The idea of pipettes goes all the way back to Louis Pasteur dispensing liquids in the lab, but today’s dessert pipettes allow you to add style to your desserts whatever the occasion. Common uses include cheesecakes, cupcakes, pudding, canapes, even chocolate-covered strawberries. Today pipettes are adding interest to all types of foods.
These cute mini pipettes are perfect for adding liquids or alcohol to the center of the cupcake, without leaving them soggy.
What is the point of pipettes in cupcakes? You squeeze the air out of the small plastic pipe, and dip the tip of the cake pipette into a small bowl or cup of your favorite liquor(Rum, Vodka, Bourbon or Whiskey) or liqueur(Baileys Irish Cream, Kahlua, Rumchata, or Lemon flavor Limoncello). Like magic, the liquor fills the pipette. Press the pipette into the top of of each of your mini cakes, the whole batch – and you’re ready to enjoy! When you are ready to eat this richer taste in a spiked cupcake, pinch that marvelous mixture right into the cake. What adult doesn’t like Cupcakes with boozy pipettes?
What the FAQ?
In times of scarcity and economic hardship, people have innovated to achieve simple pleasures. The Wacky Cake, (aka Crazy cake, Funny Cake, or Depression cake) became popular during the Depression and into WWII. Milk, butter and eggs were scarce, and many families did not have a whisk, or electric mixer. Ingredients in the Wacky cake include flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, vegetable oil, white vinegar, salt and vanilla extract. Additionally, all of the ingredients for this cake are mixed directly in the pan it is baked in.
This cake is moist, and full of rich chocolate flavor. For almost 100 years, it has captured the hearts and taste buds of generations with its simplicity and accessibility. And since the Wacky Cake is naturally vegan, it’s always a great option for dessert, especially for those with restricted diets.
Some would say the Wacky cake is simpler than a store-bought cake mix. The Wacky cake features very basic ingredients that you probably have in your pantry. What’s more, it takes just over 30 minutes to make. No need for extra dishes! The ingredients are mixed in the pan it is baked in. Whether it is for a layer cake, cupcakes, or ‘Shutthefuckupcakes’- this recipe is delicious, budget-friendly and versatile.
The important thing is to mix the dry ingredients well before adding the liquids. The nostalgic 3 wells instruction probably comes from the time when pasta or breads were put together on cutting boards- and the wells saved mess.
The wacky cake is leavened by the reaction between the baking soda and the vinegar. The wells are not necessary- just make sure the baking soda is well-mixed in the dry ingredients, before adding the wet ingredients. This unique recipe is the secret to a moist and delicious cake .
Shutthefuckupcakes Cupcakes with pipettes of Kahlua are conversation stoppers. The best alcohol-infused cupcakes may cause exclamations of STFU! The combination of Chocolate cake, Toasted Coconut and Kahlua flavors combine to make a memorable dessert.
