What is Cupcake?
Topkek is a Turkish packaged snack cake sold in individual portions. Depending on the variety, it may be plain, cocoa-flavoured or filled; it is better understood as a soft, sweet cake for a quick bite than as a frosted cupcake. In Turkey, people commonly enjoy it with tea or grab one between school, work and other daily activities. It can also be packed as a treat, though it is usually a snack rather than a meal.
Its nutrition is mainly made up of carbohydrates and fat, with comparatively little protein or fibre. For a more sustaining snack, pair Topkek with plain yoghurt or milk, and keep the portion in mind if you are having other sweets.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cupcake
What is a cupcake made of?
A cupcake is a small cake usually made with flour, sugar, eggs, and butter or oil, with a raising agent to make the batter rise. It is often topped with frosting; recipes and toppings vary.
What is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin?
Cupcakes are usually sweeter and finished with frosting, while muffins are commonly served without frosting and may include fruit, nuts, or other mix-ins. The distinction is not absolute, and recipes can overlap.
How should cupcakes be stored?
Keep unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature. Frosted cupcakes with cream cheese or another perishable topping should be refrigerated; let them come toward room temperature before serving for a softer texture.
How long do cupcakes stay fresh?
Unfrosted cupcakes are generally best within a couple of days when kept airtight at room temperature. Cupcakes with perishable frosting need refrigeration, and their freshness depends on the topping and how they were stored.
Can you freeze cupcakes?
Yes. Freeze cooled cupcakes in an airtight container, ideally without frosting, and thaw them at room temperature before decorating. Frosting can also be frozen separately; its texture may need a gentle stir after thawing.
Why do cupcakes sink in the middle?
Cupcakes often sink when the centers have not finished setting before they are removed from the oven. Opening the oven early, overmixing the batter, or using too much raising agent can also leave them sunken.
Why do cupcake wrappers pull away from the cake?
Wrappers can pull away when cupcakes cool in a humid or covered space, or when the cakes are stored while still warm. Let them cool fully on a rack, then store them in a dry, airtight container.
Can you make cupcakes without paper liners?
Yes. Grease each well of the cupcake pan thoroughly and dust it lightly with flour, or use a reliable baking spray. Let the cakes cool briefly before loosening the edges and lifting them out.
How do you keep cupcake frosting from melting?
Let cupcakes cool completely before adding frosting; even a warm cake can soften it. Keep frosted cupcakes out of direct sun and heat, and refrigerate toppings such as cream cheese frosting until shortly before serving.
Can cupcakes be made ahead for a party?
Yes. Bake the cupcakes ahead and store them unfrosted in an airtight container; add the frosting closer to serving so it stays neat. If the topping needs refrigeration, keep the finished cupcakes chilled until serving time.
