Tips:
- To make sure your cupcakes are perfectly cooked, insert a toothpick into the center of one. If it comes out clean, they're done. If there's still batter attached, bake for a few more minutes.
- Let the cupcakes cool completely before filling and frosting them. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a neater filling, use a piping bag fitted with a small tip.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can fill the cupcakes using a spoon. Just be careful not to overfill them.
- Refrigerate the cupcakes for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the frosting to set.
