Do it in the stoneware fluted pan if you have it. That continues to be a WOW recipe (you mean I can microwave in the stones?) and leads right into talking about the special next month. AND the fact that the unglazed prices are going up so they will want to get them NOW.
If you have the silicone cupcake pan you could do it in there but then I would make the frosting a glaze (so you can see the shapes) and then spinkle the confetti on the serving plate around the cupcakes.
