How to Choose Safe Silicone Cake Molds

Not all silicone cake molds are created equal—safety should be your top priority when shopping. Inferior products often mix industrial silicone with harmful plasticizers, which release toxic substances under high heat, posing health risks  .

To avoid pitfalls, check two key points: certifications and quality. Look for molds meeting GB4806.11 standards, plus international certifications like FDA or LFGB . Physically inspect: high-quality silicone has no odd smell, feels soft yet resilient, and shows no white marks when stretched. Size matters too—4-inch molds suit single servings, 6-8 inches for families, and shaped ones for creative bakes. Prioritize these, and you’ll get both safety and functionality.
