You can use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon or fill a piping bag with the batter. Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full. Bake at 350 F for 14-15 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.

1. If using natural food coloring, do no sweeten whipped cream with raw sugar, because it most likely will not be dyed evenly.
