“Whoops-I added too much baking powder to the cupcake mix, Kate!” I confessed to my sister as I stared into the mixing bowl. “I’m sure it’s fine,” Kate said hopefully. I slid the cupcake pan into the oven, set the timer, and sat down. “Beep!” the timer buzzed from the kitchen. I bolted up from the couch, rushed over to the oven with my mitt on, and pulled the pan out from the oven. “Uhh... Kate? This is NOT fine,” I said as I showed her the cupcakes (or should I say GINORMOUS cupcakes?). “Oh, I suppose these are the result of adding too much baking powder!” she laughed.

In 2009, the world record for biggest cupcake was broken. This cupcake was 1,224 pounds! That’s heavier than a male polar bear! In length, it measured 4 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Can you guess how many calories this bad boy had? Over 2 million! YIKES! To celebrate National Cupcake Week, the world’s smallest cupcake was made. This little nugget was only 1.5 centimeters tall and 3 centimeters wide! This cupcake was about the size of a small seahorse. No matter the size of a cupcake, most people can’t resist the temptation to have a cupcake every now and then!
Did you know that giraffes are the tallest animals in the world? They are unique in other ways, too. For one thing, they sleep only about 20 minutes each day, and usually not more than five minutes at a time. (They have to remain alert for predators.) Also, every giraffe’s coat is unique, and varies in color from white to nearly black, depending on what they eat and where they live.

Have you ever tried to eat a cupcake and while peeling the liner off, much of the cupcake gets peeled off with it? As a cupcake pro, the biggest tip I can offer to avoid this cupcake catastrophe is to remove the cupcakes from the tin as soon as they come out of the oven. Sometimes if they are left in the tin, steam builds up from the hot cupcakes and the moisture can may make the liners pull away. If that doesn’t work, try a a different type of cupcake liner-like a greaseproof kind. These tips will ensure that you get to savor every last bite of your yummy cupcake!
Problem and Solution
Hurricanes are large, intense storms that begin over the ocean, where they gather heat and energy from the water. Hurricanes move slowly toward land, usually moving 10-20 miles per hour for more than one week. The most dangerous part of the hurricane is the storm surge, when it reaches land and causes flooding. Wind and waves also contribute to the damage caused by these surges.

“Hello to all you bakers out there! Thank you for tuning into today’s segment of “Baking with Love”! Today’s topic deals with frosting the perfect cupcake. Put your apron on, wash your hands, and get ready to ‘get your bake on!’ First, fill the pastry bag with the icing of your choice. Next, point the tip of the pastry bag on the outer edge of the cupcake. Then, squeeze the pastry bag while holding one hand near the tip and the other hand on top of the pastry bag, holding tightly. While doing so, move the bag in a circular motion, working your way to the center of the cupcake. Voila-your cupcake should look like a pro! Tune in next week.”

Dear Betsy-I’m having a birthday party for my son next month-and I wanted to know the scoop-cake pops or cupcakes? Love, Freda Dear Freda-A cake pop is more like a cake ball which is an shaped like a chocolate truffle-being an individual portion of cake. These cake pops are formed from crumbled cake AND frosting, unlike the cupcake that is baked as a sphere. These are the new trend in the dessert world. On the other hand, cupcakes are classic, and you have more space to work with when it comes to decorating! -Betsy
