[NFB-InTheKitchen] NFB-InTheKitchen Digest, Vol 22, Issue 2

Sun Dec 17 05:16:03 UTC 2023

Hello Madison,

I usually put the liners in the cupcake tin first. Once all of the liners
are in the tin, I then use a spoon to scoop out the cupcake batter and put
it in the liners. That way, the cupcake tin will keep the liners from
closing.
