  • To prevent the cupcakes from sticking to the liners, spray them with cooking spray before baking.
  • Be careful not to overfill the cupcake liners, as the cupcakes will rise during baking.
  • Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them.
  • For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cupcakes with fish-shaped sprinkles or candies.
