Just thought you might like to know that you can buy these with patterns on them as well. I’m currently searching for something other than what I’ve been able to find. (Polka dots and stripes) I’ve found very few on Etsy, but you can definitely get them at shopsweetlulu.com

So glad I found your site via google. Typed in Cupcakes nut & party cups and you were one of the first. I have just recently purchased some myself and wondered if you could actually cook the cupcakes directly in them and how much batter is needed to get the right shape. So you’re site has been invaluable! Thanks. Love the how to get the cupcakes out of them demo too! I shall go off and start baking with them.

Like I mentioned in my post, I usually tell my cupcake taste testers to gently go round the circumference and pull in an opposite outward motion to undo the pleats. Since I bake so much most of my family and friends are pros at unpleating now but newbies still give me a “how the heck do I eat this?” look so it’s a constant question I get. Sometimes for big parties where I don’t have time to explain to each guest how to eat their cupcake I’ll cut a little slit at the top and fold down into a triangle so they know where to start. The spoon idea is very cute too!

I know this is an old post but I thought I’d leave a comment anyway in the off chance that you might read it. I’ve used these to make cupcakes for parties and the guests are always confused about how they should eat them. Should they gently pull the cup apart? Should they just rip them apart risking sending the cupcake flying across the room? I finally started putting plastic spoons in about 10 of the cupcakes on the serving table and setting a bowl or cup of more spoons nearby. Ta-da! It’s like a little piece of cake in its own bowl!

EV, Thanks for the tip! I’ve seen them in the Michaels but like you said it isn’t the best deal for your money. It works in a pinch though!

Hi, just a note. I found the cups at Micheal’s and also at Joeanne’s Fabrics. There’s only 24 in the pack. Not a big amount.

I actually didn’t find that blog until it had ended. I have a new cupcake obsession, and love that blog!! I will try giving mine a light spray and see what happens. It was actually a banana bread recipe that I added two containers of yogurt to, and thought I’d try it in the paper cups. I think it was too dense and just stuck to the cup. It baked great in my loaf pans though. Thanks so much!! :o)

MJ, Isn’t it a bummer that Cheryl closed down her blog? I was so sad that day. She’s one of my cupcake idols. As for the PNCs. Mine are paper. I don’t spray mine but I know some ppl do a light spray. Give it a try and see how it works for you! GL!

Hi! Cupcake Bakeshop is shut down for comments, so I thought I’d ask you! Do you have to spray or flour the inside of the party nut cups? I just bought a ton of them yesterday – because I finally found someone in town that sells them! – and I baked one cupcake in them as a trial, and it stuck to the sides and bottom. Failed attempt #1.
Mine are paper, not waxed. Are yours waxed? Or do you spray them? Help!!

KRISTINA, now dying them different colors would be a fun idea! Let me know how your experiment goes! :)
