hello everyone, I am making cupcakes lately and I always have to discard about 5 o 6 from my baking batch, because the liners get separeted from the cupcake when I am cooling them in the rack, do you have any advice on this? thanks

Bump. Wow, I don't know but I'm doing a cupcake wedding in June and this scares me to death!!! LOL I'm planning to use the foil cupliners instead of paper. I've had the problem of paper pulling away in high humidity situations and when I've put the cupcakes in a pie taker and they've, again, gotten warm and too moist. I'm guessing that it is related to humidity/moisture excess in some way. Maybe somebody can clue us in!

Humm, I've never had that happen. I have no idea why it would. I'm looking forward to seeing what others say.

I think you are right Phoov, I live in San Diego and their is a lot of humidity, maybe someone has a secret to prevent it in this type of weathers!!!! I am crossing my fingers!!!! because I am putting a lot of weith with the cupcakes I have to eat lol......

Have a nice day everyone

p.s.
I am new to the forum does anybody know if there is a specific cupcake gallery, I tried to find one and I only found a small cake and petit fours I think. but in the wedding category.

Welcome to CC hun. I don't think there is a specific category because cupcakes are basically cakes lol icon_wink.gif

As for the cupcake liners... I don't know why it's doing it but you could take and tie a small ribbon around each one to hold the liner to it for presentation purposes.... just an idea icon_smile.gif

oooh! i like the ribbon around each cupcake idea! I have the liners separate from the cc once in a while. it seems to happen the more the cc are handled, as far as i can tell with mine. The plain white paper liners work the best for me. SOmething with the specialty papers..... they are maybe more waxy or soemthing....... i use the foil liners alot as well and they tend to peel off more easily than the papers. hth!

the foil liners are so pretty, but they tend to separate from the white cups inside every once in a while. i've tried tying them with ribbon, but i find that it just keeps sliding down the side of the foil. any suggestions with this?

If you are talking about the white liners that come with the foil cakes....I think that those are just to seperate the foils for shipping. They are supposed to be thrown away....not used with the foil liners. It just makes the foils not stick together. I hope that helps.

a touch of hot glue may keep the ribbon on.

that's the first thing i tried, but as soon as the glue dried, it popped off. maybe a little double-sided tape?

I wonder what that glue is that is really gummy (it seems to be what they use to glue giftcards onto the cardboard holder that they come in) It almost seems like rubber cement but no smell...that stuff holds anything!! You just rub it off....I bet that would work if it isn't toxic.

thanks for your suggestion - will look into it. it shouldn't be any more toxic than the glue gun?
