Notes

All amounts, the temperature and the time come from our video. It says 140 degrees, which is Celsius (about 285°F). The sliced almonds are in the footage but not in the captions, so no amount is given. The 10 minutes prep is our estimate.
The video doesn't say how many cupcakes this makes; the basket in the footage holds about seven tall paper cups.
