Guest Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) I have a Question. Many years ago I bought 50 cupcakes for a family party. My cousin took a bite and said this is not a cupcake. I always thought cupcakes are just cakes in a paper cup. Are there any different? Edited July 5, 2015 by sam7566 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caylus Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Try "marinating" Granny Smith apples with brown sugar, lemon zest, raisins and cinnamon and a bit of lemon juice before baking the pie. Awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hape Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Try "marinating" Granny Smith apples with brown sugar, lemon zest, raisins and cinnamon and a bit of lemon juice before baking the pie. Awesome!Sure. Add some apple juice in it, and some pan roasted peanut to add more texture and cruchines and it will be perfect, can be use with pineapple too, or u can mix the fruit, make the filling is very easy, the trick should be in the crust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottyBoy92 Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I have a Question. Many years ago I bought 50 cupcakes for a family party. My cousin took a bite and said this is not a cupcake. I always thought cupcakes are just cakes in a paper cup. Are there any different?Based on what I eat before, I think cupcakes are the ones with frosting( cream cheese, butter cream etc). Then the "cake-like" cupcakes are actually muffins. Like blueberry, banana etc. Thats how I differentiate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cupcake I got comes with cream make into red and white roses with green petals, very pretty. Looking at them, they are cupcakes. I believe my cousin was refering to the cake under the cream itself. They taste like normal pound/butter cake, with less butter because it is not so oily.

hape Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 As I know cupcakes use basic chiffon cake, and use lots of frosting.Muffins is not use in cupcakes making, becaus muffins have harder texture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought cupcakes are just cakes in a paper cup. Are there any different?I think the original terms are slowly being loss in our modern anything-goes society. Lots of time to be more creative or in the process of creating something new, people have criss cross recipes or ideas and hence harder to clearly define the two. https://www.facebook.com/CakesBakes/posts/480933451955456 Thks for your insight.

I believe my cousin was refering to the cake under the cream itself. They taste like normal pound/butter cake, with less butter because it is not so oily. base on history terminology than the pound/butter cake like cupcake you got is still cupcake as it also have sweet frosting. Other than being more bread-like in muffin, usually it doesn't contain top frosting and usually have fruits, nuts or other ingredient mixed into batter instead.

Guest Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 So there is no different between cupcakes and regular pound cake. Thks for the insight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shyc Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 If you follow some cooking shows, sometime they will suggest to bake in individual cupcake/ muffin pans if perferred for a small bite sizes for party. Actually I search and read up after seeing your question. Curiosity as well. Good to know too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caylus Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 (edited) Actually cupcake base can be any type of cake - chiffon cake, pound/ butter cake, sponge cakes, oil based cakes, flourless cakes, high-ratio cakes etc. Any cake batter baked in a cupcake liner yields cupcakes. However in our context, we tend to associate cupcakes with frostings. Muffins can be mixed by two methods - the wet and dry method and the beating method. The wet-and-dry method yields the "traditional" quickbread type of muffin. No beating is required and when batter is overmixed it will give very tough muffins. This is the same method used to make spiced carrot cakes. The muffin texture has big and small holes throughout when it is done via this method. The other muffin method is the cake method but it calls for much less butter compared to butter cakes. It is less rich compared to a pound cake.

Happypup Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Anyone has tips for the cream cheese icing for red velvet cupcakes? Did a batch and it turned out too watery and "melts" way too easily.. Prefer something a bit more stiff without losing the creaminess..

caylus Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) Anyone has tips for the cream cheese icing for red velvet cupcakes? Did a batch and it turned out too watery and "melts" way too easily.. Prefer something a bit more stiff without losing the creaminess.. Try this: 500g cream cheese, softened at room temp80g-140g butter, slightly softened (up to 140g)80g- 150g icing sugar. (add more if desired)1 tsp good quality Vanilla extract Method:1) Beat softened cream cheese till creamy. Do not need to beat for long. Once it comes together like frosting consistency can stop. 2) Add in softened butter to beaten cream cheese.3) Slowly sift in icing sugar. After 80g is added. Do taste test. Add in more to taste. 4) Add vanilla and beat till combined. Do not overbeat. Tips:1) Do not overbeat the cream cheese. The texture will turn grainy.2) The lower the amount of butter used, the less watery the texture is. can increase the amount after 80g to 120g if desired. 3) Slowly beat in 80g icing sugar. Add in more to taste. Personally I will stop at around 150g total. 4) Vanilla extract will round out the flavour. 5) After chilling the frosting will be really firm. eat straight from the fridge without softening the frosting if your red velvet cake is oil based. 6) If too much sugar is added the frosting will be crusty! Epic failure. Results:1) Relatively Low in sugar compared to alot of recipes that call for nearly 1:1 ratio sugar to cream cheese. 2) Good flavour if good quality of vanilla is used. Eg, Nielsen Massey. 3) Firm enough to pipe. 4) Thick texture if chilled properly. 5) Tested and proven to be welcomed =] Edited July 17, 2015 by caylus mike_amk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caylus Posted July 19, 2015 Report Share Posted July 19, 2015 On a side note, when doing any sweet recipes from any western authors/ websites, do check out the sugar content. The first thing I always cut is the sugar because they always use sugar in extreme excess. Some frosting recipes are so ridiculously sweet, especially the typical american buttercream recipes which uses just butter and lots of icing sugar.

Curious_Mac Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 One of my first cupcake creations It's a chocolate cupcake with vanilla butter cream frosting with baby booties topper. The baby booties are made manually. No cookie cutter. The fondant was cut manually using a sharp paring knife and a "flimsy" pattern then assembled one-by-one Since I need to make 50 cupcakes, I need to make 100 booties... Manually. Took me 3 days to complete everything.
