Hi, I'm Dorangela Bobet, founder of Two Prince Bakery Theater. Today, I'm going to show you how to adjust the oven temperature to bake mini cupcakes. First thing is, it's the same exact baking temperature. You bake it at 350 degrees for most recipes whether you're baking a little cupcake or a big cupcake. So there's no change in that whatsoever. But however you do need to change the amount of time that you do bake so that you don't overcook your cupcakes. For small mini cupcakes usually I would say about half the time. So anywhere between 10 and 15 minutes depending on your oven and your recipe. First thing you're going to want to do is you're going to line your cupcake pan with the liners and we're going to pour the batter in. Making the least amount of mess as possible. So you're going to do this and get them all filled in. And actually a little trick when you're baking, if you decide to only bake a few cupcakes and not a whole pan, it's good to add maybe water into the cavities that you're not baking in because that will actually affect your baking time if you don't have every singe cupcake hole filled with something. So that's good to know. Now we're going to put the cupcakes in the oven. As you can see we've set it to 350 degrees and now I'm going to set the timer for 10 minutes. And when the timer beats in 10 minutes I'm going to get a toothpick and check it to make sure again the toothpick comes out clean, and if it doesn't I'll probably add 2 more minutes to the baking time and check it again. These are ready to go and now what you're going to want to do is you're going to let them cool for a few minutes. Then you can pop them out and they're ready to serve.
