FAQs
Can I use these in the microwave?
No, these cups feature a metallic finish that is not microwave-safe.
Do I need a muffin pan to use these?
No, these are designed as free-standing cups and will hold their shape on a flat baking sheet.
How many cups come in a pack?

Are these suitable for cake pops?
Yes, they make excellent presentation vessels for displaying cake pops or candies.
What is the best temperature to bake at?
For optimal results, bake at standard muffin temperatures, generally between 325°F and 350°F.
Troubleshooting
Cupcake batter spilling over the sides
Ensure you are filling the cups no more than two-thirds full to account for rising.
Metallic finish appearing dull after baking
Check your oven calibration; baking at temperatures above 375°F (190°C) can cause the finish to lose its luster.
Cup shifting or sliding on the baking sheet
Place a thin silicone baking mat or parchment paper on your baking sheet to provide extra grip for the base of the cups.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use these cups, simply place them on a standard metal baking sheet. No pre-greasing is necessary for most sponge-based recipes, as the high-quality material is designed to release easily. When finished baking, allow your goods to cool completely on a wire rack to ensure the structural integrity of the paper remains firm. Store the remaining unused cups in a cool, dry place inside their original packaging to prevent the metallic finish from scratching or bending.
