Can I cook pastry in sillicone?

I recently watched a programme where they made mini pies by cooking them in deep muffin tins-in that case they cooked down some beef till it broke apart, with some veg and sauce mmmmmm.
I had been looking to buy a metal muffin tin for this, but then remembered I cook muffins in my sillicone muffin trays. But I have never used sillicone for pastry just for cakes.
So does anyone have any idea if I can cook pastry in these or not?
I know they are a bit wobbly so I use them on a metal tray to lift them in and out of the oven, but would pastry work?

personally, I don't think it's successful for pastry. if you only have silicone, you could line the cups with tin foil, that might work.0

I have only made sweet short crust pastry in silicone and only once, and it was rather good. I was pleased.0

Got some great fillings ideas from my other posts so think I will do a dry run at weekend just to see what they come out like-may bang some early mince pies in as well
.
Will post the results.

I don't love silicone. But I have a bit of it. I am lured by pretty shapes, and I do find these come out from silicone easier than non stick baking tins, the really complicated shapes.
I find cakes need total retiming on silicone, they do not cook as quickly or as evenly, which is a problem, That's why I was pleased to have pastry work well the one time I did it0 -
I have several silicone pans and think they're fine for cakes, especially as lostinrates says, the shaped ones.
Having said that, I probably wouldn't use it for a cake I was giving to someone as a present as the sides that touch the silicone go shiny 0
