Embellishing Muffin Molds

Quirky Bake Shapes Initiate Cupcake Decoration in the Batter Stage

— April 10, 2013 — Art & Design
Icing, fruit and sprinkles are not the only sorts of items that can enhance the aesthetics of your sweet oven-cooked creations, for these Quirky Bake Shapes serve up a means for you to begin the prettification process before the confectionery has even been introduced to heat. This is a collection of decorative muffin toppers that allow you to influence the eventual forms that your cupcakes will take.

Six different designs encourage the rising batter to react in a way that's different from the natural dome-shaped expansion. Place the colorful silicone lids over each 2-inch muffin cup and they will cause the scrumptious mixtures to fill out with dimpled, rounded or triangular caps. Bunt-shaped Quirky Bake Shapes provide convenient holes in the middles that seem to ask for a double serving of whipped cream.
Trend Themes
1. Decorative Muffin Molds - Companies can create decorative muffin molds that either enhance or disrupt traditional muffin shapes, allowing bakers to create unique designs and art.
2. Pre-baking Decorations - Pre-baking decorations like Quirky Bake Shapes allow for innovative baking techniques and encourage creativity in the baking industry.
3. Silicone Lid Innovation - Silicone lids with unique shapes and designs can be used beyond baking and inspire various industrial applications such as packaging or product design.
Industry Implications
1. Baking - The baking industry can adopt varying shapes and designs of muffin molds to offer creative and customized muffin products for consumers.
2. Kitchenware - Companies can innovate their kitchenware product lines by introducing pre-baking decoration tools like the Quirky Bake Shapes.
3. Manufacturing - Manufacturing industries can adopt and innovate silicone material production to offer new silicone products or to improve existing products and its applications.
