It seems no matter what cake I make.. the liners don't like to stay on the cupcakes after they are cooled. I have made a white chocolate cake, the WBH white butter cake, the WBH chocolate butter cake and everytime.. the liners start to peel off the edges of the cupcakes. It looks so unprofessional. Is it because I am making a butter cake? I have made them with mixes in the far distant past before I fell inlove with scratch baking and this never happened. It's been humid, but this happens when it's not humid too. I would love to sell some cupcakes, but not if they look like they have been handled without care.. LOL. What am I doing wrong?

What kind of pan liners are you using- foil or paper ?

I had read on another baking site that if your liners are separating from your cupcakes, they are overbaked.

Maybe try baking the cupcakes for a bit less time?

Is it worth trying a different recipe and experimenting a bit?

I'm trying to think of the recipes I've been using, and I'm sure some of them have butter in them, and I've had no problems.. It could depend on how much butter I suppose?

I use pannetone molds instead of cupcake papers. I think they look much neater. I've never had trouble with them separating.

Paper liners.. and it could be an overbaked thing, but I am careful that they don't cook too long.. 15-20 minutes tops, and only until the tooth pick comes out just clean. It's making me mad.. LOL. Not that *I* care.. I'll eat them even if they are falling out of the liners. icon_lol.gif But for customers.. ugh. I'll try bakign them less. Thanks for the ideas.. icon_biggrin.gif

Fantes.com is the only place I know that retails them. I buy mine in wholesale lots from Qualitat Papers.
