No. Cupcakes are wraped in that fringy tissue paper. So when you put them in the oven, they bake on to the paper, then you add the icing, sprinkles, etc. Depending on the batter, you may have to, as i have had cupcakes that stick, but about 95% of the time you don't. There isn't really a way to tell if the batter is going to stick or not, so it is just trial and error really.

Similarly, some type of oil is needed to produce the appropriate texture and chewiness for a pizza.

Is it dangerous to drink almond extract?
It seems imitation almond extract usually contains: water, alcohol (25%-40%), and a flavoring bitter almonds. A drop can kill someone with a nut allergy. Also, bitter almonds are poisinous in a small quantity due to the cyanide. Although all almonds and other seeds from similar plants (pits of peaches and apricots for example) contain cyanide, the extract has high concentrations of it. It is ok to use a few drops in a batch of dough, but if you are taking sips of this because you want a little buzz, you are in big trouble.

Assuming you have your frying oil at 350 degrees, it should only take 2 - 3 minutes each to deep fry scallops.

Before frying, make sure to pat them dry with a paper towel to remove all the water on the surface. Moisture on the surface may prevent the scallop from browning properly.
