DECORATING ACCESSORIES

Tin Storage Box

• This beautifully decorated tin has a specially fitted insert to store the unit and accessories.

• Keep decorating accessories clean and organized for future use.

Batter Squeeze Bottle

• This squeezable bottle is light, and easily controlled with one hand.

• Fill squeeze bottle with any thin (runny) batter to fill molds.

• Fill squeeze bottle with your favorite glaze. See glaze recipes in the Recipe section of this

Instruction Manual.

Filling the Batter Squeeze Bottle

NOTE: Do not use the batter squeeze bottle for very thick batters. Instead, use the measuring

spoon to scoop batter into molds.

1. Remove the lid from the batter squeeze bottle.

2. Use a funnel or roll a piece of wax (or parchment) paper into a cone. Insert the funnel or

cone into the batter squeeze bottle. Slowly pour the filling (batter or glaze) through the

funnel or cone into the bottle. or . . . pour the batter into a plastic storage bag, trim a corner and slowly squeeze the filling into

the bottle.

3. Allow air bubbles to escape from the mixture by tapping the upright batter squeeze bottle

against any hard surface. WARNING: Do not fill the batter squeeze bottle more than 3/4 full with rising batter, as

batter may expand as it sits. Remove the funnel or cone.

4. Replace the batter squeeze bottle top, twisting it firmly to seal.

5. Wipe any excess filling with a paper towel.

Pastry Bag with Decorative Pastry Tips

• Use to pipe frosting, icing, meringue, or whipped cream filling.

• NOTE: A full pastry bag requires 2 hands — one to guide the pastry tip and the other

to squeeze the pastry bag.

• IMPORTANT: The filling must be the correct consistency — too thin will run out of the tip

and bag, too thick will be difficult, if not impossible, to squeeze through the tip.

• Practice piping using any decorative pastry tip. To make a solid, straight line, move your

hand at a consistent pace, and keep even pressure on the bag.

• Use decorative pastry tips to create fun borders, messages, rosettes, designs, patterns.

Filling the Pastry Bag

1. Use gel to color the filling. Mix well in a small bowl until color is even.

2. Separate the coupler base from the ring and insert the coupler base, narrow end first, into the pastry bag.

3. Cut a very small corner of the bag and slide the coupler into position. IMPORTANT: DO NOT cut too much pastry bag. The coupler should fit snuggly in the pastry bag.

4. Fit the decorative tip onto the outside of the coupler and fasten securely with the coupler ring.

5. Hold the pastry bag with tip attached in your left hand. Hold the lower 1/3 of the bag in your hand and roll 2/3 of the pastry bag inside out — forming a cuff around your hand.

Cup the pointed 1/3 of the bag in the palm of your hand.

SO-309919 BELLA Cupcake Maker Tin Gift Set IM.indd 5 2014-09-04 10:07 AM

6. Use a spatula to scoop frosting, icing, meringue or whipped cream from the bowl into the opened pastry bag.

7. For best results, never fill the pastry bag more than 2/3 full.

8. Close the bag by unfolding the cuff and twisting the bag closed. This forces the icing, meringue, or whipped cream filling down into the pastry bag.

9. Squeeze the first bit of filling out of the tip into the bowl to release any bubbles. Hold the bag between your thumb and forefinger, and press with your palm as you pipe the icing, meringue, or whipped cream.

10. Refill the pastry bag as needed.

Baking Fork

• Wearing oven mitts, remove baked treats from the cooking plate using the baking fork.

• Use care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.

Measuring Spoon

• Use the measuring spoon (1 teaspoon) to fill the molds on the lower cooking plate 2/3 to almost full – use 2 rounded teaspoon of batter.

Cooling Rack

• Remove baked treats to the wire cooling rack to cool before decorating.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the Mini Cupcake Maker Kit and remove all packaging and materials.

2. Before using your Mini Cupcake Maker for the first time, wipe the cooking plates with a damp cloth to remove all dust, and then dry. Wipe outer surfaces with a slightly

damp, soft cloth or sponge.

CAUTION: Take care to prevent water from running into the appliance. NEVER

IMMERSE MINI CUPCAKE MAKER BODY IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUIDS!

3. Set the appliance on a dry, clean and flat surface. Keep the Mini Cupcake Maker

closed until use.

4. Wash and rinse all decorating accessories: batter squeeze bottle, baking fork, pastry bag

with coupler, pastry tip, cooling rack, and measuring spoon. Dry before use.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Use the lid handle to lift the top lid to the open position.

2. Before baking the first mini cupcakes of the day, pour a teaspoon of vegetable oil to both the top and bottom mini cupcake plates. Spread with an absorbent kitchen towel

and wipe off any excess oil.

3. Plug unit into a 120 V AC electrical outlet to preheat. The red POWER ON light will

illuminate. Close the lid.

NOTE: When your Mini Cupcake Maker is heated for the first time, it may emit slight

smoke or odor. This is normal and should disappear after 1 or 2 uses. This does not affect the safety of the appliance. However, as it may affect the flavor of the first mini cupcakes prepared in the Mini Cupcake Maker, it is recommended that these

be discarded.

4. While preheating, prepare mini cupcake batter.

5. After approximately 2 to 3 minutes, the green READY light will turn on, indicating the unit

is preheated and is ready for use.

6. If mini cupcake liners are not used, for best results, use a non-stick cooking spray to

lightly coat the non-stick plates before cooking. This will assist in the removal of the mini cupcakes after cooking.

NOTE: Using no liners will produce a crispier, browner cupcake outside.

SO-309919 BELLA Cupcake Maker Tin Gift Set IM.indd 6 2014-09-04 10:07 AM

7. Mini cupcake liners may be used to ease cleanup and present a more professional-

looking cupcake. Muffin liners come in all colors and patterns can be used to dress up your cupcakes and match your party theme. When using cupcake liners, place 7 liners on a plate. Spray all of the liners before filling.

8. Recipes may vary in cook time and brownness; batters with more sugar will brown

quicker. Note the perfect bake times for each batter recipe for future use.

9. When the Mini Cupcake Maker is preheated, following

the recipe, Fill each of the cupcake molds on the lower cooking plate 2⁄3 to almost full – use between 1 rounded teaspoon to a scant tablespoon of batter. Runnier batters will require more batter. When using liners, place the pre-filled, oiled cupcake liners into the heated lower cooking plate.

NOTE: Do not overfill, batter will expand when cooked.

10. Use the handle to lower the top lid.

11. Close the Mini Cupcake Maker and allow to cook for

approximately 10-15 minutes or until done.

Fig. 2

NOTE: Check for doneness by inserting a dry toothpick into the center of the cupcake. If it comes out dry, the cupcake is ready.

12. If necessary, cover and continue cooking for 30 seconds at a time until cupcakes are browned and cooked to your liking.

13. The green READY light will cycle on and off as the unit maintains baking temperatures.

14. Wearing oven mitts, wipe the outside with a clean paper towel or cleaning cloth if necessary.

15. At the end of the cook time, use the handle to lift the top lid.

16. Wearing oven mitts, use the baking fork to remove cupcakes from the cooking plate to

the cooling rack. Use care to avoid scratching the non-stick surface.

NOTE: If additional Mini Cupcakes are to be baked, keep the Mini Cupcake Maker closed

to retain heat. Always wait until the green READY light turns on before baking more Mini Cupcakes.

NOTE: Mini Cupcakes made later may bake faster because extra heat has been retained.

It may be necessary to adjust to a shorter cooking time to accommodate.

17. When baking is complete, unplug the power cord from electric outlet. Lift the top lid to expose the cooking plate and allow unit to cool.

18. Do not clean until unit has been fully cooled.

SO-309919 BELLA Cupcake Maker Tin Gift Set IM.indd 7 2014-09-04 10:07 AM

MINI CUPCAKE BAKING TIPS

• Recipes may be halved or doubled.

• Sift all dry ingredients together. It is not necessary to beat egg yolks and milk separately.

Just add them to the combined flour mixture and use a whisk or mixer to blend the ingredients well.

• Do not open the Mini Cupcake Maker during baking or the timing may vary.

• Completely bake the mini cupcake before removing.

• When preparing mini cupcake batter, do not over-mix or mini cupcakes will be tough. Stir batter only until large lumps of dry ingredients disappear.

• The optimal amount of batter to produce a full-shaped mini cupcake, without overflowing,

will vary with different mini cupcake batters.

• Add fun glazes and topping to cooled mini cupcakes. See Mini Cupcake Glazes and

Toppings section in the Recipe section of this Instruction Manual.

• Baked mini cupcakes freeze well. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in a plastic

freezer bag or in a covered container.

• Thaw frozen mini cupcakes in a toaster oven until hot and crisp or place in a microwave

oven for 20 seconds. Do not overcook. Add glazes and toppings to the thawed, cool cupcakes.

For lower sugar mini cupcakes:

• Use sugar substitutes.

• Use sugar-free maple syrup.

• Use sugar-free or no sugar added jello, puddings, jellies, jams, etc. for flavorings and toppings.

For lower fat, lower cholesterol mini cupcakes:

• Use skim milk.

• Adapt recipes by eliminating the egg yolk. Always use liquid vegetable oils such as

canola, corn or sunflower, instead of butter.

For lower fat, lower cholesterol mini cupcakes:

• Substitute 1⁄2 cup or more of white flour with whole-wheat flour.

• Substitute 1⁄4 cup of white flour with wheat or oat bran.

CARE & CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: Unplug from electrical outlet and allow to cool thoroughly before cleaning.

1. The Mini Cupcake Maker does not disassemble for cleaning.

2. Never immerse appliance in water or other liquids. Never place the Mini Cupcake Maker

in dishwasher.

3. When mini cupcake liners are not used, the mini cupcake cooking plates should be cleaned and conditioned before each heating.

4. Brush cooking plates with a clean, soft pastry brush or cloth. To condition plates, lightly coat the cooking surfaces with solid vegetable shortening or vegetable oil.

Carefully follow suggested cleaning procedures below. After a time, if mini cupcakes show signs of sticking, recondition as needed.

5. To protect the premium quality non-stick surfaces, use only plastic, nylon or wooden utensils.

6. To remove any batter baked onto the cooking plates, pour a small amount of cooking

oil onto the hardened batter. Allow to set for 5 minutes, then wipe softened batter off with a paper towel or soft cloth. Remove stubborn stains with a plastic mesh puff or pad. A clean round kitchen brush or a toothbrush works well to remove baked-on batter from the molds. For best results, use only products with directions stating they are safe for cleaning non-stick cooking surfaces. Do not use steel wool or coarse scouring pads.

7. The exterior finish should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft, damp cloth.

Dry thoroughly.

8. Decorating accessories are not dishwasher safe and

should be cleaned thoroughly after every use.

9. Holding the batter squeeze bottle, grip the collar of the

bottle top and turn counter-clockwise to remove. Add a squirt of dish soap to a half-bottle of hot tap water. Replace the batter squeeze bottle top; twisting it firmly to seal. Block the bottle top opening with your finger and shake the bottle of soapy water to dislodge residue in the hot water. Remove your finger from the lid, point and squirt the dirty water into the sink.

10. If residue remains, use a bottle brush to clean the

inside of the batter squeeze bottle. Rinse with hot water. Repeat procedure until the bottle is clean. Rinse the bottle thoroughly to remove any soap and rest it upside-down to dry.

11. Rinse the baking fork, measuring spoon, pastry bag with coupler, pastry tip, and cooling

rack in hot water. Use dishwashing soap and a cleaning brush to remove residue. Rinse well and dry before storing.
