Welcome viewers and introduce the recipe for gluten-free cupcakes.

Show the ingredients needed: Pamela's baking mix, 2 eggs, oil, and water.

Separate the egg whites from the yolks by cracking the eggs and placing the whites in a mixer and the yolks in a separate bowl.

Mix the egg whites in the mixer until they reach stiff peaks, creating a fluffy meringue-like consistency.

Transfer the whipped egg whites to a different bowl and set aside.

Add the yolks, 1/2 cup of oil, and 1 1/2 cups of water to the mixing bowl with the egg whites.

Turn on the mixer and combine the ingredients until smooth, ensuring no powder chunks remain.

Clean up any mess by placing a paper towel under the mixer to catch drips.

Fold the whipped egg whites back into the batter gently to avoid deflating them, ensuring a light texture.

Line cupcake holders with paper liners.

Use a measuring cup to fill each cupcake liner with batter, controlling the amount and minimizing dishes.

Bang the filled cupcake pan on the counter to release air bubbles.

Bake the cupcakes in a preheated oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, placing them on the bottom rack for a nice round shape.

Check the cupcakes with a fork to ensure they are fully baked and dry inside after 20 minutes.

Prepare the frosting by softening a stick of butter in the microwave and placing it in a bowl.

Add 2 cups of powdered sugar to the bowl with the softened butter.

Add 6-7 ounces of cream cheese to the mixture, adjusting to taste for tartness.

Mix the frosting ingredients together, using a KitchenAid mixer with a lid to prevent mess.

Taste the frosting and adjust the cream cheese as needed for flavor.

Add vanilla extract to the frosting for sweetness and a fuller taste.

Once the frosting is mixed to a soft consistency, place it in the fridge to cool.

Once the cupcakes are cool, prepare a piping bag for frosting.

Fill the piping bag with the frosting, rolling down the bag to make it easier to fill.
