We have the little paper baking cups, but we just realized that we don't have a cupcake tin. Is it possible to make cupcakes w/out it??? I'm desperate because our 5 year-old is really excited about halloweeny cupcakes, help!!!

Use foil to make cups to set your paper cups inside of on a cookie sheet. Or if you are feeling real creative, you can use the foil to create dividers. Do you have a pan that either has oven-proof handles or removable handles? Set the cups inside this to bake.

Check around your house to see if you have any small white bakeware cups (oven safe custard cups). You can probably put the liners in them and use them. Anything that will support the sides and be oven proof should work. You may be able to get away with using 2-3 of the liners per cupcake (to make them more stable) and then put them edge-to-edge in a cake pan to give them support on the outside.
Good luck!!

I've made them without, but make sure that you have the tin paper around each one, and only fill just under halfway.
You could also try making rows on a cookie sheet with tin foil.

YOu don't need a mold, just a muffin pan. They have a good flexible one at Safeway and Walmart. Let me know, if you need a recipe. I'll be unpacking mine, soon as I move. I'm moving tomorrow. As for cupcakes, you can use ice cream cones, on a cookie sheet.

uhm.. this might sound funny, but if you have tin foil or aluminum foil... use like a big square for each cup cake and mold it into the shape of one and just put the lil paper things in it and then the dough... that should help.. if not.. go to albertsons or the dollar tree... they usually have em....

I echo the other post with a twist...Triple up the papers and find a square pan, place the cups in the square pan such that they all support one another. e.g. -> ooo
and give that a shot. I bet it ooo
will work out.

You can use empty soup cans sprayed with non-stick spray. oven proof coffee mugs could work, too, but the cupcakes will not be as browned.

triple up the papers. They should hold up the shape even with the batter in them.

If you don't have the tin you will end up with a big mess.
