How to Make Cupcakes

As most of you know, I enjoy the fine art of baking. Now, I know I am not a pro, but I do have some skill in this area. So today I will teach you how to make cupcakes. Many people believe that the most important part of making cupcakes - or any type of food for that matter - is having the best ingredients possible. And while I do agree that high quality ingredients make a difference, I have found through much trial and error that the most important aspect of baking or cooking is to follow the directions exactly as they are written. Also, do not read the directions as you are going along. This will most likely lead to mistakes. You should always read the directions and gather your needed ingredients and utensils before starting. This will cut down on the time that you spend running around and looking for things that you can not find.
