Many people have been asking about baking muffins and cakes in our pinecone moulds.
At Butter and Bright HQ we are here to say that it works like a charm!
We used the following recipe to make muffins in our moulds. They baked up just beautiful and paired with a fresh garden rose, a mini plunger of hot coffee and some butter our morning became 6 star! Imagine treating your guests to a Room Service tray like this, what a way to make them feel welcome.
