Has anyone had any luck making cupcakes with this that aren't dense, dry, and hard?

I have had the best luck i all my baking using the Namaste Perfect blend GF flour. Even those who eat gluten prefer my baked goods made with it and end up borrowing enough flour to make their favorite recipes. Hope this is helpful fot you.

I made a chocolate cupcake recipe that came out very well. They state on their website that this flour really thickens up when adding liquid, and to add extra moisture when using it. I'd go to their web site and read more about baking with this product- it is helpful. As long as you are not trying for something too delicate, this flour works very well. And yes, I used 3/4 flax flour to 1/4 rice flour. That helps lighten things up a little.

it is thick - if too thick you can always add a little milk or water decorating frosting is pretty bland - just sweet tasting. Unless you have lots of cupcakes this is too much frosting - try the local grocery

Not completely interchangeable in cooking, due to lower melting point. Solid and liquid measure is equivalent, except for the mess factor. Best TIP ever: Line cupcake pan with papers, then pout pre-measured 1/4 c melted oil into each one & freeze. Keep most of the cups in the freezer and transfer some to refrigerator for ready baking. I did this when I got to the end of the Snappy container and it was a total mess trying to scoop it out of the bottom.

Perhaps it can be done if you put the biggest plates nearest the bottom for weight. And only if connected securely and only layering cupcakes which don't have a lot of weight. Can you do a test run before the event to be sure? If too weak, someone is liable to bump the table or rush past the tiers and they will not be steady. The higher you go, the weaker it becomes...

Use regular cake mixes and reduce cooking times to that of mini cupcakes. Coat the pans well otherwise the cakes will stick.

No, if you want to make cupcakes you will have to refill after first pan of 12. To be honest I am sorry I bought it I have used it twice in the year since I bought it. It is hard to clean, you can not use thick batters about the only thing its good for is pancake batter. Even then it's just easier to use a large measuring cup.

I tested mine with granulated sugar. It work with a little less than a cup. Frosting should be the same.

it is not as thick and doesnt taste as good as the butter cream recipe wilton provides. it is easier to spread because of the consistency. you can use it for cupcakes.

Try adjusting the amount of flour....reduce by 1/4 cup max. It could be your oven temperature and/or the amount of time your cake bakes. I doubt very much if is due to the mixer..and possibly an adjustment in the amount f liquid/flour will solve the problem. I assume you are speaking of cakes you make from scratch. If so, try a 'box' cake mix and see if you have the same problem. Interesting dilemma !

I've tried baking with it a couple times without much success. In my opinion it doesn't give the proper sweet for baked goods.

You should probably look elsewhere then. However, you would be hard pressed to find one that would work as well. While you could just simply bake the bottom if the cake and then frost it as you would a cupcake, it would take a mountain of frosting. The cake bottom is about 8 inches or so at the top- the base is about 7- 7.5 inches wide, and the sides are corrugated to look like a cupcake cup. The problem that you will face if you don't intend to use the pan to make a two-layer cake is that overfilling the bottom of the pan with batter will cause it not to bake correctly and you will end up with an unpleasant gooey center. Anyway, i hope this helps in some way, but if you have more questions, please feel free to ask.

I have never tried it in baking, but it has less water content, you would have to play around with the liquids in your cakes and cookies.

I tried it for the first time with a simple baking powder batter and could not fill it with over a cup of batter. I think the yeasted recipe on the package might expand a bit more. I also poured the batter it in the middle, but maybe it makes more sense to try to fill each square individually?

Add a little more flour to your mix !!! I have no problems with mine !! I use a thick batter . Hope this helps

Yes but getting the right consistency in this machine is difficult. Doing small amounts seem to work ok. I get frustrated when making a full batch because I have to keep taking it all apart and adding more flour. It tends to clump up. When I get it right it's really good

I love mine. The thickness really depends on the batter. I made a dry batch and they were thicker and one that was moister & they were thinner. Hopefully this helps. I am so glad that I bought it!

If the filling is very thick, then probably not. If the filling cools quickly or you have to work slowly with it, no. I used it with cupcake batter that wasn't very thick and it took a while for the batter to come out the bottom. Hope this helps.
