Cupcake liners are small disposable molds designed to hold the cupcake batter during baking. They are generally made of waxed paper or silicone, which makes it easy to remove the cupcakes without breaking them. Their main function is to maintain the cupcake's shape, prevent the batter from sticking to the pan, and simplify presentation and serving.
Origin: Liners emerged with the popularization of cupcakes in the United States and were quickly adopted in global baking due to their practicality. Although their use is widespread throughout the world, they are also a key element in Anglo-Saxon baking.
Properties: Cupcake liners are heat-resistant and designed to withstand baking in an oven at common baking temperatures (between 160 and 180 ºC). Paper ones are usually disposable and allow for a clean and attractive presentation, while silicone ones are reusable and eco-friendly. They help maintain hygiene, facilitate handling of the cupcakes, and provide a colorful or thematic aesthetic depending on the liner's design.
Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: In different Spanish-speaking countries, cupcake liners are also known as pirotines, cápsulas para cupcakes, moldes para cupcakes, or simply papeletas in some regions. Regardless of the name, their function is the same.
