Lesley Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I bought a set of these yesterday...... http://www.lakeland.co.uk/funny-feet-cupcake-cases/F/keyword/easter/product/13622 I shall make the chickeny cupcakes in them and will give them to 2 grandchildren and nephew and neice - they all have plenty of chocolate and I like to give them something different. They are a bit squashed in the box so mine are sitting in the kitchen with apples in at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 At the moment the apples aren't working! - silicone keeps its shape............but I don't want them to keep the squashed shape ! I'll give them a few days and then will contact Lakeland if they're not nice and round. Do you think they will produce a round cake? - will the heat of the oven sort them out?

sunshinesupernova Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 generally yes - sqashed moulds generally come back to shape very quickly with heat. Sometimes they can look a little lopsided if they've been in storage until you shove your cake in the oven. Mine always come out straight.

Lesley Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Thank-you - I'll have a go at making some cakes in them then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 I was going to say the heat should sort them out too Look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Well, I'm still disappointed with them - they didn't produce a properly round cake I made little chick toppers to go on them and slightly overfilled the cases so that the cake was domed. The cake rose straight up so I had to trim them a bit. I was pleased enough with them but I think the packaging could be a little bette - I shall email Lakeland.
