How do you know when cupcakes are done baking in the oven?
The easiest way to tell that your cupcakes are done baking is to do the toothpick test with them! Grab a clean toothpick and after they’d back in the oven for the time listed on the directions below, put the toothpick in the middle of the cupcake. If it comes out clean, the cupcakes are done and ready. But if there is still batter on the toothpick, you need to cook it for longer.
What can I use as a topping if I don’t want to frost?
These cupcakes are even good without frosting but if you don’t want frosting on top, you can use powdered sugar as well. Even a few fresh berries or a bit of honey would be a sweet treat, too!
Tips for making these Cream Soda Cupcakes
This cupcake recipe isn’t hard but there are a few things to keep in mind.
Don’t try to frost the cupcakes at all until they’ve cooled. If you do it too early, the frosting will literally melt off the cupcakes and fall off.
Once you put the frosting onto the cupcake, use a butter knife to smooth it out. This is a simple way to keep the buttercream frosting level across the entire cupcake.
If you have cupcakes leftover, you need to add them to a container with a lid and keep the air out as much as possible. The air is what is going to dry them out and no one likes the flavor of dry cupcakes.
