I had someone ask me for some square cupcakes and my mind is drawing a blank. It's for a birthday party & they want it to be different. I've been trying to google it. Needing some help here. What am I missing ... something tells me it's really simple that I'm over looking.

I have a silverwood multisize pan with extra dividers. I always thought I could put regular cupcake liners in those for square cupcakes. Marcela Capo does that in her cupcake book, but she uses individual square 'tins'. Also you can buy square muffin tins fairly easily.

These are rectangular, but you can trim them:

I found a square cupcake pan at Walmart!
couldn't believe it! and it's sturdy and quite nice.

I use regular cupcake liners and they come out very nice.

I made regular coconut cupcakes to take to work and then made the same cupcakes in the square pan and took to work a month later. One lady swore that the square ones were soooo much better than the ones I had brought before. Same recipe, tasted exactly the same to me. LOL!

I think it's ck products that makes the square cupcake pan(one of the white ones you can bake in) and the liners that go with it.

this is the pan I meant, it's made by circulon

GourmetSharon,

That is funny but so true. I know people that swear that difference colored MM's taste different.

ALSO, you can bake a sheet pan and cut your cake with a square cutter , if you don't want to buy the pan right now..that works too! Only thing with that is that you end up with some wasted cake,,but you can use that cake for cake balls or cake pops! Just a thought..but use a large square cutout to do it so it is not a petite four size, but reg. size cupcake size. Hope this helps

They are about 3" wide and 1" deep

Wilton also sells a square cupcake pan. I bought mine at Walmart.

Ok great...I'm gonna compare to find the best pans.

On the sheet cake idea...that really wouldn't work for this one ... cause they are going to pick up these cupcakes by hand at a party & don't want to be restricted to a plate. So that would be very messy.

I think this is going to turn out great

Thanks everyone

I guess they want cupcakes like that cupcakery in California that's supposedly the only one in the country that makes square cupcakes. They've been in business for about 3 years.

In one of the photos you can see a kid eating one of them. Their wrappers are just straight pieces of parchment, not wrinkled.

I know some people use the square baking rings, but they're pricey.

I also have the Silverwood pan zespri has and I think that's just the best. And there's this one from the same brand that global sugar art has...but pricey too.
