USING YOUR CUPCAKE MAKER
Baking a batch of cupcakes is incredibly easy with the cupcake maker, which turns out 7 light, fluffy
cakes in around 7 to 10 minutes. The cupcake holes should be lined with cake cases before adding the
mixture. The Lakeland Mini Muffin Cases (ref: 5546) are ideal for use with this product. For some
scrumptious ideas to get you started, see our recipes.
1. With the lid closed, place the cupcake maker on a suitable surface and plug into the mains socket.
The green power light will come on to show the cupcake maker is heating up.
2. After around 5 minutes, the red ready light will come on. Lift the lid, taking great care not to touch
the hot surfaces. Line the 7 cupcake holes with cake cases and divide your cupcake mixture between
them; they should be two-thirds full.
3. Close the lid and let the cupcakes bake.
4. After 8 minutes or so, lift the lid and check the cupcakes. They should be risen and springy to the
touch. If you prefer, test them with a wooden cocktail stick, which should come out clean. If the
cakes are not quite ready, close the lid and let them bake a little longer.
5. Once the cakes are ready, unplug the cupcake maker. Turn the cakes out onto a wire rack to cool.
Let the cupcake maker cool completely before cleaning. See CARE AND CLEANING.
PLEASE NOTE: do not use metal utensils to lift out the baked cakes as this will damage the non-stick
CARE AND CLEANING
Before cleaning the cupcake maker, ensure it is unplugged from the mains socket and completely cool.
Wipe the outside and the non-stick cooking surfaces with a damp cloth, then dry with a soft cloth.
Remove any baked-on food with a plastic-bristled brush or a nylon mesh pad. Abrasive cleaners, steel
wool and scourers will damage the cupcake maker and should be avoided. If you need to use washing-
up liquid, apply a little to the cloth, rather than directly onto the cupcake maker, and ensure all traces
are wiped away.
CAUTION: never immerse the cupcake maker in water or any liquid, and never pour water
onto the cooking surfaces. Store the cupcake maker with the power cord
loosely coiled; never wrap it tightly around the cupcake maker as this
may damage the cord.
