As a Christmas gift I received this BabyCakes cupcake maker.
I've just finally gotten a chance to use it last night. It's great! You just make the cupcake batter as you normally would, put it in each of the individual chambers, and close the lid!
The cupcakes bake in just about six minutes.
The only thing is, while going through all of the instructions in the manual it said that the paper backings aren't needed as they are in conventional oven. The surface is non-stick and the cupcakes should pop right out. Now you can use the paper backing if you'd prefer, and I would absolutely recommend it. I chose not to use them, and I did have some trouble getting the cupcakes out of the chambers. They came out just fine and they were cooked perfectly, but the bottoms of the cakes were a little broken and crumbly because I hadn't used the paper. Oh well, they were delicious! And for next time I know to use paper.
BabyCakes cupcake maker also come with a small recipe book with a bunch of cupcake recipes, frosting recipes, and is also good for making pie and tarts. I will definitely being using this baby often, and I will be trying out the recipes they offer. The above cupcakes are a bit sloppy, and I had never used an icing bag before. It comes with the bag and four tips for decorating, I plan on practicing different techniques each time I use the machine. Overall, it's great.
Oh my that's SO cute. x
