ky-sam Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Hi As of right now I use portion cups but was thinking to switching to the scalloped mold and put them in a bag Which do you think is better and nicer, I know the portion cups are easier but I think scalloped looks better. How do you do your tarts?? Edited September 14, 2009 by ky-sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmsojka Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I did the scalloped originally and switched to the portion cups. The portion cups are incredibly faster to make. And the tarts in bags seem to get marked up. They don't stay looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroMetroChic Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Do you ever have trouble with the fragrance oils eating the plastic? I use the mini cupcakes and am considering making the switchI know I need a certain type can anyone recommend a supplier for these cups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 do a search on portion cups and you will find what ya need....hopefully Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justrightcandles Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 the portion cups have to be #5 i believe so that the fo will not eat thru them. But do you guys who use them find that the lids come off during shipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kandlenutz Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I use the scallped ones and have more recently started using ice cube trays. They arent as "pretty",but they sure are easy to fill and release from trays (the scallped ones scratched my finger tips all up). None of the people I sell to have complained about how they look, they get melted down anyway. I also use lots of candy molds, they are cheap enough and do make nicer tarts also. I package my tarts in 1/2 # bakery bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tootie04 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I used the portion cups too...I liked them. I now use the clamshells and am going to get some silicone molds for the more festive ones for holidays...we will see how they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faerywren Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 A Wilton mini cupcake silicone mold might be a good idea.~Julia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
