Every time I go through the “Wilton” isle at the craft store I see all these pretty baking cups for muffins or cupcakes. There are so many choices of shapes and colors and I want one of each. I went to the grocery store in search of an idea for muffins and found the blackberries on sale so I picked up a couple cartons and headed to the craft store to find the perfect muffin cups. I thought these bright pinkish cups looked like an open flower and thought they would be perfect for my muffins. When I started filling them with batter I found out they were too large to fit into my muffin pan. So, I placed some in ramekin cups and the others on a cookie sheet. The baking cups were stiff enough to hold up without a mold, however they did spread out a bit more than the ones baked in the ramekins. I had hoped they would look like a flower in bloom but I what I had in my head and what actually baked up were two different things. In the end I couldn’t be happier with how they tasted, they were so moist and berry delicious.
