Mini Cupcake Cups White, 200 pieces

Small, white, tapered – and yet the starting point for countless baking creations. These mini cupcake cases are more than just a baking tin: they are the basis for everything the bakery produces. With a base diameter of 3 cm, a top opening of 4 cm and a height of 2.2 cm, they are sized for a true mini cupcake – compact enough for a petit four or a praline tartlet, large enough for a moist mini muffin or a chocolatey brownie bite. The tapered shape ensures the batter bakes evenly and the finished small cake releases cleanly from the case once cooled. With 200 cases per pack in classic white, the bakery is ready for any occasion – from a small family celebration to a large dessert buffet.

The cases can be used with any cupcake or muffin batter. Prepare the batter according to your recipe and fill the paper baking cups directly. It makes a difference whether it is a cupcake or a muffin recipe: cupcake batter can be filled to the rim, as it barely rises. Muffin batter, however, still rises during baking – so only fill the case about two-thirds full, so the muffin does not spill over the edge. Place the filled cases on a cupcake baking tray – this way they keep their shape and bake evenly. After baking, let the small cakes cool completely before decorating. And then the most enjoyable part begins: decorating. Whether with buttercream, ganache, cream cheese frosting or fondant – the range of decorating options is endless. The white cases make a clean, timeless statement and let the decoration take centre stage. For colour accents, simply add coloured sprinkles, edible flowers or chocolate decorations – and every mini cupcake becomes an eye-catcher.

A cupcake – literally «cup cake» – is a small cake baked in a cup-sized baking tin and then elaborately decorated. The name goes back to the American cook Amelia Simmons, who is said to have first baked the batter in a cup in 1796. Today the paper case replaces the cup – the principle is the same. Cupcakes are the little siblings of the large cake: sweet, artfully decorated and a true eye-catcher. A muffin, on the other hand, is a small cake without elaborate topping – compact, simple and rising lightly during baking. It is less sweet than a cupcake and needs no decoration at all. Its exact origin is unclear – it is thought to derive from the French «moufflet» (soft bread) or from the North German «Muffen» pastry.

These cases are not only for baking – they are just as suitable for presenting and giving. Arranged in a box or on a cake stand, the white cases cut an elegant figure at any dessert buffet. Packed as a small gift in a clear box and sealed with a ribbon, the mini cupcakes become a loving present that comes from the heart.
