  2. Hello Namr, you can do it either way. If you are baking with chocolate cake sometimes the papers aren’t as vivid especially when they are white.

  3. I love these! In fact, I’m copying them for our church Halloween party tomorrow! One quick question. I ordered the chevron baking cups. I read here that you didn’t bake in them but slide them in after.

  4. I know they look small, but I baked the cupcakes in regular white liners in a standard (not Wilton, they seem large) muffin tin and then put them in. You can also bake directly in the cups. Fill the cups about half full. Thanks Kendra!

  5. Hey Cindy! I love these! In fact, I’m copying them for our church Halloween party tomorrow! One quick question. I ordered the chevron baking cups. I read here that you didn’t bake in them but slide them in after. I’m afraid if I bake the cupcakes in liners in the muffin tin, they won’t fit in the baking cup later. Did you do mini cupcakes? Is it ok to bake in them (will it distort the color of the cups or anything?)?

    Thanks for the great idea!
