Product Care & Use FAQs:
-
How do I clean and care for reusable cake tins or silicone molds?
- Answer: Proper cleaning and care will ensure your cake tins and silicone molds last for many years. After each use, hand wash your cake tins with warm soapy water and a soft sponge to avoid scratching the surface. Silicone molds are generally dishwasher safe but should be placed on the top rack. Make sure all items are completely dry before storing to prevent rust or mold buildup.
-
How do I store leftover sprinkles or other cake decorations?
- Answer: Store sprinkles and other cake decorations in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain their freshness and color. Airtight containers or resealable bags work well for keeping decorations free from moisture. For edible decorations like fondant toppers, be sure to store them in a sealed container to prevent them from drying out.

If used for cake decorating, gently clean them with a soft, damp cloth and allow them to dry completely before storing them flat.
