Now that we’re stuck in our homes, baking is one of the new skills that we can learn at home. And, if you already know how to bake, this is the perfect time for you to sharpen your skills and try out new recipes.
Also, improving your baking skills would be helpful if you’d like to start a side hustle.
You can start by enhancing the look of your cupcakes and make them look more professional like how the pastries from Candy’s Cupcakes look. With that, let me share with you five tips on how to make your cupcakes look professional.
1. Create your version of frosting
I can’t stress this tip sufficiently. Take the time to create your own icing if you have access to an electric handheld or stand mixer. Trust me; it’s worth it all the time. The store purchased icing is very sugary and fake so that any great cake can fall down.
Only three ingredients are required in most basic buttresses: butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla essence. Moreover, they usually take only minutes. Try your next batch of velvet cupcakes or a silky chocolate ganache with a typical cream cheese to completely refresh your cupcake taste.
2. Serve it with elegance
People initially consume with their eyes, so be sure that your cupcakes appear clean. For example, you can use a tube bag and use a tube bag to freeze. Use a large star tip to swirl on your icing to obtain the traditional cupcake look. It is much easier than it looks with a bit of practice, and your turbulence may make a significant impact. You can cut a hole into the bottom of a gallon-size zip lock bag when you do not have a piping bag.
3. Make sure all the cupcakes have the same size
If you’re baking a lot of cupcakes, make sure they’re all the same size. This will help them bake evenly in the oven. They will appear much more professional in this manner. Fill your cupcake liners about two-thirds of the way full with batter using an ice cream scoop.
4. Add fillings
You’ve arrived at the point where the stakes are really high. Are you ready to astound and surprise your friends and family with your baking skills? Fill your cupcakes with something delectable, and they’ll be blown away when they take their first bite.
Remove the center of the cupcake with the open end of a large star tip, a cupcake corer, or even a knife and fill it with whatever you choose. Vanilla pudding, fresh fruit, homemade caramel, or even a ball of edible cookie dough are some ideas.
5. Show off your baking skills and experiment
You have to try new things occasionally. If you’re following a recipe, don’t be afraid to add an extra item that you think will enhance the flavor. If you’re hesitant to attempt new things with your cakes, start with modest substitutions like cake flour instead of all-purpose flour or fresh vanilla bean instead of vanilla extract.
Furthermore, don’t be scared to experiment with flavor combinations other than chocolate and vanilla. A french toast cupcake with maple buttercream and candied bacon is also available. Experiment with tastes to your heart’s content; the sky’s the limit!
