A Dozen Bite-Size Muffins per Bake

Mini muffins sell on volume and variety: a coffee shop offers three flavors in a basket, a caterer fills a brunch platter, a grocery bakery packs a dozen assorted minis in a clamshell. Item # 4056-35-250 is the 12-cavity format that production runs on—1 5/8 inch cups across a compact tray, so every oven cycle produces a dozen uniform bite-size units with no portioning after the bake.

Portioning Built Into the Pan

The cavity does the measuring. Fill each 1 5/8 inch cup to the same line and every mini comes out at the same size and weight—critical for nutrition labeling, per-piece pricing, and platter counts. At one ounce of batter per cavity, the tray turns a standard muffin batch into sellable dozen packs with zero trimming, weighing, or second-guessing on the line.

Rigidity Without a Support Pan

Lightweight multi-cavity foil trays flop when filled—cups tilt, batter bridges between cavities, and the tray bends at the lift. This pan is formed from rigid-gauge foil with a rolled rim around the perimeter, so it carries a full fill from bench to oven to cooling rack as a self-supporting unit. Bakeries running tight oven space can load these trays directly onto the rack.

Even Bake Across Small Cups

Mini muffins bake fast, and small cups punish uneven heat: edge cups scorch while center cups lag. Aluminum's rapid conduction evens out the tray's temperature gradient, so all twelve cavities finish within the same short window. The tapered cup releases minis cleanly with or without paper liners.

Channels That Run on Minis

Coffee shops merchandise minis at the register; caterers build them into breakfast and brunch platters; grocery bakeries pack assorted dozens for grab-and-go. The 250-tray case at 12.5 lbs stages compactly, and the family covers standard six-cavity and giant four-cavity formats for full-size programs.

FAQs

What is the 4056-35-250 pan used for?

Bite-size production: mini muffins, mini cupcakes, petit fours, and small baked bites for coffee shops, brunch catering, party platters, and grocery grab-and-go dozens. Each 1 5/8 inch cavity holds about an ounce of batter, so portioning is built into the pan.

Does the tray need a support pan underneath?

No. The tray is formed from rigid-gauge foil with a rolled perimeter rim, so it carries a full fill from bench to oven to cooling rack as a self-supporting unit. It loads directly onto oven racks, which matters when oven space is tight.

Do all 12 cups bake evenly?

Yes. Minis bake fast and small cups punish uneven heat—edge cavities scorch while centers lag. Aluminum's rapid conduction evens the tray's temperature gradient so all twelve finish in the same short window.

Can the minis be released without paper liners?

Yes. The tapered cup releases minis cleanly with or without paper liners. For retail packing, many operators bake bare and drop the cooled minis into cups or clamshells.

What other muffin formats are available?

The family covers standard six-cavity and giant four-cavity formats for full-size muffins. The mini tray cases 250 at 12.5 lbs. Samples are available before you commit.
