- Do you love making cupcakes, but find that the paper liners create a lot of waste? Why not try a reusable silicone alternative?
- Want to make cupcakes in advance? No problem! Just double the amount of batter and freeze the cupcakes—without toppings—in freezer-safe containers. This saves time and energy. After thawing, prepare the topping, spread it over the cupcakes, and decorate them with fruit.
