(More customer reviews)Last year, I reviewed Miu's Silicone Cupcake Baking Cups and rated those as a five star product. I stand by that review, but feel that Wilton's Silicone Baking Cups are equally as good. As previously stated, I bake fat-free breakfast muffins on a regular basis; they stick to paper cupcake papers so that one loses half a muffin to the paper. My daughter wanted to start using silicone baking cups for her breakfast muffins, but we were unable to find Miu again.
I found the Wilton baking cups to be thicker and even more sturdy than Miu; they are not nearly as flexible. There is little chance of the baking cups spreading from the weight of cupcake or muffin batter. This is particularly helpful if one must sit the cups on a cookie sheet to bake or if one is not using a deep silicone pan to hold the cups and batter for baking. The fill line is particularly nice when baking cupcakes as it allows one to put an equal amount of batter in each cup so that baking time does not vary within a batch of cupcakes/muffins.
There are several ways to address the other reviewers' issues with these silicone baking cups. I freeze my breakfast muffins and have found that if I allow my muffins to sit out for about 5 minutes and then carefully peel off the silicone baking cup, there is little to no baked good sticking to the cup. If some does stick, I simply fill the cup with water and allow it to sit for awhile before hand washing the cup. The second way is to put the muffin cups into your baking pan and then spray all of the cups with non-stick spray. Be sure to do this over your sink to avoid the mess of overspray. Then bake as directed by your recipe, allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes and then turn out of the pan. The muffin cups will come off easily without damaging the baked goods.
As for accidentally throwing out these silicone cups, I remove them just before serving cupcakes or muffins to guests. If you freeze the baked goods and remove the cups before serving, you will need to allow enough time for the product to thaw and come to room temperature. Since there are little to no crumbs sticking to the cup, the treat is not damaged by doing this and my silicone baking cups are safe from being accidentally discarded.
We were able to find Wilton Baking Cups at the big home store where they sold for $7.99 for 12; by using a $5 off $15 purchase coupon, and stacking the 10% off coupon on one item, my daughter was able to reduce her total cost for two sets to around $10.
