What do you do when you’re ready to bake and out of cupcake liners? Make your own! You may decide to make this your go to as these DIY cupcake liners are fit for any fancy bakery.
One day I was all geared up to make cupcakes for my son’s school party. I had all of the ingredients at home already. This made me super happy because it meant no trek to the store with the two boys. The batter was all whipped up, the oven was preheated, I pulled out my pans and went to grab the liners I normally had on hand, only to come up empty. Thoughts started running through my head: Could I run to the store without a hassle? Can I wait and have my husband bring them home? WAIT…what if I make my own DIY Cupcake Liners? The parchment paper came flying out, and here’s my creation!
What you will need:
- Parchment paper
- A small cup or half pint jar
- Scissors
Step One:
Trim your parchment paper into approximately 4″ by 4″ squares. If you want more flare to your edges, simply make a larger square. You can always trim later.
Step Two:
Center your square on top of the base of your small cup.
Step Three:
With a tight grip, pull the paper down over the cup so you get a tight circle and pleated edges.
Step Four:
Place into your muffin tin and fill 2/3 full with your cupcake or muffin batter. Bake as directed. After baking, I folded my edges over some to get more of an open look. But you can certainly leave them more upright, or trim them all together.
