Hi there everybody.

I'm hoping someone here can help me. Lately, I've been baking lots of cupcakes and I notice that the cupcakes separate from the liners after I take them out of the oven. Any way to prevent this?

Normally, I don't mind but a coworker asked me to make a bunch for her kids birthday party and I want them to look nice for her. Please advise. Thanks!

I see you are pretty new, so I want to say Welcome!

Re: your question, I have a couple of questions:
Are you spraying your cupcake papers with non-stick spray? If you are, don't!
Are you cooling the cupcakes in the pan? If you are, don't!

Good Luck!

I am having the same issue, but with the mini cupcakes. We do not cool in the pans and we do not spray the liners. Anyone have any suggestions. We have a wedding coming up and the bride has requested mini cupcakes. We want them to stay looking nice.

I leave mines in the pan for about 5 min THEN take them out to cool completely. Could this be it? I''m having thw same prob but usually with chocolate. I bake from scratch.

It happened to me once when I tried a recipe that had a pound of butter in it, I think the culprit maybe that there was too much grease.

I have used the WASC recipe...that only calls for 4 Tlbs of oil. No butter is in the recipe. So...not a lot of grease with the recipe. I'm at a loss. Anyone out there make mini cupcakes and not have this problem?? I want to know which liners you are using!!!

I usually bake the mini's and expected it was a oil/butter issue, so I invested and bought the more expensive (grease proof) liners from Australia.... Unfortunately, the same thing happens with the grease proof liners as well ... It only happens with certain recipes though... I am stumpped?

Good Luck,
Please let me know if you figure it out....

Best of Luck and Have fun baking!

Hi, I have have this problem a few times. What I have found is if I put them in a sealed container (tupperware) too quickly after they come out of the oven the paper will come away. What I do now is after I take them out of the oven, and after they cool in the pan, I then put them on a cooling rack. After 10 mins I put a ckae board, or paper toel lightly on the tops so they don't dry out.
After 2-3 hours I then move them to a sealed container or cake box.

Hope this helps. Let me know if this works for you.

What Adamsgama just said is true. I made a batch the other day and let them cool and placed them in tupper wear. I made some mini and some regular. The regular ones were ok the mini all came away from the wrapper. So definately stay away from tupperwear!

I agree with the above posts. I think it might have something to do with the moisture. I've had trouble too if I stick them in a plastic container before they are completely cool. I usually take them out of the cupcake pan a couple minutes after I take them out of the oven and then let them cool either completely or most of the way on the counter. I use a lot of beer can (or soda or soup) "flats". I don't put them plastic. (WalMart loves to see me coming! After I leave the soup aisle, their shelves are nearly free of empty boxes LOL!) I wrap them in plastic wrap and stick 'em in the freezer. Works well for me.
