)
This post was also deleted.

In parallel, I wrote on this forum. Certainly not in the topic where you should ask. It is difficult to immediately decide .. Here they treated with understanding, even though I found out about the forum from Google ..

Since then this site, even if I don't need to go ... Offended) Became big and fat, but angry)

And here are the moderators darlings

a question for those who make cupcakes with mastic decor:
What mastic do you think the decor in the photo is made of?


I made from Khegaevskaya flower, it is delicious, but dries quickly and becomes hard and brittle

what mastic do you make?

[tim_wed]

tim_wed, it seems to me that Hekai mastic is still for flowers on a wire, close to living ones. And for decorating caps and cakes, you can use everything else, except for gelatin. I use shokomastics.

I use shokomastics.

Thank you, Elya!
I tried to make such flowers from dairy, they do not roll out so thinly.
I made plastic chocolate and flowers from it myself, so it also hardens and becomes hard and brittle

I did shokomastics, so she, too, with gelatin. So it freezes like caramel ...

That is, the flowers and details on the cupcakes should be soft like marshmallows, or like mastic for covering?

[tim_wed]

tim_wed, I saw your flowers, beautiful, made of chocolate are generally excellent. I do not know how it should be, it is not regulated anywhere, but cupcakes imply that they will be eaten completely, so the jewelry should be in that state so as not to harm the teeth and ruin the eater's mood by the presence of toothpicks or wire. And yet, the price of cakes is not high enough to make labor-intensive flowers on them.
Plastic chocolate will still be tasty after hardening, but again you need to look at it from the economic point of view: a chocolate flower will cost more than the cupcake itself in terms of labor costs and the price of chocolate ..

I saw your beautiful flowers

Thank you!

From the mastic according to the recipe of Hegai or Price, quite tasty flowers are obtained!
And without wire, you can make beautiful decorations for kapiks.
I would like to understand what kind of flowers other craftswomen have to touch?

And is it acceptable that my "crispy" like caramel?))

Citizens of the forum, help someone with what they can, well, the caps with a beautiful top do not come out in any way and I put less dough in the molds, and I changed the soda and baking powder and tried different amounts, and I bake them already at 120 degrees, they still stick out what deeeeaaaaat?

what doeeeeaaaaat?

Buy an elektrokeksnitsa - none of the owners complained to the top

[Piano]

Piano, well, it's not so interesting to want to master the oven option

[Incompetent]

Incompetent, do not be offended! My oven immediately gives from 150, it can not be less. And the cupcake heats up instantly and in 15 minutes two portions are ready, each time fresh and beautiful.

Girls, good afternoon everyone! Tell me, they ordered to bake cupcakes at prom. I am generally a novice wizard, but risk is a noble cause. So here's the question: which cream is better to use in the filling and which one is on the outside under the mastic, so that my cupcake will certainly not flow in the summer.

[Incompetent]

Incompetent, what recipe are you making? If I have a cupcake recipe, then even ones don't work either. Always with a tubercle. Even if I use less dough, the edge of the cake does not reach the edge of the mold, and the middle is raised. Here you can get out of the situation by cutting off the middle to even. Or you can take another recipe. I bake sponge cake in boiling water with different fillings. Then the cupcakes are smooth.

[Husky]

Husky, uh ... here's a recipe:
200 gr sifted flour
1.25 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 large eggs
220 g sugar
1.5 tsp. vanilla extract
120 ml vegetable oil
120 ml of kefir
that's why, when I put less dough, they don't even reach the edges with a tubercle .... That is, the vnk goes without a tubercle and everything is super? and why didn't I try

[Vanillope]

Vanillope, inside you can fruit filling. Top with ganache (chocolate + butter) or butter cream.
I love the fruit filling for THIS recipe
Fruit can be anything. Delicious with all kinds of fruits.
