Why I don't bake

[Deleted]

I love to cook but hate to bake. I smelled burning and came to this.

I used a knife to cut off the overflow and it actually tastes good. They are just so ugly. I wanted pretty cupcakes for my girls night in with teeah22 and jolita.

I'm a chronic over-filler also, so I feel your pain. Next time remind yourself over and over to just go 2/3 full. I just always have a bit left over and I'm like, "Surely this will fit! The cupcakes will be perfectly round and pretty if I put just a little bit more in there!"

This is totally what I thought, envisioning big, fluffy, round tops.

Ha! Oh, hun. Well, I'd still eat it.

Next time use an ice cream scooper and fill 2/3 - 3/4 full. Makes perfect portioned cupcakes every time!

Oh and eat the left over batter with a spoon.

Yep! The ice cream scoop is practically fool proof. And it's so much easier than spooning it in!

This batter was really runny. The recipe has you stir in 1 cup of boiling water at the very end, so it was a pretty thin liquid and had to be poured.

Aw
I'm the opposite. I can bake anything and love it. But I cannot for the life of me cook eggs, grilled cheese or pancakes without burning them!
