To line, or not to line...we found out.

Marcie and I like to wonder about things, we also like to rebel. So one day we found ourselves pondering why we had to use a cupcake liner when baking cupcakes. We figured they would come out basically the same, maybe a little yummier. But in reality, they baked almost completely differently.

For starters, we noticed that when we baked a cupcake without a liner, the form of the cupcake was different in two ways. It created a crusty edge on the top of the cupcake and there were visible air bubbles. The shape of the cupcake was also different, when you bake in a liner the cupcake comes out perfectly placed. It will fill out the liner. Without a liner though, and you're taking your chances on the shape. Some of ours came out close to similar in shape while others couldn't stand up straight.
 
So our next experiment? We want to try baking our cupcakes in some bright colored parchment paper kind of like these cuites here --------------->

We found these cupcakes at Natalie Blake's blog. (click here to check it out). 


Happy Baking!
