On these videos, famous chefs talk about the secrets of creating the perfect cupcakes and show everything with a visual example.

Cupcakes in paper tins are simple pastries for tea. Recipes for muffins in tins, unlike cupcakes, can be both dessert (muffins with blueberries, banana, cocoa) and not sweet (English muffins, cheese, corn flour).
Paper molds greatly facilitate the process of making muffins: they do not need to be oiled, and the finished muffins are smooth and rounded. If the paper molds are very thin, it is better to put them inside a metal mold on several cupcakes, and if they are thick enough, then the muffins can be baked separately. Small mini muffins in paper tins are baked in tins with a diameter of about 3 cm.
The dough for muffins in paper tins is prepared in a standard way, like any other similar, the ingredients are mixed in a specific order. Loose products are mixed separately from liquid ones, and only before baking, both components are combined into a dough.
After combining the liquid and dry parts, the products should be mixed quickly, but carefully so that excess does not form in the dough (the more gluten, the less soft and airy the muffins will be). If there are lumps left, it's okay, especially since the dough will have to be additionally mixed after adding fruits, nuts or chocolate before baking muffins in tins.
DoughVed advises... This method of making muffins or muffins in tins requires that the liquid component is added to the dry one, that is, to flour and sugar, and in no case not vice versa.
Paper molds for muffins are convenient in that there is no need to grease the paper with butter or vegetable oil before baking, unlike metal or when using silicone for the first time.
Whichever recipe you choose, paper molds separate perfectly from finished muffins without having to grease them first. The only thing to consider is that if the paper in the molds is too thin, it will be more convenient to insert them into metal ones before baking.

Ingredients
Preparation
In a simple muffin dough in tins (recipe above), you can add from one to one and a half glasses of all kinds of additives for every taste.

Today I will share very simple and delicious cupcakes. Bake vanilla and chocolate muffins. If you make them with a cream, for example, sour cream, then they turn out to be very delicate. This is a very simple recipe, the dough is made in literally ten minutes. It always seemed to me that these were ordinary cupcakes, nothing special, but a couple of times people told me, said that these are the most delicious cupcakes that they have tried in life. In general, I use them as a basic recipe, you can add chocolate, berries, etc. Depending on the cream, the taste also changes, of course.
By the way, I recently received a question about how to bake muffins in paper tins. A friend's molds opened and the dough flowed out. This seems to be a simple thing, but not all beginners know. These are the following forms:
If you have such capsules, then they must be inserted into more rigid forms, for example, in a special cupcake baking dish, or in silicone molds. Or - a budget option - supermarkets sell foil molds for cupcakes, paper can also be inserted into them and baked.
But there are also paper molds in which you can bake - they are with a stiffener on top. Also a completely common thing, sold in any confectionery store, maybe in other places. Like these ones.
Everything, with the digressions over, let's move on, finally, to the recipe!
150 gr butter
125 grams of sugar
150 gr flour
1 tsp baking powder,
vanillin li 1 tsp vanilla sugar
a pinch of salt,
5 tbsp. l. water
If you want chocolate muffins, then 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa.
2. Add 2 eggs one at a time, beat.
3. Add 1 tsp. baking powder, a pinch of salt, vanillin on the tip of a knife, or 1 tsp. vanilla sugar, sift 150 grams of flour. Beat.
4. Add 5 tablespoons of cold boiled water. Beat.
5. I decided to make half of the muffins vanilla and half chocolate. Therefore, when the dough was ready, I transferred half to another container. And added 2 tablespoons of cocoa to it.
6. Put the dough into molds, filling them two-thirds full. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 30 minutes. Check for readiness with a skewer - if it is dry, then the cupcakes are ready!
7. Now watch my detailed video on how to make Swedish muffins:
9. Then, using a pastry bag or an ordinary spoon, you can fill them with cream. I just have boiled condensed milk.
10. Also lightly brush the surface of the cake with cream.
11. Decorate as desired.
First, remove the margarine from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. You can substitute butter for margarine for a more delicate flavor. Rinse the raisins under running water, put them in a bowl and pour boiling water over them. Wait for the raisins to swell.
Place a piece of margarine in a bowl and add a glass of sugar to it. Grind the mass thoroughly. Then, one at a time, beat the raw chicken eggs into the butter and sugar and stir with a whisk.
Sift the premium flour through a sieve to saturate it with oxygen and get rid of lumps. Then add the flour to the bowl with the rest of the ingredients. Quench the baking soda with vinegar and pour the mixture into a bowl. You can use baking powder instead of baking soda. Throw in a pinch of salt. Drain the raisins, squeeze them out and add to a bowl. Mix the ingredients thoroughly. Turn on the oven and preheat to one hundred and sixty degrees.
Take the muffin tins. It is best to use silicone. Metallic ones must first be greased with vegetable oil so that the dough does not stick to them. Fill the baking tins two-thirds full, as the cupcakes will rise and grow in size during the baking process.
Place the baking tins in the oven and bake the muffins for forty minutes. Then remove the finished dish from the oven, cool, free from the molds and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Serve with tea or coffee.
Cakes interspersed with dried fruits, berries, nuts, pieces of fresh fruit, candied fruits, marmalade have become popular for a long time. They are served to the table as a dessert: either for tea, or accompanied by sweet sauces and syrups. We have already talked about the recipes ... Now - cupcakes!

Jewelry options:
Classic - cover the cake with marzipan. Sprinkle the table with powdered sugar and roll out the marzipan. With slightly wet hands, remove all unnecessary irregularities and a convex top. Slightly moisten marzipan with water and apply decorations.
We make jewelry from colored or white marzipan. Cut out the herringbone from green candied peels. Sprinkle the top with multi-colored sprinkles. We wrap it with beautiful paper and tie it with braid.
Garnish the muffins with chocolate cream
We will need:
5 tablespoons of sour cream, at least 20% fat
4 tablespoons of cocoa (you can melt 30 grams of chocolate)
4 tablespoons of sugar
1 spoonful of butter
In a container, mix all the ingredients at once and bring to a boil; immediately remove from heat as the first bubbles appear. Then cool. Then put the cream on the muffins using a pastry bag or just with a spoon, you can put sprinkles, ground nuts or colored sweets on the cream.
Sugar Fudge Cupcake Decorating
To make fondant sugar, mix 200 grams of powdered sugar with three tablespoons of boiling water, and then add 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, stir everything until a homogeneous sparkling mass is formed and immediately cover the muffins with fondant. You can also garnish the cupcakes with sprinkles or sweets.
Decorating cupcakes with mastic and figurines from it
Cooked mastic is a very malleable material in order to create various figures out of it. It is very easy to make mastic.
We need:
90-100 grams of marshmallows (one pack of marshmallows)
1 spoonful of lemon juice or water
1-1.5 cups powdered sugar
Add a tablespoon of lemon juice or water to marshmallows of the same color and heat in a microwave oven (10-20 seconds) or in a water bath until increased in volume. If you want to tint the mastic with food coloring, then it is better to add it after you remove the swollen and melted marshmallows from the microwave. At this point, you need to add the dye and mix well with a spoon.
Then add sifted icing sugar in portions and stir with a spoon or spatula.
When it becomes difficult to stir with a spoon, put the mixture on a table sprinkled with powdered sugar and continue kneading with your hands until the mastic stops sticking to your hands.
The resulting mastic must be wrapped in cling film or a thin plastic bag (so that the film fits snugly on all sides to the mastic and air does not get inside the bag) and put in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
You can make various figures from the finished mastic.

Dried fruit patterns
We take apricot jam, heat it up and wipe it so that it is liquid and without lumps.
Apply the jam in a thick layer to the cake. On top we lay out wonderful patterns from colored dried fruits, nuts, dark and light raisins. Cover the finished pattern with a layer of liquid jam, when it hardens, the surface becomes smooth and shiny.
Glaze
We cover the surface with protein glaze: beat 1 protein, add 60 grams of powdered sugar, beat again and add another 60 grams of powdered sugar. While it is not frozen, apply to the cupcake and decorate.
