It's possible to bake cupcakes if you don't have a cupcake tray.If you have cupcake liners, you just need to stack them on top of each other and place them in a regular baking tray.If you don't have liners, you can make your own with square pieces of paper and a cup.
Step 1: Cupcake liners can be used to create a stable structure.
If you are using paper liners, you will need at least 2 or 3 stacked on top of one another so that they are able to stand on their own.The foil liners are very strong and are the best choice.It is likely that you will not need to double or triple foil liners.
Step 2: The liners should be placed on the tray.
Place the liners on the tray so that they sit close together.They will get more support from this.If the tray has a lip, you won't have a lot of mess to clean up if the cupcakes spill.
Step 3: Do not over-fill the liners.
Step 4: The mason jar lids should be set with liners.
You can use the metal rings if you want to be extra careful.Place a cupcake liner in the center of each ring after Line the rings up along the baking tray.
Step 5: The cupcake mix should be filled in the liners.
Once your liners are set, mix up your cupcake mix according to the instructions.Just as you would in a regular cupcake pan, fill each liner with 23 or 34 of the way to the top.
Step 6: Don't over-fill the cupcake liners, as this will weaken the liner's ability to sit and can result in tip-overs.
Step 7: If you want to bake for the recommended amount of time, put the tray in the oven.
After all the liners have been filled, place the tray in the oven.To avoid spilling the cupcake batter, put the tray in the oven slowly.Follow the recipe to bake cupcakes.
Step 8: The baking temperature given in the recipe should not be affected by not using a metal cupcake tray.
You can set a timer to help you bake cupcakes in a timely manner.
Step 9: cupcake liners can be made out of stiff, oven-safe material.
You can make your own cupcake liners if you don't have a cupcake pan.You need to double or triple the homemade liners so that they can stand up in the pan.Parchment paper is the best material, but you can use aluminum foil.The cupcake liners will be more stable if the paper is stiff.
Step 10: Cut the paper into 6 squares.
Measure out the squares with a ruler after removing a stretch of paper.To cut out a square, use scissors.You'll be doubling or tripling the liners for each cupcake, so cut out enough squares for this to happen.There are usually 12 cupcakes in the normal-sized cupcake pans.
Step 11: You can find a cup with a base the same size as a cupcake liner.
Try to find a glass or cup with a bottom similar to a cupcake liner, as the size doesn't need to be exact.The bottom of regular-sized cupcake liners is roughly 2 inches.
Step 12: The bottom of the cup should be covered by the paper.
Put a piece of paper over the bottom of the cup.Align the paper so that the corners are the same height.
Step 13: To make 4 folds, press the paper over the cup.
You can make a mold of the cup by folding the paper in between the corners.When you are done, you should have at least 4 clean folds.Try to press the folds as close to the cup as possible.
Step 14: Along the entire edge of the liner, run your fingers.
Keep the liner on top of the cup after folding it.Press your fingers along the edge to form a base.Your liner is done.
Step 15: Put your liners in the pan by removing the liner from the cup.
If they were store-bought liners, place them on a baking tray.They need to be placed close together to get additional support.
Step 16: The homemade liners can be doubled or tripled to make them stronger.
Extra help to support the weight of the batter is what most materials need.If you double or triple line your cupcake liners, they won't spill.
