Hi Shannon,
       I use the little baking cups you get at the grocery store. I have two
sizes. One is a normal cup cake size and the other is much smaller. You can
also get them at craft stores, but they are more expensive. For tape, I use
painter's tape which they use on drywall. It isn't as sticky as masking tape
so it won't damage the surface. You can get it at Home Depot or any paint
store. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Charlie
