METHOD
CUPCAKE PREPARATION
1. Before we begin let's assemble all our ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350
degree F. NOTE - applesauce adjusted from 1/2 cup to 1- 1/4 cup and milk was
adjusted to 1/2 cup (milk is added to adjust thickness of the batter).

2. Sift the dry ingredients first. Sifting flour with dry ingredients not only keeps the
lumps out, it also helps to incorporate air into the flour. Mix all the dry ingredients
one by one.

3. Get rid of all the lumps by pressing them against the strainer. Set it aside. Time
to prepare the wet ingredients. Using a blender/hand blender cream butter and
sugar together. Fold in applesauce.. FOLD IT IN - DO NOT WHISK.

4. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix using a spatula. It
will look like a creamy and smooth mixture.

5. Line the muffin pan with cupcake liners.

6. Fill your cupcake liners 1/2 to 2/3 full. Don't overfill them.

7. Cupcake liners 2/3 filled.

8. A much closer look.

9. Place them in the heated oven for 15-20 minutes. For me it was 18 minutes.

10. Once baked take them out and allow them to cool down completely.

11. Perfectly baked cupcake.

12. Let's do our toothpick test. Insert a toothpick in the center of the cupcake.

13. If it comes out clean, cupcake is ready.

14. Allow it to cool, before unwrapping the liner.

15. Enjoy as is or get ready to prepare its frosting.

FROSTING PREPARATION
1. In a mixer combine all the ingredients and whisk them till they are fully blended
and creamy.

2. Creamy and delicious frosting for cupcakes is ready.

3. Using a icing decorating tip of your choice begin decorating your cupcakes.

4. Before you begin, squeeze some of the frosting out - squeezing will release all
the air trapped inside the bag.

5. Hold bag at 45 angle and lightly press tip against the cupcake. Squeeze a small
circle of frosting on the cupcake and by applying a firm pressure squeeze out a
large ball of frosting making it a base.

6. Maintain a steady pressure and keep moving your tip in a continuous circular
-with the tip still buried in frosting.

7. Keep squeezing and moving your hand in circular motion to form that swirled
look.

8. Gradually raise the tip, giving it that spiky tip.

9. Decorate as you please.

10. Share it among family or friends or NONE :) go ahead and indulge yourself!!
