Hi rabbit8, I think you are asking if the cupcake will hold the shape by itself? No, the liner needs to go into a muffin/cupcake pan. Otherwise, it would spread out as the batter bakes. If you don't have a muffin pan, you could try putting the liners in an 8x8 dish or pan or another size dish where the liners touch each other so they don't have space to spread.

I cannot believe I went on this long without taking the time to search online why this was happening! I'm so glad to see i'm not crazy and losing my touch! I also never had issues previously with liners peeling! Now, depending on how moist my recipe is (chocolate that was a syrup plus a ganache filling is the key star over here!!!) the liners peels off mid way between taking them off to being put in a tupperware. NO MORE tupperware for me neither, they are a disaster for my liners. After reading these post, i ran to my cupboard an examined all my liners. The cheap one from the dollar store never peel but are so thin that the edges fold in when you poor the batter so i am finishing those off for some morning blueberry muffins or anything that doesn't leave my house :) The other one, the reynolds foils ones, don't peel off in a matter like the paper ones do as they keep their shape but you can definitely see that they are loose when you pick them up (But at least they stay presentable!). The 3rd ones, my new favourites as they keep their colour and don't ever fold in, ARE WAXED inside!!!! urgggggg I had never ever noticed that after reading this post. PS: they are no longer my favourite :( I have some white restaurant type ones here that don't seem to be waxed inside. I am doing a trial and if this works i guess i will decorate the others by putting the cupcake in a coloured one after baking.... but this is so much nonsense! I wish this wasn't such an issue! Thank you everyone for posting this... it will save me hour of waisted work as i cannot send these out to customers like this!!!

Lukki is right about boards; they help you think, and I have been doing them since I was a teenager. I've even saved my late mother's house boards from a college project. However, the ends to which we use them are soooo different. I think the easiest to work with are big form boards with faint lines at the half-inch. For my current house, I cut strips of blue painters tape for walls, which need to move, and taped on pretty scrap book paper for furniture, applicances, etc. I have so many paint chips over the years that I may well owe SW and BM money! Fabric is my biggest weakness--I rub the between my fingers, move them to different lights. (looking at your stuff, you may want to look at the marrimekko site). And I have executed exactly one of them. It was a 6" x8" kitchen. To me, "done" means, "I perfected it all in 2004 !!!" Furthermore, some perfectly decorated houses are very hostile to visit, as my clothes don't coordinate or something. "Grandma's kitchen"? It was "done" --all fresh and stylish once. Definately have fun with design boards. Then the next time you are looking for shoes and spot a crazy light fixture, you can say, "wow! The the black works with my surround, thing-a-ma-jigs are the same shape as those lanterns in my backsplash, and look! That not gold, it's yellow! I could hang it ____!" Or you love it and know it won't work as it, but if you change.... Since you asked, neutrals for resale make me tired. Live with the blue you like and paint it only if you want to. The mirror? So dated it is practically retro and I would absolutely keep it. The little part around the corner doesn't reflect your water, but probably cannot be removed with damaging the corner, my first thought would be a tall, skinny metal palm tree with green and white Christmas tree lights on it. You can do better. Can you raid your gandma's? For the main mirror, I can think of a whole bunch of things I would try out --most would not work my first attemp (if ever!), but when I got it right It would be fresh again and I would smile. You cannot ever work out your reflective or light-related stuff on a board--but this is about your backsplash and I digress. sounds like you are going with the wavy stainless. I never get to perfect, but you are close with that one!

It should not pill. Polyester is a great fabric to use for furniture. Check the tag under the cushions…does it say it is 100% poly? Not blended with anything else? For instance, blended with wool, then yes, a poly could pill. Another thought…the “rubs” attributed to the fabric will also support its durability. 50,000 rubs is telling you that you have to get in and out of the chair 50,000 times for friction to do damage. That isn’t a scientific description, but the easiest for us consumers to understand. “ The (manufacturer) doth protest too much, me thinks”.
