  Hi Diana,

I have a problem on how can i make my muffins/cupcakes looks bigger like the usual muffins in a cafe like starbucks.  They're muffins are big what i mean the muffins are over/heap in the muffin pans.  How can i make it bigger is it in scooping the batter for almost 3/4 in the muffin pans or does it depends on a particular recipe?  Kindly email your answers to bellygirlph@yahoo.com

Thank you looking forward for your reply.

Smile

  Hi smile,

To achieve bigger muffins, do these things (from Marcy Goldman):

Tons of batter makes bigger muffins. Forget the fill until 2/3s full deal. If you want mall muffins, pile the batter high.

Use an ice-cream scoop to get nicely shaped muffins.

Bake on the upper rack for better muffin caps.

Buy a new tin of baking powder!

AND from me,

Use a 6 cup muffin tin (the type that makes jumbo or giant muffins) instead of a regular 12 cup tin. Fill cups to almost the top. You will have large muffins for sure.

Good Luck!
