• "These are just thin paper that will disintegrate into your bake goods."

• "They are shorter cup liners than any I have used before so your cupcakes end up sticking to your pan."
• "They didn’t hold up under the batter."

• "Bad quality, the colors do not stay altered after baking."
• "Very upset… the description said red… they are pink!"
