- Do not overmix the batter to prevent dense cupcakes.
- Fill cupcake liners only ⅔ full to allow for proper rising.
- To achieve a golden-brown exterior, ensure the oven temperature is accurate.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to check for doneness; it should come out clean when inserted into the center of a cupcake.
- Let cupcakes cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and powdered sweetener until light and fluffy before adding additional ingredients.
- To create a beautiful swirl effect, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
