Cupcake liners are small, often colorful paper or silicone cups used to hold individual cupcakes. They help keep the cupcakes from sticking to the baking pan and make for easy serving and cleanup. Liners come in various sizes, shapes, and designs, allowing bakers to add a decorative touch to their treats. These liners are typically placed in a muffin tin before pouring in the batter. Once baked, the cupcakes can be easily removed from the liners, which also help to retain moisture and flavor. Many people enjoy using cupcake liners for special occasions, such as birthdays or celebrations.
