I see all the cupcakes with the cute wrappers. The colors on the wrappers looks so bright and colorful. Mine look dull, greasy and look like they have been cooked. What's everyone's secret? How do they stay looking brand new?

I've seen some that are waxed they seem to keep the color better, but what most folks seem to do is place the cupcake in the liners after they are baked (2 cupcake liners).

Here is where I get mine, http://www.etsy.com/search_results.php?search_query=cupcake+liners&search_type=supplies you want liners that are greaseproof. Also you can make your own wrappers to set the cupcakes in after they are baked. You make them out of scrapbook paper. hth

Thanks so much for posting this link....I've been looking all over the net for some specific baking cups and they were on etsy ! You just made my day - thanks again!

If you make your own cupcake wrappers, you can also fancy them up with zig zag scissors.

Thanks very much!

I've tried putting the cupcake in the liners after they are baked, however some of my liners seemed to have stretched and it didn't look good.

Thanks for the Etsy link! I love Etsy so this will give me another excuse to go on there!

I wouldn't buy any on etsy. If you can get them direct from the wholesalers and you save a ton. They usually require you to get 1,000 liners at a time but if you bake often or know someone you could split them with it is totally worth it to do the research and find out who sells the liners you really want.

fsinger84,
I know what you mean about the cost savings...with the specific liner that I'm looking for (with the ruffled / frilled edge) the only wholeseller that I can find so far is out of china and he will only sell me 100,000 units ( !!!)...so my search is still on. Whole Foods uses these jumbo liners for their cupcakes and of course they will not tell me their source ( like I'm such a big threat, lol)

If you contact the seller on etsy some will give you wholesale prices starting at so many, like 500. I can't seem to find place to buy any at wholesale prices besides viking importing. Also I charge my customers for the liners so I don't mind paying etsy prices.

Reynolds just came out with a line of Stay bright wrappers that are foil inside and pattern or solid color outside. My Kroger carries some of them but you can get them online at Reynolds.com. The best is they have solid black and some neon colors. I don't think they're expensive either.

Here are a few great links!

Also, Global Sugar Art and Fancy Flours have started to carry quite a big selection of cupcake liners. My favorite are the Glassine liners - they really keep their color through baking.

Here are pics of some that I'm looking for:
(these are the new wilton ones) - but I'm trying to find jumbo size like my local Whole Foods does

and these or similar:

and a good price on regular sized brown and white polka dot liners

Can you believe that I found The Circle Cups, (greaseproof ) from a local TJMaxx!!!

I'm glad this was posted....I'm looking for grad cupcake liners in orange and black. I was just gonna bake the white and cherry cakes in orange liners and the chocolate cake in the black liners. I'm pretty new to cupcakes so I didnt' realize there were greaseproof! Obviously, they would help keep the color!!!! Duhhhh....

I made cupcake wrappers for my Aunts party last week. It was sort of a Hawaiian theme so I made wrappers with bright construction paper. I used some smaller flower cutters for fondant to trace and cut out then hot glued on. I also used my wrapper template to create an upper trim and then on another flavor a lower trim. They looked "funky". Not perfect you know...which was okay because she's an easy breezy kind of lady anyway...

The only thing was I didn't line with wax paper and I had to make sure I didn't get my buttercream rubbing on the wrapper or the butter/shortening would have soaked through. I only had a few that did this, so I could hide them. But, I'll for sure line them next time. Lots of work & a cricut cutter thingy would have been a time saver but unfortunately don't have one!

Thanks for all the links posted I'll check them out right away for my grad party liners!!!

fsinger84,
Where do you think the best place (wholesale for greaseproof , colored, or glassine baking cups is ?
I tried contacting that Novacartusa last week - I found their info from a cupcake blog and they have never responded to voice message or email...so I'm waiting to hear back.
