Make Two Flavor Cupcakes with Batter Babies Cake Batter Dividers {Review}

Make Two Flavor Cupcakes

When people make cupcakes, they usually make a one-flavor cake batter to use, creating cupcakes that are all the same. If they wanted different flavors, they would make a different cake batter and make a new batch of cupcakes. 

But what if you wanted two flavors in one cupcake? 

I'm sure it can be done using some baking secret, but let me tell you a secret of my own: I am not a baker, nor do I possess any baking skills capable of producing a two flavor cupcake. I can't even imagine the mess I would make trying such a feat!

Luckily, Batter Babies by Kimber Cakeware has solved that problem. Made in Ohio in the U.S., Batter Babies are small food-safe plastic cake batter dividers that make it easy to create two flavor cupcakes. They come in packs of 6 for around $4.99. 

Batter Babies are simple to use: you place them in the cupcake pan (with or without liners), pour in two different flavored or colored batters, and take the Batter Babies back out. 

I decided to make cupcakes of my two favorite batters: chocolate and confetti. I used cake box mixes to make them. 

As you can see, I asked my assistant to help with the batters. She had no problem with that! 

After placing the Batter Babies in the cupcake liners, I started to spoon in the batter. What I quickly came to realize was that it was a little difficult using the spoons I was using to get the batter in without making a mess. I switched to ice cream scoopers, which helped a bit. 

I may have made a mess with the batter...

I then began to take out the Batter Babies. The batter stuck to them, so I had to take each one out slowly and carefully so that I did not mix up the batters. Here's my result:

I decided to try again, but this time I sprayed each of the Batter Babies with non-stick spray, which helped when I took them out of the batter. Here's my second result, which looks much better:

I have come to three conclusions about my process: 

1. I should have used pastry bags or squeeze bottles to get the batter in without making a mess.
2. Using the spray make the process much quicker. 
3. Having a second set of the Batter Babies would have made everything a bit quicker since I wouldn't have had to clean off the first set before using them again with new batter.

Despite my conclusions, the cupcakes came out great. I added some colorful icing and fun mustache decorations, which the kids loved!  My husband got in on the fun too, but he had a bit more skill than I! 

Here's a demonstration using Batter Babies:

What I like:

• Simplifies the process of making two flavor/color  cupcakes (or even three flavors if you're creative!)
• Made in the USA using quality food-grade products

What I would suggest:

• Making a pack of 12 or even 24 instead of just 6 cupcake dividers
• Adding to the directions that a bit of non-stick spray helps
