Silicone cupcake liners are fantastic, fun kitchen items and I thought it would be nice to have some on hand for situations calling for a nice, small gift to give. I'm a shopper so I decided to do a little comparison shopping. I studied the offerings on Amazon, then purchased silicone cupcake liners by The Curious Chef, The Chambers Bay Baking Company, The Classic Kitchen and these by The Boston Sweets. I paid full price for all of them. Excellent descriptions of the many advantages (and a few disadvantages) of using silicone cupcake liners have already been submitted by other writers. I trust what they say, so I won't repeat the information.I started by buying cupcake liners by The Curious Chef because I have almost every item from their line of cooking tools for children (they are popular birthday gifts) and their products are excellent, well designed and developmentally appropriate. They are relatively thin, soft, and flexible so I had trouble getting them to stand alone and they did not maintain a round shape. In my opinion, they need the support of a muffin tin to consistently achieve a well shaped product. Over packaging has been eliminated by the manufacturer so there is no box. They look colorful, but kind of small and saggy in a little white mesh storage bag that has a Curious Chef tag stapled on. They are one of the more expensive options and my last pick for gifting.The Chambers Bay Baking Company cupcake liners come in soft pastel colors more appropriate for a Sunday brunch, rather than a backyard cookout or a child's birthday party. They are thick and substantial, sturdy enough to stand alone for baking, forming chocolate cups, or for serving small items such as nuts etc.. They give you a baker's dozen (13) cupcake liners in a pretty box. They are well made and lovely, but pricey. A nice gift for the kind of person who would host brunch or tea, featuring quiche or muffins. Although the cupcake liners by Classic Kitchen and these by The Boston Sweets are both in the middle of the pack in terms of quality and price, I like these better for gifting.

They are exactly what you expect -- silicon muffin cups. They're the *perfect* stiffness, too. They hold their shape so you just place them on a baking sheet or whatever you want & fill. No special prep required.Plus, they're soft enough that you can just squeeze them to pour things like, say, gooey melted chocolate that you've just melted in the microwave.Yes, I said it: melted chocolate! Make your own nut butter cups the easy way: put a block of chocolate or chips or whatever you've got into a cup. This will be the bottom layer of your nut-butter cup, so only use 1/2 the amt you want to have in each final cup. Melt it in the microwave but do NOT burn. (We bake at 30 seconds, flip the chocolate and then another 30. That ought to do it.) Now, put in the fridge & let it cool. Once hard again, spoon about 1/2 t (or whatever you prefer, really) into the middle of the now-firm chocolate. Put in the fridge for a while again if your nut butter was runny. Finally, heat the last cups containing the chocolate for the top of your cup the same way -- these are in their own, separate muffin cup. When it's melted, squeeze the contents of that cup thoroughly on top of your nut-butter. Then, of course, lick out the rest of the chocolate that you couldn't squeeze out.. delicious. Wait, I'm not the only one who does that, right? Lastly, put it into the fridge until firm. Enjoy!Seriously, that's it.Also great for portion control pizzas. We've been busy lately so we just buy pre-made whole wheat dough from Trader Joe's. We roll it out, cut them with the top of a cup or biscuit cutter or anything you want. Place that the bottom of each cup (don't overfill with dough.. it will rise when baking). Add toppings. Bake according to directions. (We did at 450 degrees for about 15.)Really, the uses for these cups are only limited by your imagination. Easy to grab & go.

1. Clean cupcakes with no peeling issues for Hubby.2. Definitely non-sticking cupcake liners. Simply sprayed each cup liner with a little non-stick spray. Made vanilla cakes and then chocolate fudge. I did not wash and respray the cups between flavors but all came out well. I let the cakes cool in the liners a bit before overturning them in my hand and most popped free easily. Others took a bit of coaxing but came out clean.3. Baked in cupcake pans on cookie sheets and on sheet only. Those in a cupcake pan and then placed on a cookie sheet took longer to cook. When setting the liner on a cookie sheet, there was no difference in the shape of the cakes, with the exception of two liner cups I put too close together.4. Neither Hubby nor I noticed any silicone odor in the air or silicone taste in the cupcakes. There was no burned taste although a few were a bit overdone.5. Clean up.... Turn them inside out and clean any residue with thumb and thumb base. Leave inside out, toss into dish water, wipe insides and outsides with wet dish cloth. Toss into sink or container of clear, hot water, smack off some of the water and turn upside down on toweling, flipping when outside is dry. Stack and store.Keep in mind I'll be 75 next January and am not as active as I once was. Chores take their toll on my body so things might not be as easy for me.Yes, I love the product. They do what the description says, and I will continue to use them for personal use and likely for Christmas gifts of homemade fudges, brownies and other homemade candies or cookies In fact, I may gift a few cooks with the set of cups, with or without something in them.I don't think I'd use these for cupcake donations out of the home. Paper or parchment liners will do for strangers. lol
