Uses for Cupcake Liners

If this woman is not ingenious I don’t know who is! Check out this great post from Thrifty Florida Mama on uses for a cupcake liner. My favorites are below and I’ll put those into practice for Anthony’s second birthday party, especially the ice cream 
1. I like to bake brownies in cupcake liners. Before I started doing this we ended up with brownie crumbs everywhere in our house. These smushed dark blobs are not fun to get out of carpet! So I started baking my brownies in the liners. We have almost zero brownie mess now and the bonus for us is that there are no edge pieces. I know there are many people who only want the edge pieces, but not us. We are inside pieces people. It is nice to send brownies to classroom parties in these liners too because they are easier to hand out to kids.
2. I use cupcake liners to serve ice cream at my kids’ birthday parties. I just scoop out the ice cream a couple of hours before the party, stick them on a cookie sheet and put back into the freezer. When it is cake and ice cream time I pull out the tray and put the liner full of ice cream on the kids’ plates. This means that the melting ice cream doesn’t touch the cake on the plate either; a cardinal sin for some kids!
