Cupcake Liners
While a cupcake has to taste good, I think it actually has to look good too. I'm all about the whole kit-and-caboodle! And I like things to look pretty. Sooo...that set me off on a quest to find pretty cupcake liners.

First I tried Loblaws, and then the Bulk Barn, and then Michael's, The Great Glebe Emporium, J.D. Adam and every other baking, cooking or supplies store I could think of. All I could find were the plain ol' white cups, silver and gold cups, ugly pastel cups, and cheesy 'themed' cups. Nothing fun or different...not even just plain colours.

I've seen many pictures of cupcakes with dark brown liners and I thought that they were the most beautiful and elegant things and I really wanted some of my own. So, after A LOT of googling and researching online, I finally found a great CANADIAN site that sells a whole array of pretty cupcake liners as well as cupcake and baking supplies.

I got a little over-whelmed and wanted to buy ALL the different liners, but I whittled it down to about 8 different kinds (which is still A LOT!...I'm very indecisive!). I placed my order and sat patiently waiting for them to arrive....

Finally, earlier this week THEY ARRIVED!

I opened up the box and there they were all nestled in a lovely bed of pink tissue paper...my new cupcake liners! It was an exciting day! :) Who knew someone could get so excited about PAPER! (I just checked the website today and there are a whole bunch of NEW liners. OMG...I might need to place another order...yikes!




I definitely think these liners will add that perfect finishing touch to all of my cupcakes and I'm excited to start baking with them!!

Measuring A Cupcake Liner

 

This is a simple diagram to help you when ordering our cupcake liners.

Coming Soon ...

Houndstooth, Polka Dots, High tea and Tulip Cups! We are so excited ... here is a wee peek at what is new this March!!



Our High Tea is simply gorgeous although pink or blue was a tough decision. We went with blue to match our tea cosies and will bring in pink to match our High Teastess cups! For now the blue!

What can go in a Houndstooth Liner? We are sooo curious to see what will come of these.


These will all be available in March at Sweet Cuppin Cakes Bakery and Cupcakery Supplies.

Butter Lane Chocolate Cupcakes

Ingredients

Makes 40 cupcakes

* 2 3/4 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
* 1 teaspoon baking soda
* 1 teaspoon baking powder
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 2 1/2 cups sugar
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
* 6 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted and cooled to room temperature
* 4 extra-large eggs
* 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 1 cup sour cream
* Vanilla French Buttercream (see below)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 40 standard muffin cups with cupcake liners and set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add chocolate and beat on medium speed until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add sour cream and vanilla and mix until well combined, 1 to 2 minutes.
4. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in three parts, alternating with 1 cup water and beginning and ending with flour; beat until just combined, 1 to 3 minutes.
5. Fill prepared muffin cups three-quarters full with batter. Transfer to oven and bake for 10 minutes. Rotate muffin pans and continue baking until a cake tester inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, about 10 minutes more. Let cool completely before frosting.

Vanilla French Buttercream

Ingredients

Makes about 1 quart

* 7 extra-large egg whites
* 2 1/2 cups sugar
* 2 teaspoons cream of tartar
* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces and chilled
* 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
* 2 vanilla beans, halved lengthwise

Directions

1. In a large heatproof bowl set over (but not touching) simmering water, whisk together egg whites and sugar until sugar is melted and mixture reaches 140 degrees on a candy thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes.
2. Transfer mixture to the bowl of an electric mixture fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on high until stiff peaks form, 12 to 15 minutes. Add cream of tartar and beat for one minute more.
3. Reduce speed to medium and add butter, a few pieces at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and scrape vanilla bean seeds into mixture; beat until well combined, about 2 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator; chill for 15 minutes before using.
