Is there a set rule for converting a cake recipe for cupcakes? I know the ingredients will stay the same, but does the baking time change?
I have a yellow cake recipe I want to use for cupcakes from the Wilton site, but they have no suggestions for that.
Thanks!

cupcakes usually bake a bit shorter than regular cakes.I find that 12 cupckaes will bake for about 20 minutes on 350 for me but it depends on your oven.

I bake mine at 325. They seem to bake up more level that way. If I'm making muffins though and I want a nice mound on top, I use a higher temp

Are you using a scratch recipe or cake mix? The mixes will tell you on the back of the box. If it's scratch just use the same recipe and do a few test ones first in your oven.

i bake cupcakes at 320-325 degrees. Not too hot, or they rise in the center a bit too much for me. I like them risen, but flat. Easier to pipe icing swirls onto!

Also, if you use a cookie scoop to fill your cupcake papers, you will be able to be more consistent on how your cupcakes look . . . rise about the same, etc.
