Hi. Does anyone have any suggestions on using the pretty printed cupcake liners. The ones with designs on them. It seems like whenever I use them especially with a dark batter like chocolate or red velvet the cake is so dark that you can't see the design on the liner. Any suggestions??

AWhen I want to have pretty cupcake liners that show up, I bake the cupcakes in regular, white liners and then put them into the pretty liners after decorating.

ATry searching for the liners by Swedish company House of Marie. Theirs are totally greaseproof and made of really thick paper so you can't see the cake in them.

AHouse of Marie is actually a Dutch company, not Swedish.

AI stand corrected!

Has anyone ever eaten the House of Marie wafer paper sprinkles?  Is that like the cornstarch (edible) Easter grass?  Just wondered what the taste/texture was like.  Seems like most people would want to try to brush it off before eating.
