Loose bottom cupcake tin recipes

    Hi all

    I have a 12 hole mini cupcake tin with loose bottoms (like you'd use for a cheesecake). Other than normal sponge recipes (like victoria or chocolate) anyone have any other ideas?

    I bought them for a really specific purpose and haven't used them since!

    Thanks :)

    I have a couple of those tins, I use them for cheesecakes and mini dessert like things, chocolate mousse etc :)

    I have not used them to bake anything, I can't think what you would use them for other than mini victoria sandwiches or something.

    Some of these you might need to use little cases or else line your cupcake tin for but they're cute!

    I've made the bacon & egg toast cups in my mini muffin tin

    Some great recipes there but you could use the bog standard bun tins for those, the fancy loose bottomed ones don't seem to have major use other than cheesecake.

    I spend my time counting the little metal circles convinced I will lose some and render my tin useless :)

    I use mine to make things like individual apple bakewell type cakes, shortbread base/apple filling/almond sponge with a crunchy crumble topping, & if I've got time to make custard I swirl some into the sponge before adding the crumble.
    Yeast bread bakes really well in them, the individual portions are handy.
    Also good for brownies-baked in 10mins

    Can I ask where did you buy them I think they are a great idea for making individual cakes like cheesecake, etc.

    Make little tart cases from mushed up digestives and stuff with nice things?

    Or pastry.

    Here's an american pic... They've melted a mini mars bar into a base, put a giant marshmallow on top and put melted chocolate on top.
