- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in dense, tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined. - Use fresh spices. Freshly ground spices will give your cupcakes the best flavor. - Don't overbake the cupcakes. Overbaked cupcakes will be dry and crumbly. Bake just until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. - Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly. - Make sure the cream cheese frosting is cold before frosting the cupcakes.
