Frequently Asked Questions
Product Questions
Are your cupcake liners and baking cups greaseproof?
Yes! Our liners are our own designs and are greaseproof cupcake liners. These greaseproof liners truly are just that, greaseproof. They do not fade - even the white - and that is what makes them far different than anything you have used before. We have baked in and tested each one of our greaseproof cupcake liners and post pictures on our site so you will know what to expect.
Because there are many factors that can affect cupcake liner performance, we always recommend doing a test run before your big event to make sure you are 100% happy with the results. Although they are made from greaseproof paper, they are still paper liners. Many factors can certainly still affect their performance such as prolonged exposure to moisture, and sometimes even excess moisture in batters. They are not foil lined so if even a little bleed through is absolutely not acceptable, they may not be for you. Additionally, after much research, we have found that since the liners are taller and require more batter than standard cupcakes, a few extra minutes of baking results in optimum performance even longer with more runny batters. They bake ideally at 2/3 full.
Do you sell custom sprinkles mixes?
Custom sprinkles are our favorite to do! You can find the listing here. We can do any combination of any sprinkles we have in our shop as well as a few extra we have up our sleeve. You can request an exact mix or even just a list of colors and let us do our magic. From 4oz bags to 25lb bulk custom mixes, we got you covered!
Do you sell vegan, nut free, gluten, for other allergy specific sprinkles?
We sell a variety of dietary specific sprinkles in our shop including best selling Vegan Sprinkles. Our sprinkles are nut free and gluten free (minus the crispies line), but not certified allergen free. All of our sprinkles contain soy. All edible products have a full list of ingredients to help you with your buying decision.
Because some of our ingredients may be produced in a facility that produces allergens and we package and prepare our sprinkles on the same machinery, there is always a risk of cross contamination. Unintentional contamination can always be a possibility, however remote.
Why doesn't my bottle of sprinkles weigh exactly 4, 16, or 80 ounces?
All of our sprinkles have different densities, therefore they weigh differently. In order to stay consistent and to allow our machinery to fill the bottles equally, we measure by volume in fluid ounces. Regardless of the type of sprinkle you order, you can assure that you get the same amount of coverage. The surface area is the same regardless of the weight of the product. Our packaging labels reflect this.
Will your paper straws get soggy or unravel once they are placed in drinks?
We have tested each of our straws for hours in cold drinks and they are just as sturdy as they were when we first put them in. They are not for use in hot drinks as the heat undoes the adhesive. Our paper party drinking straws are made out of thicker, sturdier paper than other paper straws therefore holding up for as long as you want to party. They will not fade or unravel so you can rest assured that they will be the perfect addition to your party!
Are your paper straws strong enough to bake cookie pops in the oven with?
Yes! This is our favorite question because this is a very popular use for our paper straws! Lots of our cookier customers have sent us pictures and videos showing how easy our straws are to use with cookies pops straight from the oven. Simply press them into the back of the dough, bake, and enjoy!
