Silicone bakeware is never non-stick. Yes, spray it and spray it well! 
( Did you read the use & care card? 
)
Not sure which one you are referring to, but the cupcake size one doesn't require flour-sprays, but the other does recommend it. The Use & Care is your best source for that info for your particular product. If you didn't save it, you can find it on CC under the Products & Recipes-> Pampered Chef Products -> Product Information -> Use and Care.
