Breaking Down: Tulip versus Fluted Baking Cups

Every home baker needs baking cups in their kitchen drawer as they are perfect for baking a variety of treats. From muffins and cupcakes to scones, souffles and butter cups.

But which ones to buy? And what’s the difference between them? Here’s a quick breakdown of the differences between tulip and fluted baking cups.

Tulip baking cups are made from a folded square of greaseproof paper. Tulip baking cups are much deeper than fluted cups. However, the bottom diameter remains the same size as fluted baking cups. So, if you want to use a muffin pan, it will still fit.

The traditional fluted or American baking cup is made from a disc of greaseproof paper. These fluted baking cups can be packed much more densely, which makes them less bulky and easier to transport.

Kate’s Kitchen Drawer suppliers use high quality imported greaseproof baking paper to produce our baking cups. The paper is biodegradable and halal certified.
