For those of you interested in cupcakes, get thee immediately to The Reject Shop!
I have discovered the most fantastic little silicone cupcake patty pans: for $5 you get a DOZEN brightly coloured (purple, pink, green and blue) individual cake pans that will allow you to make the most fantastic cupcakes.
As you know, I am a new convert to the wonders of silicone bakewear. A neophyte in the world of cupcakes, I was delighted to find these little pans because I hate using the little paper cases – the cake always sticks to the paper, and the pans (for me) often slip and rarely fill evenly. Both of these evils are prevented with the silicone and a big plus is that they’re reusable. Never feel bad about throwing away paper cases again!
Plus, they’re bright enough to be left on the cake for ease of transportation.
The Reject Shop carries three types – round, square, and flower-shaped. I bought a pack each of the round and square (the flowers didn’t appeal to me for some reason) and I advise you to so the same. Given that The Reject Shop doesn’t always carry items longer than once-offs, I suggest that you snaffle these up quickly.
I made a batch of cupcakes last night to try these out but unfortunately they all evaporated before I could take a photo. I didn’t even get a chance to ice the little buggers! Apparently something about a good, old-fashioned vanilla cake mix triggers some primeval urge in The Husband to go forth and devour. What a good excuse to go and bake another batch today! It’s cold here today so I can’t think of anything better than to be in a warm kitchen with the oven going. What else can I bake today? I suspect we’ll have pizza tonight for sure!!

Hello,
I am new to blogging and still trying to find my style. I found you by the tag registry. In any case, I wanted to tell you a bit about silicone bake ware. The best is put out by Demarle and used to only be available to industry proffesionals but is now made available to you through direct sellers. The difference between demarle is the patent design they have with glass interwoven through the mold. The glass allows a convection like no other and creates a beautiful browning effect on whats baked. They also are the creators of silpats. If you would like to hear more, I will certainly tell you that these are the best products hands down for what we do. Please stop by my blog. The post of Grand Finale has a picture of my silicon bake ware use. Enjoy, and Happy Baking.

hey ninazer0, can I ask why you “moved”, what changed. Call me an idiot but I don’t understand boohoohoo…
Looking forward to some photos of your new cupcake moulds with the cakies in them. I have looked at silicone bakeware, and have a pastry/baking mat but haven’t been brave enough to try the cakepans yet.

Well, I was getting some stuff published under the “Voodoo Kitchen” byline, but the blog is listed under “ninazer0″ and I’ve had people complain that they found it hard to find the blog (apparently they’ve never heard of Google – go figure!). It does neaten things up a little and I had vague plans on seperating the food stuff from everthing else, but it seemed a bit – oh…I dunno – silly.
Chalk it up to mid-life crisis.
Same as the hair-dying, house-buying and room-painting.
