The cooking time and temperature for mini cupcakes can vary slightly depending on your oven and the specific brand of cake mix you are using. However, as a general guideline, mini cupcakes should be baked at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. It's always a good idea to check on them a few minutes before the recommended baking time is up to make sure they don't overcook. You can also test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupcake - if it comes out clean, they are done. Happy baking!
