My other hobby besides baking and cooking are collecting cake or jelly moulds and cookie cutters. I just can't stop buying every time when looking at pretty moulds or cute cutters. I was so happy to say
YES! when
Sarah-Jane of Silicone Moulds.Com emailed me saying she wanted to send me some of her
silicone mould products. Ta...da!! I received the package last week and these are the silicone moulds that Sarah-Jane to me. Sarah-Jane sent a Crown Muffin for baking huge size muffins or cupcakes, Sponge Finger mould, spatula, some pretty cases and her latest product Fancy Hearts Silicone mould. Please check on Sarah-Jane's blog and her products at
SiliconeMoulds.Com for more information, you'll not regret enjoy reading her interesting sites.
The silicone moulds are so easy to store. Look how flexible the crown muffin mould it is, I can just fold the mould and stuff it in my measuring cup.
Grease the new mould when used for the first time. Place silicone mould on a baking tray before filling as support when placing in the oven. It is very easy to remove the muffins from the mould when still a little warm. Gently press the bottom while peeling back the mould and pull the sides away. The silicone mould is also very easy to clean, no scrapping...just wash it with soapy water and that is done.
