Tips to Make Glow-in-the-Dark Moonlit Cupcakes

• Be gentle: When mixing the batter, be careful not to overmix. This helps keep the cupcakes light and fluffy.
• Use room temperature ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened and your eggs (if used) are at room temperature. This helps everything blend smoothly.
• Let them cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool completely before adding any frosting or decorations to prevent it from melting.
