Hi ladies (and maybe some gentlemen, too!)
I'm not a professional baker and just make cupcakes for fun, friends and family. I've found a lot of great tips on here but this is my first time posting a question.
I use cake mix a lot of times but always doctor it up with 3 eggs, a stick of unsalted butter and 1 c. water. My problem is that with some cake mixes (I always used Betty Crocker), I will get 24 cupcakes and sometimes I only get 22-23. I realize they are different flavors, but this creates a problem for me when I promise I'll bring 2 dozen. I always use the same scoop so I know I'm measuring the same amount - and I always use identical tins so I'm fairly certain I'm not measuring wrong.
Any ideas or suggestions on how I can be assured I will get 24 cupcakes from a mix?
Help and thanks in advance!!
Really, most likely the problem lies w/the flavor of the cupcakes you are using. Yes, each flavor yields different amounts of batter. Also, the 'new' smaller size mixes don't produce as many cuppies :(
If you want to be sure to have enough, try using my *original* WASC mix. http://www.cakecentral.com/t/584319/the-original-wasc-cake-recipe. You should get at least 30 cuppies from each batch :)
when i started doing cupcakes i did a box mix doctored up with oil and sour cream it worked to make the cupcakes moist and i was getting 24 out of them. then they cut on the box size and swore you could still get the same ammount bs so i started using an off brand cake mix that would give me 24 i used aldi brand and then price rite brand and the results were great but now i make my own batters from scratch and i find they turn out better and the taste is 100% better.
