TOP TIPS FOR MAKING CUPCAKES
Use paper cases that fit the cake tins snugly, or they'll either spread too much or wrinkle up. Annoyingly, sizes aren't standardised, so measure your tin's cup size before buying cases.Use butter and eggs at room temperature for lighter cakes.
Don't get any mixture on the edges of the cupcake case: it will burn and may stop the cake rising evenly.
Turn the tin round after 12 minutes or so if your oven has hot spots.
If all else fails, buy ready-made and ice them yourself. (Best cheat: ready-made cupcakes that are not filled too high look most homemade when flooded with fondant icing - try Asda's cakes with Tate & Lyle fondant icing mix.)
