[NFB-InTheKitchen] getting batter into cupcake/muffin liners

[Ginger Kutsch]

Hi Madison,

The best way that works for me is to hold the cupcake liner in the palm of
my hand and sort of curl my hand/fingers around it. Then I just use a small
scoop to get the batter in it. I have to fill the scoop 1.5 - 2 times to get
enough batter in the liner but the smaller size scoop allows me a little
more room when emptying the batter into the middle of the liner. Then I
carefully move my hand to an empty slot in the muffin tin and sort of
slide/drop it in. Sometimes I have to tug on the upper edge of the liner a
bit to straighten it out once it's sitting in the tin.

Hope this helps,

Ginger

Hi all,

Do any of you have any tips/suggestions for doing this without making a
mess? I've been working on independent living skills and yesterday the
teacher wanted to teach me how to ice cupcakes (we didn't get to do that
because I was late and they weren't cool enough by the time our time was up)
but anyway the part I struggled with the most was getting the batter into
the liners as they were the paper ones and they're so flimsy that they kept
closing. I tried using an ice cream scoop and then a measuring cup but I
didn't find either worked very well as it took forever to get each liner
full enough and I ended up being rather messy which I hated so I'm really
hoping that list members will have ideas that'll make the process go quicker
and be less messy if she wants me to actually work on icing again or if I
ever get brave enough to try it on my own someday when I'm living alone. I
look forward to reading any tips that anyone has!! Thanks

Madison
