hi Louise
Thanks for this Great Site!! i Love all the tutorials As i am a hobby baker but would like to dry my Hand at cake decorating.
I have the Same qu As Seyi about how to increase the Vanille cupcake recipe so that i can get 12 cupcakes and not 8. Does 1just double the recipe?
also i have a cupcake recipe that i always use (very similar to the Vanille cupcake recipe) i should Be able to use my recipe and Mix it the E&S way do you think?

I also noticed that you said you Mix in the flour with the mixer, if you fold in the flour by hand does this not give the mixture a fluffier texture?

Whilst typing this MSG my 1st try of the Dome cupcakes were in the oven and they just turned out beauitful dispite a couple with small bubble breaks.
Thanks again for the E&S method.

I used this for my mushroomcc’s and it really added to the visual effect! Thanks so much for your tip.

Here in Belgium the baking fenomenon is just getting started, so there isn’t a lot of information available yet.

Hi Louise, I found your website yesterday and love it! I tried these domed cupcakes today..with not much success! They were VERY domed and wonky…and not smooth like yours – they had quite a stodgy texture…Im not sure what I did wrong..but like you say, practice makes perfect! Looby xx

Hi again,
you said you use BC method for your regular CC. So are the domed cupcakes only good for poured fondant, while flat CC are good for swirls, plagues with toppers, etc or can you pipe swirls on domed CC
look forward to your response

Hi Louise, I love your website. I want to use the joy of baking vanilla website and also want to use the high wall muffin cases.
How do I get 12 cupcakes as the batter will not be enough?
Do I have to scientifically add on more butter, sugar and flour in the right ratios,
thanks look forward to your answer.

for the pretty pink cupcakes with the rose on top, did you use rolled fondant or poured to dip the cupcake into?

Pankake: Thsi happens to me aswell and I would say that it is the oven that is the problem. When I bake sometime all comes out great and sometimes some comes out like you describe. You can try to bake a lower temp. I only bake my CC at 170C & no fan.

Hi There,

Thank you so much for sharing this tip with us. I did it and my cupcakes had a gorgeous dome. The only problem I had was that that it didn’t dome in the centre but slanted to one side of the cupcake (so it was off centre). Have you come across this before? Or would you know what I did wrong and how I can correct it?

Thanks again for all your wonderful tips.
