You’re planning a big party with lots of sweets and goodies. Using silicone would be ideal, but not practical. After all, reusable silicone molds usually come in small packages of 12 or 24. But paper liners—they come in large quantities. Introducing Green Direct Cupcake Liners. They’re as basic as you can get; straightforward and effective, they could be the best reusable baking cups for large parties.

Why We Like It – Green Direct Cupcake Liners

A 500-piece set of non-reusable cupcake liners. Simple and effective, these paper cupcake liners can easily serve large parties without costing an arm and a leg.

Pros
  • 500pcs cupcake liners
  • Will protect the treats while baking
  • Cheap; free shipping included
Cons
  • Flimsy; made of paper
  • Not reusable

Performance

Unlike the AmazonBasics Reusable Silicone Baking Cups, paper cups have a hard time impressing us. Silicone baking cups go above and beyond in terms of performance and are, more often than not, reusable for years. So where does that place the Green Direct Cupcake Liners? Well, somewhere in the middle. They did just fine protecting treats while they were being baked and saved us time having to wash the muffin pan. They are paper, however, and can be ripped relatively easy if not handled correctly.

Design

As far as design goes, it could be better. And it can be with the multi-color Green Direct Cupcake Liners for $9 as opposed to the $7 plain white liners. These are your standard-sized cupcake liners so now matter what brand of muffin pan you use, as long as it’s average-sized the cupcake liners will fit inside. Since these are made of paper, if you go any bigger than average, you’ll run the risk of the liners spreading out and creating malformed cupcakes and muffins. For a variety of shapes, we suggest you try the IELEK Silicone Cupcake Liners Bundle; they’re silicon, strong, reusable and come in different sizes and shapes.

Value

Green Direct Cupcake Liners Standard Size Cupcake Wrappers are really cheap; after all, they are made of paper. Because of their relative cheapness, you can get a large quantity of paper baking cups (500 liners) as opposed to a small set of reusable silicone molds like LetGoShop Silicone Cupcake Liners Reusable Baking Cups. If you’re planning a big party, you’ll want these; otherwise, use silicone molds for personal use. When all that is considered, including performance and design, we can say with certainty you’re getting a good deal.

Green Direct Cupcake Liners Wrap Up

The Green Direct Cupcake Liners do very little to color outside the liners; they are your average cupcake liners that will do just fine keeping your sweets from dirtying up your cupcake pan. Cheap and effective, you get 500 in a single pack for $7, which is a good deal. But remember: it’s paper and non-reusable.
