Cupcake Making Tips -

Egg White Separation

The easiest time to separate egg whites from yolks is while they are cold from refrigeration. Warm egg yolks puncture easier.

Cupcake Making Tips -

Vanilla Extract

Vanilla extract is made by combining alcohol with vanilla beans and allowing the vanilla bean flavor to slowly extract into the alcohol. The resulting liquid is blended with sugar and water. The alcohol burns off during the cooking or baking process.
