During proving, it gives the batter extra support so muffins hold their shape, rise higher, and look wonderfully fluffy. Plus, a tulip case holds more batter than a classic low case. The result is a tall muffin with room to rise while keeping its signature tulip shape.
Tulip cases are taller and wider than classic ones, so you don't have to place them in a tin – they hold their shape well on their own on a baking tray. If you'd like a guaranteed straight shape, though, pop them into a muffin tin. Fill them about half to two-thirds full with batter, so it has room to rise up between the points as it bakes.

These raspberry cases from PME instantly bring summer to mind. I picture a bowl piled high with freshly picked raspberries, ready to be turned into soft, moist muffins with a lovely tangy flavour and white chocolate. Best of all, they come together quickly, leaving plenty of time to relax in the garden. And that's exactly what I love about these cases – they're so charming that your muffins will look gorgeous even without any fancy decorating.
