Take care around the hot surfaces of your Cupcake Maker. Steam may escape
during cooking and when lifting the lid—take care! Use a tea towel or oven glove
when opening or closing the lid.
1. Pre-heat your Cupcake Maker. The red light will illuminate when your Cupcake
Maker is plugged in. When the green light comes on, your Cupcake Maker is ready
to use. The green light will turn on and off during use as the correct temperature is
maintained.
2. You can use mini sized cupcake cases with your Cupcake Maker made from either
paper or foil. Silicon cupcake cases are not suitable for use with your Cupcake
Maker.

3. CarefullyplacethelledcupcakecasesintotheindividualholesofyourCupcake
Maker.
4. Close the lid.
5. Cookthecupcakesforapproximately8minutesoruntiltheyfeelspongyandrm.
6. When they are cooked carefully slip a non-metallic spatula or similar utensil under
each cake case and lift it out. Don’t use anything made of metal as this may damage
the non-stick coating on the cooking plate. Place the cakes on a wire rack to cool
completely before icing or decorating.
Additional cupcake cases are available from most supermarkets or on-line retailers
of cookery/baking supplies. Look for ‘mini’ or ‘fun’ size cases or cases of the following

using your piping bag
1. The two piece coupler provides a quick and easy way to attach the tips to the piping
bag. It also allows you to change piping tips without having to empty the piping bag
each time. Insert the inner part of the coupler into the piping bag as far as it will go.
2. Fit the desired piping tip over the end of the piping bag and coupler.
3. Fit the collar over the tip.
4. Tightenthecollarrmlytoholdthetipinplace.
5. Fold the top of the bag down. Use a spatula or spoon to place the icing in the bag.
Standingthebaguprightinajarorcupcanhelpduringlling.Fillthebaghalftotwo-
thirdsfull.Don’toverllthebag.Closethebagbyunfoldingthecuffandtwistingthe
top of the bag closed. This forces the icing down into the bag. Make sure you release
any air trapped in the bag by squeezing some of the icing out of the tip into a bowl.
6. Hold the bag as shown. Gently squeeze the bag using an even pressure to push the
icingoutofthetip.Varyingtheamountofpressurewillhelpyoutocontroltheowof
icing.
For best results, the consistency of your icing is important. Stiff icing is used for
decorationssuchasowersandpetals.Thinicingisusedforwritinganddelicate
lines and outlining work. As a general guideline, if you are having trouble creating the
decorations you want and you feel your icing is too thin, add a little more icing sugar; if
you feel your icing is too thick, add a little more liquid.
Flat plain swirls: Use a plain wide nozzle and slowly swirl the icing from the middle to
the edge in an increasing spiral.
Pointy plain swirl:Asabovebutthistimestartattheedgeandnishinthecentre.
Slightly overlap the previous swirl as you go. Finish at the centre with an upward
movement to create a pointed peak.
Wide star swirl: Use a wide star nozzle and either pipe from the middle or the edge as
described above. This looks attractive when starting a little further from the edge so that
the edge of the cake remains visible.
Cleaning
Untwist the top of the piping bag and scoop out any remaining icing.
Unscrew the collar and remove the tip. Reach into the piping bag and remove the inner
part of the coupler. Turn the bag inside out.
Fill a bowl with hot water and add a few drops of washing up liquid. Place the bag into
the bowl full of water and let it soak for a few minutes. Gently brush the bag with a soft
bristled brush to remove any icing residue.
Place the piping tips and coupler into the bowl and brush them to remove any residue.
Rinse everything in clear running water. Leave the bag inside out and let it air dry before
returning it to its original shape and storing. The piping bag and coupler are not suitable
for cleaning in a dishwasher.
