I called Wilton and was told that they are not oven safe - even though they list them on their website under 'Cupcake Baking Cups'.
This is sooo disappointing. Sadly I have been using them to bake cupcakes in. Nothing bad has happened (that I know of - lol but since they are not made to be heated I won't take the chance again.
They are the only brand I have access to. Does anyone know if other brands are oven safe? |

I'm not sure of another provider...but that is a bummer....I was about to make 6 dozen cupcakes with those cups tonight. You said they did work for you in the oven right? I still might try, I don't have anything else to use. I wanted to use these becuase I'd be baking for hours otherwise, just don't have that many cupcake pans... 
If anyone has any other info of this please respond!!  |

Yes they did work for me in the oven - no fires LOL Also the cupcakes tasted fine to me.
My only concern would be - is food safe? I asked about it being food safe, and she repeated that they were not oven safe. I couldn't get out of her if oven safe meant food safe to her or something else. Once I pointed out that they are listed in the Cupcake Baking Cups section, she couldn't get off the phone fast enough. Maybe others should try calling and asking. |

my logic says that they are food safe because they are made for food....I think they are not considered oven safe because they are coated in a wax finish so that they are leak resistent... they react much like wax paper in the oven...
check at your local restaurant supply for a paper condiment cup - I think a 3 oz. cup is comparable - |

Wilton is making new nut cups that are bright withe and shiney... perhaps she is talking about those? I only know because my husband pickd some up for me and he came home with these odd looking ones (still Wilton brand) and I tried them on a few extras and they smelled horrid (like burning plastic) when cooking. |

I don't know if they updated their website after your call, but it specifically says NOT FOR BAKING: http://www.wilton.com/store/si.....EE085D7D1F
And these look like the regular matte finish not the new ones someone else mentioned.
Good Luck finding a comparable item - I'm sure someone out there makes one  |

hmmm, i wonder if I put the paper liners in the nut cups if they will bake ok? I guess I'll just have to test some, I have to do 6 dozen tonight...I'll let everyone know what happens...there are two different flavors so I better test both batters as they are completely different (Devils Chocolate and Red Velvet)!
I was just trying to save time by baking more on a sheet tray, otherwise I guess I'll just have to use my cupcake pans...the old-fashioned-way  |

They definitely updated the website since I called them a few hours ago. |

I used them anyways today. The ones I bought don't have the waxy finish on them. My oven didn't burn up, either! |

I used both kinds last night...and tried with papers in and with them out and both worked fine...Maybe they are ok for baking at around 350 degrees, but nothing really high?? The old ones got a little discolored while the new ones held up perfectly. |

Interesting! Don't a lot of people just bake in a regular liner and then put the cupcake in the nut liner? Or am I way off base on that one? |
