If you’re baking cupcakes and find that you’re out of paper cup liners, you can use parchment paper to create cupcake liners as a quick and convenient substitute.
To make liners out of parchment paper, you’ll need a drinking glass, measuring tape, and scissors. Cut a sheet of parchment paper into a square that measures 5 by 5 inches.
Place the square parchment sheet over each cup in the muffin tin. Press down on the paper with the bottom of the drinking glass as many times as you need to fill your muffin tins.
After you create your parchment paper liners, stuff them inside thicker ones to create double-layered liners that will better protect your cupcakes and your pan.
You can also fashion your cupcake liners into a more decorative tulip shape. Tulip liners are quite beautiful and striking when baking cupcakes for special occasions.
