Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

I have a good level of experience with regard to baking but whenever I cook cupcakes using paper cases, either foil or just plain the case comes away from the sides of the cake.   I thought it was because I was over baking but I am still having the same problem.  Can you suggest what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you

I used to have problems with peeling cases but I do the following and have not had any problems since:

I use good quality cases – I found I had far more peeling cases when using cheaper brands

I let my cupcakes cool down in the tin rather than removing them to a wire rack, this again seems to reduce peeling.

I always store the cupcakes in a cardboard box or tin.  I found that keeping them in a plastic container such as a Tupperware box used to make them peel

Hope one of those suggestions helps

I use heavy duty greaseproof cases from design-a-cake. usually mine peel when my cupcakes are too soft.

My cases keep peeling away from the cakes. What is going wrong?

The only supermarket cases Ive had  so far that haven’t peeled are morrisons foil ones.

I also had this problem, and now, before they’re placed in the oven, I use the end of a teaspoon, and swirl the mixture around in the paper cases…don’t know how this works, but not had the problem since LOL
