To prepare a hummingbird cupcakes with cream cheese maple frosting and praline topper recipe, you will first need to prepare the cupcake batter. Preheat the oven to 350?F (180?C) and line cupcake liners with cupcake paper. Fill each cupcake about 3/4 full with batter and bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool before frosting.
