How to Remove Cupcakes From the Pan

By Kittie McCoy, eHow Contributor

Remove your cupcakes from the pan without destroying them.

Baking a batch of cupcakes only to have them stuck firmly inside in the baking pan is frustrating whether you used a box of cake mix or took the time to prepare a recipe from scratch. While preparing the pan before starting to bake is a crucial step to ensure that you can remove your baked treats in one piece, you can also make removing your cupcakes easier after baking.

Run a butter knife gently around the edge of each cupcake to loosen it from the pan.

4
Place a towel on top of the cupcake pan so that it covers all of the cupcakes and flip the pan upside down while holding the ends of the towel tightly against the ends of the pan. As the cupcakes fall out of the pan, the towel will catch them so they don't fall onto your counter or table and break into pieces.

5
Cool the cupcakes on the wire rack completely before you begin decorating them.

3
Add 1 tsp. of your chosen flavoring and your food coloring, if so desired, once it is all powdered sugar is moist and incorporated into the shortening.

4
Beat the frosting on a very high speed for four or five minutes until it is very fluffy.

Change the consistency based on how you will use the frosting. For frosting the cake, you will want a thinner consistency, so add a 1/4 cup of water and then a tablespoon of water at a time, until it falls from the beater. For making roses or other shaped candies for decorating, leave it thicker, but thin enough that you can press it through a frosting bag.

Tips & Warnings

Practice with different icing consistencies. Frosting the cake and writing takes thinner icing. Things that need to stand up, roses, grass, and other flowers, need thick consistency. Stars, and leaves that will lay flat need a medium consistency. Especially, practice writing. Don't make the frosting too thin or it will be a glaze. If the icing pulls at the cake while you are frosting it, the icing is too thick. If the icing flow keeps breaking while you write, the icing is too thick. If your roses wilt, the icing is too thin.
