They sweet-tasting product lets you bake cupcakes without using a specialized cupcake pan because it is 100% bake stable and free-standing. This means you can bake cupcakes using just a regular baking pan when using the edible cupcake wrappers.

They are made from ingredients including corn starch, potato starch, rice starch, vegetable oil, beet root and black concentrates.
