This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC electrical
outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.
A short power-supply cord (or detachable power –supply cord) is provided to reduce the
risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if
care is exercised in their use.
If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used,
• The marked electrical rating of the cord or extension cord should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the appliance,
• If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding
3-wire cord, and
• The longer cord should be arranged so this it will not drape over the countertop or
table top where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
CORD PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk
of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found,
this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please
take it to an appliance service facility.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on
the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF
APPLIANCE WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This
is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a few
more times.
BEFORE INITIAL USE:
• After unpacking the cupcake maker, remove all packaging materials and labels.
• Open the cover by releasing the locking latch.
• Wipe the top and bottom cooking plates with a damp cloth and then towel dry.
USING THE CUPCAKE MAKER:
1. Prepare ingredients in advance and fill the 8 cooking plate reservoirs.
CAUTION: DO NOT overfill the reservoirs.
2. Insert plug firmly into wall outlet. The red POWER light will illuminate.
3. Close the cover until the locking latch clicks in place.
4. After 3-5 minutes, the green READY light will illuminate. This is a good time to check
the progress of the cupcakes, mini-pies, etc.
5. Slowly open the top cover by releasing the locking latch. CAUTION: Avoid touching
the cooking surface. SURFACES ARE HOT.
TIP: Cupcakes are done when a toothpick is inserted into the middle of the
cupcake and it comes out clean and dry. BE SURE TO CHECK ALL CUPCAKES AS
DIFFERENT SPOTS IN THE CUPCAKE MAKER MAY HEAT DIFFERENTLY.
TIP: Treats made with pie crusts are done when the tops are an even golden brown.
CAUTION: Allow pies with fillings to cool before enjoying, as the fillings will be very
HOT.
6. Remove the prepared foods from the cooking plates with a plastic (non-metallic) and
heat-resistant utensil.
7. Add another batch of ingredients, or unplug the power supply cord after cooking and
allow the cupcake maker to cool before moving or storing.

PREPARING PIE CRUST:
Use prepared pie crusts, packaged mix for pie crust or your own favorite pastry recipe.
Allow refrigerated pie crusts to soften or come to room temperature as package directs.
Roll out as for a pie or unfold crust as directed.
One 9-inch pie crust can be cut to make 8 bottom crusts. Use 2 (9-inch) crusts to make 8
(2-crust) pies.
Use the larger side of the pie crust cutter to cut the bottom crusts and the smaller side
of the pie crust cutter to cut the top crusts. Use the forming tool to press crust into the
cupcake maker so it conforms to the cup.
Always place pie crusts in a cold cupcake maker—do not preheat.
For a 2-crust pie, shape bottom crust into cupcake maker, fill and then place top crust on
pie. Use the smaller side of the crust cutting tool to cut away excess dough. Bake about 12
to 18 minutes or until filling is done and crust is browned. For best results, select thicker pie
fillings and do not over fill pies – usually about 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling is perfect.
For a 1-crust filled pie, shape bottom crust into cupcake maker. Bake about 10 minutes or
until crust is browned. Remove, cool and fill.
Use large side of crust cutter
to cut bottom crust
Mold bottom crust into cup-

cupcake tips &
decorating suggestions
Cupcakes are the perfect dessert—for simple family meals,
as a quick snack or for more elegant celebrations. For young and
old alike, they are the right size and are fun, festive and easy.
BAKING TIPS:
• Use your favorite recipes and mixes—or the recipes in this booklet.
• The cupcake maker does not have to be preheated for cupcakes—just spoon the
batter into the cups and bake. However, it works just as well to spoon the batter into a
hot cupcake maker. This makes it easy to do several batches of cupcakes or muffins in
succession. (Use caution as cupcake maker is hot.)
• Always begin with a cold cupcake maker when baking pies, quiches and other recipes
that require shaping or pressing pie crust or pastry into the cups.
• Most cupcakes bake in 5 to 8 minutes. To determine if cupcakes are done, insert a
toothpick into the center of the cupcake; if it comes out clean the cupcakes are done.
• Cupcakes or muffins are very fragile and hot when just baked. Carefully remove them
from the cupcake maker and place on a wire rack. Use caution as the cupcakes and
steam are very hot. Allow the cupcakes or muffins to stand about 5 minutes before
serving—even if you wish to serve warm muffins.
• Use mini paper bake cups if desired when baking cupcakes and muffins. They make
removing and serving cupcakes and muffins easy. Paper bake cups are required for
brownies and cheesecake as the baked brownies or cheesecakes are so hot and delicate
and must cool some before they are firm enough to hold their shape. Do not use
paper bake cups for pies and tartlets.
DECORATING TIPS:
• Make a variety of cupcake flavors and various frostings — let family or guests select
their favorite flavor and decorate as they prefer.
• Leave cupcakes unfrosted for easy packing in a lunch box or when traveling in the car.
• Split cupcakes or muffins horizontally and fill with frosting, jam, preserves, lemon curd
or cream cheese.
• Tint frostings into complimentary colors, holiday colors, the colors of a team or sports
mascot or just your favorite. Frost cupcakes with one color — or frost some cupcakes
in different colors and group them on serving platters.
• Use the tip of a knife or offset spatula to spread the frosting, or fill a decorating bag and
pipe the frosting. For a quick, easy, yet very decorative frosting, fit the decorating bag
with No. 26 star tip and make a large star on top of each cupcake.
• Drizzle swirls of melted dark chocolate over a white frosted cupcake (or melted white
chocolate over dark chocolate frosted cupcakes.)

CANDY TOPPINGS AND ADDITIONS:
Sprinkle tops of frosted cupcakes with sprinkles. Other candy toppings might include:
• Crushed peppermint lGummy or Jelly candies
• Candy-coated chocolates lChocolate stars
• Mini chocolate chips lDecorating or dusting sugar
• Jelly Beans lToasted chopped nuts
• Candy Corn lToasted coconut
• Conversation hearts
Cake decorating shops or craft stores sell many cupcake picks or premade sugar decorations
that are fun, colorful, easy and perfect for a variety of themes.
FONDANT:
Roll packaged, prepared fondant on a board lightly coated with cornstarch. Cut fondant into
rounds to cover the cupcakes or be creative and cut a variety of shapes using small cookie
cutters. For example:
• Cut flower petals, or a flower by cutting a ruffled round.
Add green stems or leaves, as desired.
• Frost cupcakes pink or blue. Cut fondant in the shape of tiny feet or
baby bottles and arrange on top of cupcakes for a baby shower.
• Cut fondant with small alphabet cutters to decorate with initials,
names or holiday greetings.
• Cut tiny triangles from dark colored fondant and arrange as a Jack-o-lantern face.
TIERS, ARRANGEMENTS
AND DISPLAYS:
Arrange cupcakes on a cake pedestal. Better yet, stack two cake pedestals and fill each with
cupcakes. If you don’t have a cake pedestal, place a serving plate on a small bowl, a tin or a
box to make height.
Frosted cupcakes are fun to arrange into a special shape or display. For example:
• Line 16 cupcakes, all frosted in pink, in a wavy line to resemble a caterpillar. Use small
strips of licorice as legs and antenna. Add small candy eyes.
• Arrange 16 cupcakes in a rectangle to resemble a flag. Frost in red, white or blue, as
needed to create a flag. Cover those in blue with star-shaped sprinkles for the stars.
• Arrange 14 to 16 cupcakes to make a bumble bee or butterfly. Set four cupcakes in a
straight row for the body and arrange four or five cupcakes on each side as wing.
Frost with yellow with black accents for a bee or frost with pink for a butterfly.

CONVENIENT MIXES:
MUFFIN MIXES
Prepare muffin mixes according to package directions. Spoon into cups and bake 4 to 6
minutes. Smaller mixes, (pouches approximately 8.5 ounces) will make about 8 mini-muffins
in the cupcake maker.
DROP, CHEESE FLAVORED BISCUIT MIXES
Prepare (7.75 ounce) package mix according to package directions for drop biscuits.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter into each cup (about ½ full) and bake 4 to 5 minutes.
One (7.75 ounce) package makes 20 bite-size biscuits.
TOAST CUPS
Trim crusts from white bread and flatten each slice with a rolling pin. Cut into circles
using the bottom crust side (larger) pie crust cutter. Shape each bread circle into a cup.
Brush with melted butter if desired. Bake until crisp and golden brown, about 7 minutes.
Remove and cool. Fill as desired. As an appetizer, toast cups are great filled with chicken
or tuna salad, hot, cooked chili, prepared sloppy Joe filling or other favorites. For a
brunch, fill with cooked scrambled eggs.
