Buy Cupcake Pans
Cupcakes are virtually a ubiquitous presence across the country. No self-respecting bakeshop would want to be caught without at least a few samples on display in its cabinets. The first cupcakes appeared sometime in the 19th century and have since captured the fancy of many a cake eater. This is not only because of their great taste but also because, like the full-sized cakes, they came draped with eye-catching decorations.
As there we no cupcake pans at that time, these were baked using heavy pottery cups. Indeed, even today, some bakers still use ramekins and small coffee mugs when baking cupcakes. Most, however, use pans made of metal and which may or may not be of the non-stick type. Generally, these have six or 12 cups measuring 3″ in diameter and 1½” in depth. There may, of course, be variations in these sizes and some may even have specialized shapes.
Cupcake liners are usually used when baking with a pan. These not only facilitate removing the cupcake from the pan when cooked, but also serve as a cake holder when passed from one person to the next.
There are plenty of suppliers from whom you can buy cupcake pans. These could be from online stores or a neighboring bakeshop equipment supplier. Once you have purchased your own pans, you are on your way to creating delicious cupcakes with striking decorations.
