Why do papers come off

How do you get the papers to stay attached to the cupcake? Haven't baked many cupcakes they come out fine and the next day the papers are coming off. I do take them out of the pan as soon as they come out of the oven, am I doing something wrong? I know you can add icing to make them stick again but is there away to prevent it in the first place???
Thanks

I take my out of the pan as soon as they come out of the oven and never have a problem--are you by chance spraying them with non-stick spray? I spray mine very lightly when baking muffins but never ever for cupcakes. HTH

I noticed that I have been having the same problems. I hope someone can answer this.

I have the same problem! I don't spray my pan, and I take them out of the pan after baking, promptly...So far, thank goodness for those cute decorative "sleeves" for cupcakes...but I wish I could just leave them plain sometimes, with just the wrapper.

do you cover them before they have completely cooled. I did that once and all the wrappers came off.

I've had this happen to me as well. I really think is a moisture problem. I have noticed it has gotten better now that i remove them from the pan immediately, but I find that on very humid days it still can happen. It also happens really bad when I store my cupcakes in tupperware. So I usually try to store in cake box and I don't bake them more than 1 day in advance. That has helped me.

I think the liner separating is due to heat/moisture.

It's definitely moisture. I stored identical cupcakes in different types of containers. The ones in plastic containers - not even sealed airtight - tended to shed their papers. Both freshly baked and previously frozen.

The ones stored in cardboard boxes didn't shed a single paper.

I make tons of cupcakes and I only had this happen once. I think it is the paper itself. Whenever I use the cutesy, inexpensive wrappers they peel off. When I use Reynolds wrappers or the uber expensive ones like from Williams-Sonoma they don't peel. (Hey we wanted to make pirate cupcakes, what can I say!)

So now I use Reynolds. I also noticed on some of the "cheap" or themed liners that they have a inky waxy smell when I opened the package. I still have not gotten up the nerve to use them because I don't want it to leach into my cupcakes. Plus will the smell fill up my house as they are baking - I don't know.

But if your papers are peeling, and depending on the design the could have some wax on them that will prevent them from sticking for too long. I just say this because of the waxy smell I noticed on some of the liners I have bought.

This question has come up several times here on the cupcake forum too. I believe every time it comes up the same answers are given. You might want to check those posts also to see if something will work for you.

hobby lobby now sells stiffer cupcake papers, they are not in the baking aisle but on one of the displays in front of the registers. they are quite expensive 3.79 or something like that for 32, but it says you dont need a muffin pan to bake in. These may be good for bouquets too.

I started getting into cupcakes and noticed my liners seperate from the cupcakes too. I used Reynolds so it must be mositure. I took them out of the pans after 5 minutes of cooling. I'm making 150 cupcakes for my daughter's birthday. I hope there is a solution. I bought these cute liners from Wilton. Hopefully I have better success with those.

I have done a lot of searching on the web on this subject and couldnt find any solutions at all. I do not spray my pans/liners at all, I do take them out of the pans as soon as they come out of the oven and I did store them in a cae box after they were completey cooled. Im not sure of the brand of papers I used I got them on line. Maybe I will try another brand. Moisture sounds logical it was a warm day, the papers did stay on all day and fell over night, only on about half though.

I've been having this problem too. I just baked cupcakes on Tuesday using the white Reynolds liners and the papers peeled off of most of the cupcakes. I wish I knew the solution.

I rarely have the problem with the liners peeling off. I take the cupcakes out of the pan as soon as they come out of the oven and I let them cool on a cooling rack with space between the cupcakes so the heat is not trapped between the cupcakes. I try to ice them within an hour of cooling and never put them in an airtight container.

i've noticed this happened when i spray the liner with non-stick spray....and not heavily by any means....i do a very light spray. so i eliminated that and haven't had the problem since. HTH!
