I can't speak for everyone, but cute as they are, I would never try to bake in them. Silicone bakeware is the worst. Contrary to what you would expect, everything sticks to them. In such a little container, you might lose half the cupcake.
I'm looking forward to what you do with these! I have some, but have never used them.
I don't know if is 'bake-legal', but I usually spray my larger silicone bakeware with non-stick spray before baking in them. It's harder to wash, but it doesn't make the goods stick to it!
We did end up baking in these, using the same batter as we did for our regular cupcakes. You can see the results here: http://thespatulaqueen.blogspot.com/2009/08/sunday-is-for-good-eating.html
I didn't have a problem with the cupcakes sticking to the container,but I felt like I should've adjusted the baking time and put less batter in each. Good luck with your own baking experiments!
