Next time I will stick with a set of cups rather than convert to metric and see what gives then.CarpeDyemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16248971594038892709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877896513227043132.post-35575475425021642182012-05-19T09:25:06.924+01:002012-05-19T09:25:06.924+01:00And my condolences for your friend.

These are 2.5" (6.35 cm) in diameter, to fit in baking tins that hold 1/2 cup (US) capacity. But that's if the cup is completely filled, so the useful capacity is about 1/3cup (US). 1 US cup=8 fl. oz<br /><br />I wish I could help out more, but my last experience making cupcakes was a disaster. I made a batch and gave quite a few to my neighbor (there is no such thing as a small batch of cupcakes!). After gifting him some cakes, I tried one myself and thought it was foul. Tough, rubbery, eggy. And that's not even discussing the frosting. (I thought buttercream was supposed to be easy!). They were so bad that I apologized to him the next time I saw him and he was confused, because he thought they were great. As it turned out, he was stoned when I showed up and he had just started to get a craving for sweets when I unexpectedly showed up, bearing a tray of homemade cupcakes. I'm glad he liked them. I dumped mine in the compost bin.Lunerayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346187790386024127noreply@blogger.com
