Hi, I baked this cupcakes, turned out so nice, but I encounter a problem, next day all my cupcakes separating from paper cases, do you know why? I am planning to bake this cupcakes for my daughter's birthday, myself is a
1st timer to do frosting, I want to
give myself more time, bake the cake 1 day in advance.
Do you have any advice?
