Expert Tips

• We found that using rainbow jimmies work the best in the cupcake batter, as the color doesn’t bleed.
• Be careful to not over-mix the cupcake batter!
• We recommend using a large cookie scoop to ensure that each cupcake is equal in size.
• If you’re unsure the cupcakes are baked, you can use a cake tester or tooth pick. If it comes clean, the cupcake is baked through!
• Let the cupcakes cool COMPLETELY before coring and filling them.
• If left out of the freezer too long, the ice cream will melt into the cupcake. You need to keep the cupcakes in the freezer as soon as their filled!
• Depending on how much you core the cupcakes, you may need more ice cream to fill them!
• Be sure to keep these cupcakes in the freezer until you’re ready to eat them.
