Don't buy these


One of my least favourite things in my kitchen at the moment are these white cupcake cases that I picked up at the local supermarket.  
They’re horrible. 

First of all they’re tiny.  I don’t know how they can call themselves ‘cupcake cases’ – they’re more like ‘thimbles’.  Look how tiny they are in my cupcake tray!  Tiny.  I put just over 1 tablespoonful of batter in each liner and that practically filled them up. 


 They also seem to separate from the actual cupcake after baking.  Not pretty.  I'm pretty sure it’s not my cupcake as I've made them in other cases with no problems.  So my conclusion is that these liners just seem to separate.  Perhaps they’re too waxy?  Who knows.

I know, the world’s not going to stop turning because I bought some dud cupcake cases, but I have 100 of them!  What am I supposed to do with them?
Well, I could just make lots of chocolate cupcakes (not a bad thing), but then I would have to eat them all myself.  Not good for my ‘diet’. 

Or I could just let my daughter make her ‘cupcakes’!
On another note, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to everyone.  Enjoy the mooncakes!

    1. I don't know about yum! They're probably full of dust, cat hair and other unknowns!

  2. I hate when that happens. Use them to put nuts in when guests come over or to sort sprinkles in for cookie decorating.

  4. Thanks for your comments. We aren't fans of parsnips either but with the maple syrup on them, they didn't know the difference.

    Also as for the cheesecake if you're not a fan of too many steps then use the canned apple pie filling and vanilla pudding mix not instant. It comes together in 10 minutes plus cook time. It's to die for.
