Has anyone used it yet??? I may have just gotten myself into using it as a B recipe for my Friday party... will tempt them to get us all together again soon! Ughhhh I'm nervous about using it. :)

Here's something I discovered in my kid's cooking class! When I added a hershey kiss to the batter it sank to the bottom during baking and landed in the centers, right where it should be in the flower. Looked really fancy! And yum!
 
I've read all the posts. Thanks, everyone, for all your input and ideas. I made Cranberry-Orange Relish molds for Thanksgiving. It was from the Kraft Food site. By using half the water normally used, it sets up nice and firm, and will come out in a solid shape. I served all 12 on our 15" sq. SA platter, nesting each on a leaf of Boston lettuce for really festive appearance. RECIPE: One 12 oz.bag of fresh cranberries - chopped really fine in food processor; One 11 oz. can mandarin oranges (drain and save juice to be part of the liquid you bring to a boil for the Jello)-also chopped in the food processor. Add: 1/2 cup white sugar, and set aside. One 8 serving (large) package of either Cranberry Jello or Raspberry Jello. You can use either the regular or sugar free; and 1/2 tsp. of our Cinnamon Plus. Mix Jello and Cinnamon Plus together. Microwave 1 1/2 cup Water/mandarin juice combo, in Classic Batter bowl. Pour Jello mixture into the boiling water, and stir to dissolve. Cool with one cup cold water or 1 tray of ice cubes for fast set up..Stir cranberries/orange mixture into Jello mixture. Spray our Silicone Cupcake pan with PAM or oil from our Kitchen Spritzer. Scoop the Relish mix with our large scoop, into each mold. Wipe any spills, and set in your refrigerator for at least two to three hours. Be certain they have set up before unmolding onto our 15" square Simple Additions.

You can unmold by pressing the bottoms from the center of each mold. You may hear a suction sound that indicates that it has released. If you have any difficulty unmolding some you can press the sides of that individual mold.

I've made these at least four times and when I have cut back on the liquid, it
has made them firmer and easier to pop out of the mold.

Love the cranberry mold idea! Could you see any detail?

I'm soooo excited to share this!!!! I brought these to my daughter's 3rd grade Pancake Breakfast party last week. I used the pan (I have TWO now! ~ love to use these for my kids cooking classes) to make chocolate chip pancakes!!! I sprinkled in mini-chocolate chips in after pouring in the Bisquick (make the cake like ones with vanilla) pancake mix... the chips float to the bottom just like the hershey kisses! And, because of the curved shape they end up in the right places ~ they looked sooooo fancy! I sprinkled powdered sugar over them. One little boy said to me "Mrs. Gentile, these are so good I'm eating mine really slowly"! Is that not the BEST compliment?!!! All the parents were oohing and ahing too.

Is this recipe the original or is it with the smaller amount of liquid as you made it?
 
Breakfast in 20I am going to start telling guests they can have breakfast ready in 20 minutes or so by baking their bacon on the Bar Pan and putting pancake mix in 1/2 of the Silicone Floral Cupcake Pan and eggs in the other 1/2. If they have a lot of people to feed they may need 2 Silicone pans, 1 for eggs and 1 for pancakes. I did this just this morning and the pancakes and eggs were done in 20 minutes at 350 degrees. I did not have bacon today but that is about how long I usually cook it for. I will tell people that the times are not exact and that they will just have to moniter them until they find what works for them.

Were they more tart this way?

Have you really made eggs in there? Do tell how!!!

I followed a different recipe on my bisquick box and they came out tasting like WAFFLES! I served fresh strawberries & sliced kiwi in a medium SA bow, and filled the EA with whipped cream (which had to be filled twice!). My kids were so excited and it truly created a special "event" feel to the occassion. My kids (aged 6 & 8) were thrilled! I had my husband take pictures, so I'll share them if he has one without the kids. :)
 
I made eggs in the pan this morning, and they turned out AWESOME! I cracked one egg into a prep bowl then plopped it in the well of the cupcake pan. So, one at a time I did it. I tried the pancakes, and they turned out good too. I had seen on here that someone added chocolate chips to theirs and the chips sunk to the bottom so they were in the right spot on the flower. That totally didn't happen for me. They just stayed on the tops of the pancakes, which for this pan is the bottom of the design, not where they should be. Did you use a special batter? Very good though.

This is going to be my Mother's Day brunch recipe this year!

LOVE IT!

Oh, and definitely share about the eggs at your shows. I told people about this today and made the brownies beforehand. I dipped the tops in the microwaved frosting at the show and sprinkled with powdered sugar. I sold two or three of them to people who had NO intention of buying it before. They told me they bought it specifically to make eggs. So, thank you!
Jane :)
 
Reese's flower cupsI am anxious to try a new recipe in my silicone floral cupcake pan for Reese's flower cups. I will let you know how it goes.
I just get chocolate (candy melts in several colors) and melt it then add it to the mold. Let that harden. Then add a peanut butter, powerdered sugar, and I think milk filling. Then after that hardens in the fridge, top with another layer of the chocolate. It sounds yummy and I am sure the chocolate will really hold that mold shape.

Debbie :D
 
Debbie -- You will LOVE them. They turn out fabulous. :)
 
Oh I love the egg idea!!! My mom used to put bacon in a muffin pan and then crack an egg on top, when they were done the bacon was like a "cup" for the egg. Now I'm going to have to try it both ways:D
 
I'm thinking about making ice cubes by filling half with water and dropping in a piece of fruit (not sure what type of punch i'm going to be making yet...) freezing that and then filling the cup with a fruit juice. I thought this would make a pretty ice cube. I'm going to serve the punch in my trifle bowl... now if we only had a pretty ladle...
 
Maybe that will be one of the new fall items, Alison.
 
Just think Rae... only 78 days until we find out!!! Yay wave 2!
 
I'm so excited I'm driving my DH crazy! He asked me the other day how long until "this thing" is over. I reminded him that I'm pumped for weeks after I get back. He just groaned. It's a good thing he loves me so much!
 
lol... I was living at home last year at conference time and my dad and his gf were SICK of me rambling about PC so much... this year I'm on my own and very thankful that a fellow consultant lives about 7 minutes away from me as I think I would go nuts having nobody to tell everything too!!!

Did you scramble them first????

About the pancakes... I don't know why my chips sank that day. They haven't sunk since! lol. I'm going to try just sprinkling them in mid-way then fill the rest. The hershey do sink to the bottom (unless it's me pushing them in there).

Use punch and it won't "waterdown" your punch. I've heard these are bottom heavy though and flip so the bottoms are on top. Good luck though.

I did beat them in the prep bowls before I poured them in. I also tried just cracking one directly in the pan and not scrambling it. It cooked but didn't really hold the shape. Still good though.

Do you think it would work with the pancakes if you put the chips in first then poured the batter over them? Just a thought.

Thanks,
Jane :)

My DH is sooooo thankful that I have all of you to talk to about this stuff. It's taken a lot of the burden off him. He's very patient, but I can tell when he's reached PC overload.

Of course, now he hears CS stories. They're a little more entertaining for him, though.
 
Another Great Use For The Silicone Floral Pan Is Jello! You Can Spray The Pan With Pam Or Just Put Jello In It. When You Want To Remove Them, Fill Sink Bottom With Warm Water About 1/2". Set Floral Silicone Pan In Water For 15 To 30 Seconds, Then Tip Pan Slightly And Press Center Of Flowers With Fingers To Pop Out. Pop Out Into Your Hand And Then Place On A Simple Additions Plate. You Can Add Fruit ****tail Or Cottage Cheese Or Just Make Them Plain. Mandarin Oranges Look Pretty In Them Also.
 
great tip Suzie, Thanks

Here's another recipe for the SIlicone Cupcake Pan:

Mayo Muffins

1 1/2 cup self rising flour
1 cup milk
2 heaping tablespoons mayo (not reduced fat)

Mix together in small batter bowl. Scoop with medium sccop into cupcake wells that have been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

For variety, add cinnamon & sugar or Italian Seasoning or Dill or Resemary Herb... to batter.

(got this recipe from my upline)

I'm trying these tonight for dessert since I just got my pan. Can you tell me how much cinnamon and sugar to add? THanks!! I can't wait to try these! :) I'm going to do these with my daycare for Mother's Day. so I'm practicing on my family!!!
 
Has anyone used this to make beer bread or other quick breads?
 
I made the peanut butter cups someone posted in the files. We made these for Teacher Appreciation Week as well as for Mother's Day. My daycare kids helped me make these for their moms. I tested them yesterday and they taste AMAZING! The only thing I tweaked was I had to make it thinner on top (the part touching for detail) otherwise they were too thick. But the PB filling is YUMMY! These molds work SO well with chocolate - much better than the flimsy plastic ones at the craft store. Thanks to whoever posted! :)

I tried it today, and the beer bread turned out great! I only baked it 35 minutes though. Very good though!
 
My silicone cupcake pan suddenly is all sticky. I don't think I've done anything different with it, but when I went to get it out to display at a fair, it was all gross and sticky. I have tried to wash it three times since with no luck. Anyone have any tips?
TIA,
Jane :)
