TIPS: A few tips that always make cupcake making a bit easier for me. To make all of the cupcakes a uniform size, I always use a stainless steel cookie scoop for both uniformity and less mess. Make sure to let the cupcakes cool completely, otherwise, the frosting may just melt and runoff. I also squeezed all of the frosting into a small bowl and frosted the cupcakes with my angled icing spatula.
