I don't know how many times I've found adorable cupcake liners, only to have them become completely overwhelmed with the color of the cake and the grease soaking through. So when we found a company that made greaseproof liners, we HAD to get them!
The liners have been available in our shop for a couple weeks and we finally got a chance to try them for ourselves this past weekend.
Using an assortment of liners and a chocolate cake mix, we made the cupcakes as usual. We decided to use chocolate because it is the darkest cake and hardest to keep from overwhelming a cute liner. In the future we want to try it with white cake, spice cake, funfetti, and all sorts of other kinds.
Some of the greaseproof liners stood up to the chocolate cake better than others, but all of them were amazingly better than the non-greaseproof liners we tried. And the results will definitely be different for lighter colored cakes.
Here is a cupcake that has a regular cupcake liner:
See how the orange only shows at the top, and the bottom is greasy?
Now here's a greaseproof liner:
And if that example hasn't impressed you enough, then check out our side by side zebra cupcakes:
Those were made, cooked, and handled exactly the same. Amazeballs, right?
So, the conclusion of our cupcake experiment is that greaseproof cupcake liners are supremely awesome. Check out the ones we have in our shop (because we'll probably be getting more now).
