Put silicone Baking Parchment down first, and they won't stick to the cooling rack - it's a little messy trying to get them off the cooling rack especially if any of the cupcake squishes through the holes!

God Bless and take Care!

How do you pop them out of the silicone pan so that they still hold their shape?
 
sorry, they are not baked they do taste like reeses
I have popped them in the freezer for a short amount of time if you put enuff chocolate to make a thick shell they will be ok
 
Reeses You also do not fill them to the top or you will be sick
As the potatoes bake they get "stiff" or crunchy" or haven't had any problem with them
 
Ok, so does this look accurate for detailed instructions?

sorry, both of those recipes were my grandmothers & I'm tired and I typoed them just like she had them except whre I inserted our products
You do not want to pray the pan for the PB cups I don't rememebr typing that but it was wrong!!

I think I freeze it first, You also want to"paint" the sides with your spoon so it forms a shell.
the sugar, PB and marg mix with your mixer
I used the large SS scoop to fill then add the crust and then more choc. to seal it like a reg. Reeses stick in fridge for a while
When I was growing up we used to do it in the mini muffin foil liners for Christmas
try it in a 9 x 13 first you'll love it and it will be less work.
Apologies for my vague directions I assume everyone cooks & writes recipes like I do
 
Thanks Teresa, the spray was from a previous PB cup recipe I had so I figured it was done here too and you'd just left it out. See how foolish I can be when I assume? :p

I'm updating the silicone floral booklet with your recipes and wanted to make sure they were complete.

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to mention that I did a recipe demo of the molten chocolate cakes at my cluster meeting last night. I baked them for 13 minutes, but when I took them out of the oven, people were still presenting an activity and it was about 10-15 minutes before anyone actually ate them. By that time, residual heat had done its thing and the centers cooked. So, the moral of the story is to make sure you serve them immediately.I used really good Scharffen Berger chocolate for the demo and the cakes tasted really good. However, they were very, very rich, so another bit of advice is definitely to serve them with the "optional" ice cream to balance everything out.As for rounded bottoms, yes, that does happen. However, the recipe instructions say to invert the cakes onto your serving tray as soon as they come out of the oven, which seems to flatten them a bit. As for sticking, dust your serving tray with powdered sugar before turning out your cakes, and then dust the tops of the cakes.HTH!
 
Great idea onthe powder sugar dusting on the tray. We made the Molten Chocolate Lava cakes at our Cluster Meeting last night. We cooked them for 13 minutes and tried them right away. They were gooey inside, but no liquid came pouring out. We are going to try to cook them 2 minutes less next time and see how that works.

Has anyone had these come out with a liquid center yet?

Wow, that explains what happened with my lava cake (from a box) that I made Friday night, thanks for explaining. :D

All right... no more messin' with Teresa tonight, ya'll (no, I'm not making fun of you with ya'll... I say it all the time!).

BTW... when is the infamous shower? Go eat chocolate, take some Midol and lay down... you'll feel much better!
 
Teresa thanks for the great recipes. No more picking on you just lots and lots of thanks.
 
The shower is Sunday.

14 people out of 51 people I should have had an RSVP from

RUDE RUDE RUDE!!
 
I made little egg cupcakes for breakfast this past weekend in mine and they were wonderful! My director told me to try it. So, I mixed up the following:

12 eggs,
4oz cream cheese
chopped ham
cup of Cheese
salt and pepper

And I filled up the cupcakes and they came out great. If i do it again, I'm cutting back on the eggs, I ended up having enough left over to fill up my loaf pan for a small quiche!
 
Ok, I was so excited about getting this product, but after trying it 4-5 times, I have had it on top of my fridge for months because anything I bake in it sticks horribly so I don't have floral cupcakes, I have broken blob cupcakes. I spray it a little or a lot, and no difference. Does anyone else have that problem, or am I crazy? I would love some help with this!
 
Are you using the spray with flour in it? I think that works best. Baker's Joy, I think it's called.
 
It's been a long time, but I do have the regular spray and the one with flour, so I think I tried it. Couldn't promise though, so I could try it to make sure
 
The two keys are to make sure every little nook and cranny is covered with oil or spray and to let the cupcakes cool for the specified time (I think it's 5-10 minutes) in the pan before turning them out.
