Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't see paying $17 for four cupcake molds a good value when the only reason I paid so much for these (I bought 3 boxes, stupidly) was for their aesthetic value. I can't give them any more than one star (I'd give zero, if I could) because I didn't buy these to be silicone cupcake molds, I bought them to be pretty white porcelain-like tea-cup cupcake molds. If I wanted purely functional silicone cupcake molds, I would have bought those ... and paid much less for them.
The instructions indicate clearly that using a spray-on oil to oil the cups will cause discoloration, but nowhere is it said that baking cupcakes ONE TIME will ruin the cups with permanent stains. After ONE USE, each and every one of my cups was stained anywhere the cake batter was thin enough to over-cook slightly (such as at the edges of the cupcakes or where one or two drops of batter were left on the edge or outside of the cups.
Naturally, the cups will still work as cupcake molds, but why the he11 would I pay so much money for a mold that is marketed as a porcelain-look-alike product that stains the first time it is used? I certainly could have been more fastidious in my placement of the cake batter, but I wasn't particularly careless and I was under the impression that I would have been warned (by the box) if there were a problem (e.g. such as was the case with the spray-on oil).
This is particularly disappointing to me because my daughter is about to turn one and I thought these would make super cute cake molds for her 1st birthday ... so, what I paid a whole lot of money for was only dashed hopes for a cute party idea.
------
I have noticed that a more recent review gives a complicated pre-use treatment plan for avoiding stains. Nowhere on the box (or on any other silicone baking item I've used, for that matter) is this treatment described. I have never done that and don't know if it works, but it might. If the makers of these cups had indicated that a thorough and complicated anti-staining treatment should be followed to avoid stains, I certainly would have followed it. Even if stains can be avoided, I still think a zero to one star review is appropriate, considering the manufacturer gives no warning of possible problems that might occur through the normal, advertised use of the product.
