Since you have personally had the experience of your cupcakes seemer a bit more dense, you might want to try just baking them for a little less time. I did find instructions for one brand of silicone bakewear that says you may have to adjust your baking time by 5 or 10 minutes. Although I've had excellent results with these pans, I did do a bit of Internet research after reading your question.
I can't find anything negative having to do with the quality of the baked product. Most of the negatives I found had to do with the pans being a bit more difficult to handle because they are flexible, but overall all of the revues I found, even from chef's, were positive. More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
