I am fairly new to baking. I completed a cake decorator's course and quickly discovered that I much better at and love to do cupcakes more than cakes.
Anyway, right now I only have this simple kitchenaid hand mixer:

Will the beaters give my cupcake batter and icing air bubbles? Thanks in advance?
I can't speak for the icing, but if you overmix your cupcake batter that will leave you with air pockets. I don't necessarily think that it has to do with the beaters. That's just my opinion though.
Hope that helps!
So, it might not have anything to do with the beaters themselves? I might simply be over-beating my batter and icing?
Thanks for the replies! I will have to pay more attention the next time I am baking!

Mix the ingredients just until all the dry ingredients are all mixed up then stop!
For icing you can cream your butter pretty much all you want but once you start adding powdered sugar you dont want to over mix. Cake mix just until everything is incorporated.
