Some bakers recommend cutting holes into the bottom of an aluminum foil baking tin, turning the tin upside down, and sticking the cones into the holes. Use ice cream cones that have a flat bottom as opposed to the ones that are cone-shaped; they will stand up better.

If the flour is lumpy, sift is before mixing with other ingredients.

You can use an electric stand mixer, a handheld better, or even a food processor to do this.

You can do this step with a rubber spatula or using the medium-low speed setting on your beater. Avoid overmixing your batter, stopping once everything is combined; otherwise, your as cupcakes could taste eggy and dense.

Alternatively, you could fit a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped decorator’s tip with the frosting, and pipe the frosting onto the cupcake. Start the from the outer edge, and squeeze the bag harder as you reach the center. [9] X Research source
