Quick: can I do cupcakes without a cupcake pan?

11-04-2009, 05:48 AM

I can't find my cupcake tin anywhere. I'm guessing it's in storage.

But I do have cupcake papercups... can I use those just on a flat cookie sheet?

No, they will spread...do you have small custard bowls?

They do sell foil cupcake liners you can put on a pan and bake in...but I don't think regular liners will work by themselves...

Argh! I don't have any custard tins. Foil liners is a great idea!

What if I use an 8" square baking pan and pack the cupcakes in tightly?

I hate to run to the store for this (and running out of time since the bday party is quickly approaching

), so it's either the square baking pan with cupcake liners or a square cake instead. Which is okay, but I had my

set on cupcakes for some reason.

I have done this before and they turned out ok. A little square-ish rather than perfectly round, but ok.

They're in.

. They look rather awkward in there. My nephew is lucky I'm no perfectionist.

I think when they're done, I'll use the rest of the batter in the square pan.

I think you could put liners in coffee cups...

I've done them in paper liners on a flat baking tray before and they were fine. I suppose it depends on your mixture though.

Hope they're good.

That is a good idea, as long as they were oven safe!

Thanks for the ideas, ladies! I ended up making 9 cupcakes in the 8" square pan. They looked squashed, but were tasty.

I just did a giant cupcake with the leftover batter and that was good, too.
