We have a product review for you this week and it's all about using silicone pans / molds.
I haven't used a silicone mold in a long time. I was looking for ways to make perfect whoopie pies and found these muffin-top silicone pans on Amazon. The title came up with whoopie pies and I bought them thinking they would work well.

My first attempt was pumpkin whoopie pies. I think I put too much batter in the mold and they turned out like short cupcakes. Because they were thicker than normal, they made a thick whoopie pie. Although they were delicious, it was a bit much. I believe the batter was too thick and maybe if I had thinned the batter it would have worked better.

My second attempt at making whoopie pies was the classic chocolate. They turned out much better and simply scrumptious. Reminded me of my mom's homemade whoopie pies. These were made with a cake mix. They definitely were a hit at our Christmas party. I'm keeping this recipe for certain!

Not only can you make muffin tops and whoopie pies, but you can also make Egg muffins, muffin tops, tarts, eggs, cookies, mini cheesecakes or quiche, gelatins, and more.
No need to grease the pan, the cakes came out perfect. The cleanup was super easy, nothing really stuck to them and they clean up like new.
I did put them on a cookie sheet for stability because of how soft the mold is when handling them.
I highly recommend silicone molds and give these 5/5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Cake Mix Whoopie Pies
INGREDIENTS
- One 15.25-ounce box of cake mix
- One 3.4-ounce box of instant pudding mix
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup salted butter (1 ½ sticks), softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup marshmallow creme
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), add the cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, and eggs.
- Stir to combine then use a rubber spatula to get the ingredients off the sides of the bowl. Then beat for 2 minutes.
- Scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, making sure to put at least 2 inches between each cookie (I use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop).
- Bake for 10-13 minutes. Let cool completely.
Make the Filling
- Place the softened butter in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar and vanilla and beat until smooth.
- Stir in the marshmallow creme and refrigerate until you're ready to assemble the whoopie pies.
Assemble & Enjoy!
- Lay half of the cookies upside-down (so the flat side of the cookie is on top).
- Use a piping bag or a cookie scoop to transfer the filling onto the cookie halves.
- Place the remaining cookies on top to form the whoopie pies.
