The Simple Baker Silicone Baking Cups ~ Vibrant and Fun To Use

I really do love baking with silicone baking cups. They make baking quicker and easier, that is if you have the right kind. Not all silicone baking cups are equal! Some are definitely better than others.

The Simple Baker has a great set of Silicone Baking Cups. The first thing off the bat that is wonderful about them is they come in packs of 24. Since I seldom make small batches of anything when I bake, I love having 24 to work with. Saves time for sure!!

SAFE & EASY TO USE! The Simple Baker Baking Cup set fits perfectly into existing cupcake baking pans or you can simply place them directly onto a baking pan. There is no need for using greasy cooking sprays or wasting paper wrappers - just place them on the tray and they are ready to go! Your baked good will remove easily from these BPA free silicone baking cups! A simple little wiggle on the sides and bottom and out pop the cupcakes or muffins. Oh and we have tried mini meat loaf in them and they work great. SOOOOO much easier to clean the silicone baking cups instead of the muffin pan!

MAKE BAKING FUN! The set comes with 6 vibrant colors - pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple - 4 cups of each color. These cups are heat resistant to 475° and holds 2.5 fluid ounces. Basically, they are standard size cups.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY! The cups are BPA Free and made with eco-friendly silicone. You will no longer have to waste paper wrappers and you can save money as well! I love that!

LIFETIME GUARANTEE! The fact that they come with a 100% money back lifetime guarantee is wonderful! If you aren't satisfied in any way, contact The Simple Baker and they will refund your purchase price, no questions asked. Not too many companies offer the no questions asked in their guarantee.

EASY TO CLEAN! The 100% pure food grade silicone is stain resistant and completely dishwasher safe! Cleaning is quick and easy! Even after cooking something greasy in them, they come clean! if you hand wash them like I do (broken dishwasher), I would recommend using a brush to help clean them making sure to get all the bits out of the ribs in the cups.

I love using these baking cups because of their quality and ease. They are tin enough silicone that things do not stick in them and thick enough to hold their shape really well! Oh and they are sold for a fabulous price for a 24 count pack!

Baking Fun With Lisa and Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups

Hi, it’s Lisa again to tell you about Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups.

These molds are made of 100% food safe silicone, BPA, lead & phthalate free. They have a temperature range of -40 to 440 degrees Fahrenheit. They are also dishwasher, oven, microwave & freezer safe.

These great regular sized cups come in a set of 12 bright, brilliant, and fun colors. I decided to try them out by making some cup cakes. They cooked the cupcakes evenly, but I had a little trouble getting them loose from the cups, and some of the cake stuck to the sides and bottom.

I think they would work better with muffins, rather than cupcakes because once the cupcakes are frosted it is nearly impossible to get the cupcake out without having a handful of frosting! It is also difficult to bend or peal the cupcake out of the silicone cups because they are much stiffer than paper cups. You also risk getting them thrown away!

I think these cup molds can be used for a variety of other uses and work great, such as corn muffins, mini quiche , brownies, ice cubes, ice cream cupcakes etc. And they sell for a really good price!

Baking With Silicone Baking Cups Saves Time and Money

Baking is something that is a part of how I like to make out home comfortable and soothing. I love to bake and I love making muffins pretty much more than anything. There are so many kinds and flavors.

I will admit though, that I do not like using paper liners because of the waste and I do not enjoy using non-stick sprays. They make a horrible mess of my pans. My pans go through so much anyway without extra help. So that leaves greasing the pans with shortening or oil. Still not fun and somewhat time consuming and messy.

I know....whaaaa, whaaaa, whaaaa! Even though there are steps I don't enjoy, muffins are made often and enjoyed here at our home.

When companies started developing silicone bake ware and I learned about silicone muffin cups, you can imagine my excitement! They are so neat to use and save a ton of time and no more greasing. Yay!!

Brighids Kitchen sent me a 12ct set of their Silicone Baking Cups to try out and I did, several times. Here are some basics about their silicone baking cups.
- Safe to use in oven, microwave, freezer, refrigerator and dishwasher with temperatures safe from temps of -40 to +446 degrees Fahrenheit.
- FDA Approved Food Grade Silicone and BPA Free for safe use by you and your family.
- No Hassle, No Questions, One Year Money Back Guarantee!
- These silicone baking cups are reusable and dishwasher safe.
- They are non-stick to make it easy to get your muffins out.
- They can be placed directly on a baking sheet without the need for a muffin pan, but you may want to use the pan if you need to make sure the shape doesn't flatten out.
- There are 6 colors in each package, 2 cups of each color, including: Blue, Green, Purple, Pink, Yellow and Orange.
- FDA Approved Food Grade Silicone, BPA Free and safe for you and your family.
- Easy to transport with more firm support than paper liners provide.
- Easy-release feature makes it simple for your friends to enjoy your cupcakes.
- Use in the oven for baking cupcakes, muffins, cheesecakes, egg muffins, etc.
- Use in the freezer to create large ice cubes, ice cream cupcakes, etc.
- Use in the refrigerator for gelatin and pudding.
- Use in the microwave with fast cook recipes.
- Use as mini snack bowls for nuts, chocolate, etc.
- Use to divide up a lunch/bento box.

You can see that there are a ton of uses for silicone baking cups, way more than just muffins. That's what I like about them most. They do make great ice cubes that melt slowly and are perfect for ice cream cupcakes. Just decorate the tops with whipped cream and it looks like icing on top! It's a fun and creative dessert.

With the Brighids Kitchen I was not as happy with them as a few others I have tried. They are much thicker than others I have and I do like that because they do keep their shape better with heavy things served and fixed in them. But for muffins and cupcakes I had a little trouble with sticking, a lot more than I have had with other brands. I was super disappointed with that! Most silicone baking cups you can remove the item pretty quickly after they come out of the oven and there is little to no sticking. With the Brighids Kitchen silicone baking cups, you have to wait until the items are completely cooled and then slowly work around the cups to release what is inside them.

Were I had the best success is with making ice cubes and ice cream cupcakes. You soften the ice cream slightly, enough to be able to shape it some. Fill the silicone cups with the ice cream and freeze again. When they are frozen completely, wiggle the silicone (the same as you would with ice) and out pop the ice cream cupcakes. They look so cute on a small plate with whipped cream frosting and drizzles of chocolate or caramel. A very fun and special treat.

These are not the best silicone baking cups I have tried, but they are good.

Carrot-Raisin Muffins or Zucchini-Raisin Muffins 

½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
2 eggs
½ cup raisins
½ cup sour cream
½ cup vegetable oil
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup carrots or zucchini, shredded
½ cup unsweetened coconut, flaked (optional)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, beat sugar and butter together until they are well mixed (about 2 minutes). Add sour cream, oil, and eggs. Beat egg mixture until it is well mixed. Stir in carrots, optional coconut, and raisins by hand. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add flour mixture to sour cream mixture and stir to blend.

Spoon mixture into greased muffin tins, unless using silicone cups; no need to grease them. Bake for about 20 minutes, until slightly browned.

Optional: Make a loaf of bread instead. Follow the same recipe  only placing the dough in a greased and floured bread pan. Bake for 55-60 Minutes.

My family loves these little muffins and bread!
