I love pretty cupcake liners! Whenever I post cupcakes in pretty colored liners like I did for my Vanilla Cupcakes or my daughter’s Ladybug Birthday I get lots of questions about where I buy my liners. Most of the questions have to do with why the liners I use keep their color so well, and yet most of the liners you may try lose their color/pattern when you bake in them. There is no “secret technique” that I’m using, just better liners. Most cute printed liners found in craft stores lose their color/pattern when they are baked in. The colored liners I (most often) use are labeled either “greaseproof” or “glassine“. Those are the terms you want to look for if you want to bake in colored liners, and have them keep (most of) their color. Vanilla cupcakes, or light colored batters will keep the liners the most vibrant, but good quality liners should keep most of their color even with chocolate batter. Another option if you want to use up colored liners you have (that are not greaseproof), is to bake the cupcakes in white liners, then set the cupcakes (with the white liners) in the colored/patterned liners before serving.
These are a few of my favorite sources for beautiful cupcake liners (again, look for “greaseproof” or “glassine” if you want them to hold their color).
Bakers Stock (great for brown or white liners in bulk)
I like to store some of my pretty liners in glass jars, for easy access and a colorful display.
Happy Baking!
I like you both on Facebook. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
I don't know where you are located, but Sweet recently opened a store in Lawrence, KS (I think they have one in Topeka, too) and if you ever have a chance to visit, do it! It's a great shop and the ladies are so kind.

Friends and customers,
After much deliberation and thought, Simply Caked is closing our
doors, effective May 1, 2012.
Anu and Marcella have decided to pursue other business directions
independently. While saddened by this decision, we are also excited
about the new directions and opportunities ahead of us – and doing
what truly brings us happiness.
We consider ourselves very fortunate to have done business with all of
you. Rest assured, up until April 30, 2012, it will be business as
usual; all orders will be fulfilled by Simply Caked.
Thank you for your loyalty and patronage over the last 3 years.
Happy Baking!
Marcella & Anu

I've noticed that some of your liners, from past posts, seem to be those very stiff (almost like nut cups) and I'm wondering if that's what they were. If so, did you have to spray them for release? Thanks for any help.
Re: Cupcake liners pulling away- I've only had this happen a time or two, and I have no real awswer as to why it happens! It's only happened to me with cupcakes left overnight, in a tupperware or something similar, I think some liners don't handle the moisture well. Sorry I can't be of much help on this one!
This is off topic, but the decoration you have on top of the purple and blue cupcakes would be super cute for my daughter's birthday. How do you make those?
I've had the SAME question for a long time now!! Thanks for enlightening us all 🙂 Love the display in the cute containers!! I just might have to copy you!! 🙂
i am having trouble with my cases soming away from the cupcake can anyone help me as to why i am buying culpit from my cake making shop??? x
This is the information I've been looking for! Thank you!!!
Hi. From one baker to the other I have found by trial and error that baking in two wrappers that have not been separated keeps the color and its original tight shape. I love the wrappers in the glass jars. What a cute idea. 🙂
