A tulip baking cup is a tall paper wrap with pointed petals that frames the top of a cupcake. Restaurantware sells its tulip cups under the Panificio name, and the 4 oz brown version shows how the line is built: greaseproof paper, an oven-safe rating and a shape meant for display.
The product at a glance
The Panificio 4 oz Brown Paper Tulip Baking Cup measures 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and is sold in a 200 count box. Restaurantware describes its color as "a vivid cocoa brown finish" and positions the cups for a cafe, bakery, catering event or other foodservice establishment.
Three details from the product listing matter most to a baker:
- Greaseproof lining. The listing says it keeps treats looking fresh and gives guests a mess-free way to enjoy desserts.
- Oven-safe paper. The cups "can endure hot temperatures up to 425F."
- Recyclable. The listing describes the paper cupcake cups as recyclable.
How Restaurantware suggests using them
The listing gives two specific examples: serving chocolate cupcakes at a bakery, and displaying caramel apples at a dessert buffet. The second example shows that the cup is pitched as a serving and display wrap as well as a baking liner.
The white 4 oz tulip cup in the same line adds a few more details. Restaurantware describes it as having "four pointed petals," says it peels away easily so baked goods keep their shape, and lists it as freezer-safe and oven-safe up to 425°F.
Colors in the 4 oz tulip lineup
Brown is one of several colors. Current Panificio listings for the 4 oz greaseproof tulip cup include blue, red, white, violet, yellow, orange, green and pink, all at 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" x 3 1/2" and 200 count per box. That gives a bakery nine colors at a single size.
The 3.5 oz tulip cup for higher volume
Panificio also offers a 3.5 oz greaseproof tulip cup at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", packed 500 per box. It is listed in brown, kraft and white, with striped and floral print versions. Restaurantware's descriptions of these cups say cupcakes and muffins release easily, that the heavy-duty paper holds its shape through baking and serving, and that the paper is oven-safe and recyclable.
A wider baking-cup family
Tulips are one part of the Panificio collection. The same collection lists flared, ridged, pleated and scalloped baking cups, with minis as small as 0.4 oz and jumbo cups of 10 oz or more. Finishes include vintage floral, newsprint, chocolate wisp, polka-dotted hot orange and foil-coated metallics, along with seasonal prints.
