cup cake silicone moulds

the other day i wandered into A-supermart...
and this time they have silicone cup cake moulds, 6 for $2.50 - are you serious?! so i brought 4 packs...
when i got home, i opened all the packaging (how much plastic can they use to house these little moulds! surely they can reduce the packaging and reduce the already rock bottom sale price even further)... the moulds are nice and bright, v thin (expected), come on, at less than 50c a mould...


i repeated a batch of the plum and cinnamon upsidedown cake, but without the plum, without the cinnamon... no upsidedown... instead i scooped a spoonful of batter into each little moulds and added a teasp full of my homemade peach jam (which has acquired a fizzy (fermented) tang since i made it several months ago)


the bitezise cup size was excellent! instead of having hundreds and hundreds of calories each time i eat a piece (or 2) at a time, i would be eating a portion-control little cupcake and feel satisfied...
and it could be conveniently stored into our big bowl!

conclusion - moulds are great and the cup cakes = success! (and the 24 of them (equivalent of 1 cake) lasted a week!)
