Silicone cake cases - help!

[twirlymum]

My dh very thoughtfully bought me some lovely heart shaped silicone cupcake cases. How do I get the cakes out??!!
I greased them with Wilton cake-ease, but every one I have tried to get out has stuck at the bottom.

i haven't had this trouble, but try some greaseproof paper.

They are little individual ones- paper would be a bit tricky.

I've never greased mine (tho they're bog standard round ones) and they've always come out fine. Perhaps you're not meant to grease them?

Have you let them cool for 5 mins first ?

If you leave them to cool they shoudl just fall out. I've never greased mine and I have fiddly tricky shaped ones.

Thanks, I'll try not greasing them next time.

Did you cook it for long enough? I find i have to reduce the temperature and cook for longer and the side of the cake separate from the cases. I do always grease mine though.

You aren't meant to grease them. You just pop them out once they've cooled a little.

I've had the same problem with ice-cream cone-shaped silcone cases. Having tried every different way of greasing/ not greasing etc, they are now in the charity shop pile! Other silicone cases are fine; I think there are some that jsut don't work for me...
