Put evenly into each silicone pan

You will not have to flour these pan with anything just add your mixture to them.

Weighed them on a scale to make sure they are all the same weight.

Use a few drops of different food coloring in each pan and flavoring to match that color.

Oil flavorings work best such as Lemon, orange, lime, coconut etc. Do not add to much!!! Oils are very strong as well as the coloring.

Stir with mini spatula for each pan with the color of the flavor. Do all of this while the pans are on the cookie sheet.

Place cakes on cookie sheet into oven center rack and bake to 30min or until done. Touch cake quickly with index finger in the middle and it should spring back when it’s done. Take out of oven on cookie sheet and let cool for 1/2 hr.

When cooled just separate the pan from the edges by pulling gently and then flip them over and level with knife when you are ready to use them. Put them in ziplocks to make sure they don’t dry out!
