Cupcake tins, also known as cupcake pans, are kitchen tools designed specifically for baking cupcakes. They typically have multiple cup-shaped indentations that hold the batter while it bakes, allowing for even cooking and easy removal. Most cupcake tins are made from metal or silicone, and they come in various sizes, usually accommodating six to twelve cupcakes at a time. These tins often feature a non-stick coating, which helps prevent the cupcakes from sticking and makes cleanup easier. Some cupcake tins are designed with decorative shapes or patterns, adding a fun touch to baked goods. Using cupcake liners can further simplify the baking process and enhance presentation.
