Tips for Baking Pumpkin Spiced Cupcakes

Video Transcript

"Hi I am Georgette Rampone with Expert Village. We are making pumpkin spice cupcakes with vanilla bean cream cheese icing. We have our tins that are already filled. They are in a silicone baking cup on top of a cookie sheet for support. I am going to be putting this in a 350 degree oven. Most baking that you will do will occur in a 350 degree oven. That is pretty much standard. I like to use the medium shelf, one shelf up from the bottom. I put it in the center of the oven because if you notice the air can circulate all the way around. It is very important so that your cupcakes can all bake evenly. It is very important to have air space around the entire perimeter of the pan and that way the air flows and the cupcakes can bake evenly. This is important for cupcakes, cakes, anything you are baking. Now we will let those bake from anywhere from 18 to 30 minutes. It will make a difference depending on how hot your oven is. Every oven is different and bakes differently and how much you have filled up your cups. Now we will just test for doneness and see when they are done. That will be our next segment."
