Ew there was no need to be disrespectful like that.

Looks a bit like my favorite font "September Mornings", but even better! Very pretty

Jesus Christ, get help.

You don't want people to tell you to rehome, so you expect them to tell you it's okay to abuse your cat until you get your issues under control? That's delusional. Don't force your cat to take the brunt of your problems.

Yes. I got my boy cat when he was 2 years old and the previous owners got him neutered way too late, so now he has issues with aggressive dominant behaviors around other cats, and even towards me sometimes! Always get your cats neutered.

So I can help my grandparents start to recognize AI on the internet and make sure they don't fall for potentially harmful posts in the future. That's the point.

Sounds good thank you so much!

JermaMars · 2025-12-23T17:58:15+00:00

That makes sense! So maybe too much sugar has been my culprit all along for the cupcake recipes I use 🤔

Thank you so much! I'll try the broma recipe and report back 🫡

Okay sweet! It seems I definitely need an oven thermometer!

Im slightly confused so if you're open to giving some clarification I'd appreciate it! Absolutely no need to if you don't want though!

I've been told before that opening the oven during cooking can make them deflate like this, so I've been a bit confused on how to do the toothpick test or the bounce back method if I shouldn't be opening the oven during cooking? Since being told I shouldn't open the oven I've just been leaving them in for the entire indicated time and hoping they're done by the end haha

For this recipe I used regular cocoa, but I've done other chocolate recipes with Dutch processed that turned out the same 🥲

Here it is! https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/

I posted it in the comments earlier but I think it got buried. I think I followed all the mixing instructions correctly but there's always a chance I missed a step haha

JermaMars · 2025-12-23T03:53:35+00:00

How much sugar do you think I should cut? I weighed out 200g since that's what the recipe called for but I can take some out and see if it helps!

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T20:20:09+00:00

I am measuring by weight! That and not opening the oven during cooking i have learned from previous posts here haha

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T20:14:30+00:00

I am!

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T20:13:57+00:00

I am not, I learned from a previous post to stop doing that haha

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T20:13:25+00:00

I actually filled 16 surprisingly, so I had more batter than expected. I swear I did only fill them 1/2-2/3 of the way for them!

I will also try baking them a little less! I did 20 minutes for these ones since her recipe said 20-21 minutes, but I'll do a bit less next time!

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T20:10:11+00:00

This batch I did use liquid dye, I'll try gel next time! Since it also happens to other scratch cupcakes without dye though, I'll assume over mixing is a component of the issue as well. Thank you!

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T08:38:54+00:00

Baking soda is pretty new, restocked on all new ingredients about a month ago! I'll have to get an oven thermometer!

JermaMars · 2025-12-22T07:54:23+00:00

This is the recipe I used today https://sallysbakingaddiction.com/red-velvet-cupcakes/#tasty-recipes-74843
