Cupcake Liners Pulling Away After Cooling
Baking By cathymorin Updated 10 Apr 2011 , 11:53pm by CupQuequito
I was wondering how to prevent cupcake liners from pulling away from the cupcake after cooling. This makes for very sloppy presentation and I'm getting very frustrated.
How do you handle your cupcakes?
I stopped having this problem when I immediately remove the cupcakes from the pans after they come out of the oven, AND I don't store them in an airtight container (tupperware).
I am assuming you are making a scratch recipe, NOT from a box?
Some here will tell you it's the liners. Some will tell you it's how you take them out of the oven. Some will say it's how you store them. I firmly believe it's the recipe you are using. Not all recipes can convert to cupcakes, especially scratch butter cakes.
I did a blog post about this, complete with how to attempt to modify your recipe.

Since I modified my butter cake recipes I have 100% success no matter what wrapper I put them in, how long I leave them in the pan, or what type of container I store them in.
Good luck,

dont let them cool at all in the pans, when you take them out, immediately put them on a cooling rack. and DO NOT COVER them. that locks in the moisture and makes them sweat.
Okay going to try taking them out straight away to avoid the issue - but the cupcakes tend to be kind of delicate when they first come out of the oven - any tips on getting them out without destroying them?
This happened to me, just last week. I was making gluten free cupcakes. The oil wasn't getting absorbed like my cups with AP flour.
I say, check your oil or butter ratio.
Just my opinion.
