It all started with a silicone baking sheet as Martha Stewart preached the benefits of her Silpat nonstick. Without any additional grease needed, it was easy to clean up, and claimed when used it was hard to burn your baked goods.
Intrigued, I went out and bought my first one and I quickly fell in love with it. The obsession with silicone bakeware began there. Subsequent purchases were made for traditional styles, bundt, cup cake and loaf-style “pans”.
I then became a fan of the whimsical shapes such as sunflower, butterfly and fleur-de-lis. And let’s not forget about my holiday collection of hearts, pumpkins, pine trees, snowman and eggs. My favorite, however, has got to be the giant cupcake…I’m sure you know why. My entire silicone baking collection is oven, freezer and dishwasher safe in addition to being lightweight, easy to stack and even foldable if storage space is tight.
