Silicone baking cups have advantages and disadvantages. Anything baked in them, will pop out easily without sticking to the wrapper, as baked goods often do when a paper liner is used. Of course, same result could be achieved simply by greasing the muffin tin itself and not relying on paper liners at all.
One of the other advantages of using silicon cupcake cups is that you don't need the muffin tin to support your wrappers as you bake. You can simply set the cups directly onto a baking sheet, so you can make a batch of eight or fourteen without having to conform to the number of cups your muffin tin offers. This also enables silicone baking cups to take on some shapes that cupcakes don't generally come in. Wilton makes heart, square, triangle, and diamond-shaped baking cups. They hold the same amount of batter as regular baking cups but allow for more creativity when decorating. For example, Wilton suggests using the heart cups to make strawberry-shaped cupcakes.
