Has anyone made cup-cakes, using the pretty colour

ed cases! I've made some and not only was I not to taken with the 'smell' when they were baking, but I can 'taste' them in the cupcake.I was just wondering if anyone else has had this!

That doesn't sound good. What brand did you use! Good cupcake cases shouldn't leave any smell or taste at all.

No, I have never had that problem, Where did you get the cases from elsielaurie !
Editing to add if you have any left I would definitely take them back.

I bought them through Trademe. This is the 1st time I've used them, thankfully, not for their intended purpose, for my grand-daughter's birthday! I'll try and trace who I bought them off.:-{

Yes, I bought some (also through TM) last year because I liked the colours, but I believe the wax melted and affected the cupcakes. Now I stick to boring, but well known brands.

Just bake them in regular cases and pop them into the fancy ones when you are ready to display them.

I binned them! I'd rather use the shelf space for something that I'm going to use.lol.

I never buy the fancy cases because they always seem to stick to the cake or muffin which is a waste of good baking.I stick now to Mrs Rogers as they seem to be the only ones that don't stick at all.
