For those of you who make standard sized cupcakes, I'm curious about your preferences. Do you prefer:
1. Cupcakes that bake to the top of the liner (flat) or baked domed (mushroom like)?
2. Do you prefer regular height liners (11/4 inch tall) or extended height liners (13/8 to 11/2 inch tall)?
3. Do you like a large piped mound of icing, or a smaller amount (like a spatula swirl)?
1. I don't like the cupcakes to be flat, but I don't like a huge dome either, so an in between is perfect for me.
2. I prefer regular height liners, it's what I always use.
3. Not sure if this is considered a large amount, but this is the general amount of icing I put on top: http://www.cakecentral.com/gallery/i/3347998/sprinkled-cupcakes
It depends on the look you want and what you are going to do with the cupcake for decoration. For just a plain cupcake, I like a little dome and a generous amount of icing swirled in regular height liners.
I prefer a slight dome to my cupcakes, regular liners and I like a decent amount of icing what @SweetShop5 posted is also the same amount I use and prefer to have on them when I eat them which isn't often anymore lol.
I like a slight dome, regular liners and smaller swirl but covering the entire top of cupcake. I am always afraid the cupcake will dry out hence the covering of the top.
I like a rounded top where he highest point is maybe an inch over the liner and a modest swirl of icing that covers all the surface area.
Normally a flat top.
I'm in the moderate icing camp. I believe there should be a balance between the cake and icing. Too much icing and the cake is lost. I believe eating dessert shouldn't leave one feeling stuffed and overwhelmed; rather is should be just enough sweetness to satisfy.
But of course kids feel differently. A friend's 6 yr old daughter simply eats the icing, tosses the cupcake in the trash, then promptly announces she done with her cupcake and may she please have another.
