O M G -- What am I going to do??? The cupcake papers have come off the better
texture/tasting lemon cupcakes! This
CAN'T happen with wedding cupcakes!

| Wonderful lemon cupcakes - horrifying cupcake wrappers! |
This is the
absolutely FIRST TIME EVER that this has happened. With decades of cupcake baking under my
proverbial belt, how could this possibly have happened NOW? The liners were the ones I used with the
Easter cupcakes and there was no problem at all! In fact, I remember thinking that the batter
on this particular recipe acted similarly to the white wedding cake recipe I
used for the Easter cupcakes and I thought it must have something to do with
only using egg whites.
There were signs
that this was happening, but since I'd never seen it before I didn't recognize
it. Not that there would have been
anything I could do about it but ...
Now I've searched on
the internet for the cause of this TRAGEDY and found no definitive answer! It's
comforting that I'm not the only one to
have this problem -- but that doesn't help AT ALL.
The best remedy I
found was in Sunday Belle http://www.sundaybelle.com/making-the-cupcake-liner-stick-to-the-cupcake/ (Strangely enough, I found a kindred soul
in this blog - mixing fashion and baking!)
Now I'm going to make the cupcake recipe that caused the
peeling a couple more times and see if her suggestions help. If not, I've got to use a different batter or
figure out some way around the peeling paper dilemma.
Oh, and as I'm
wailing over this mysterious tragedy, hubby says the Easter cupcakes had
started peeling when he took them to work, but he just thought it was because
they were in a plastic container.
