I'm glad I didn't pay full price for these since I'm using them for anything but cupcakes. I'm not a fan of baking with silicone bakeware because of the smell (and taste) they transfer onto the baked goods which is why I bought them for chocolate molds. The silicone cups are packaged squashed so they're forever in a funky tea cup shape. Securing the base down allows the cups to stay closer to their desired shape. The tiny saucers are a super cute touch.
I find that some products I find on MightyApe don't have all the information I want. The following are some information that others might find helpful before buying: “…Maximum oven temperature should be 475°F… Cups are also safe in microwave and convection ovens… Do not use on stovetops or under a broiler Saucers are for serving only. They are not oven safe! Do not serve tea in the cupcake molds. For baked goods only!”
Handwash only
Temperature range: –58°F to 446°F OR –14°C to 230°C
