How to Fill Cupcake Pans Neatly

A simple trick helps keep cupcake pans neat

Spooning cake batter into the cups in a cupcake pan can be a messy process. Any drips that land on the cupcake pan can burn on while the cupcakes are baking, requiring you to scrub them off. To avoid such drips, create a simple pastry piping bag to fill the cupcake cups neatly and quickly.

Things You'll Need

• Gallon resealable plastic storage bag
• Scissors

Instructions

1. Prepare the cake batter as usual.

2. Place the cake batter in a gallon storage bag and zip it closed.

3. Make a small cut in the corner of the plastic bag. Start with a small hole as you can make it larger if you need to.

4. Squeeze the cake batter out and through the incision in the corner and into your cupcake cups. The hole must be large enough the batter comes out with ease, but not so large that the batter drips when you are moving from cup to cup.
