A few weeks ago, my friends over at Cake Art gave me a sample pack of some paper pans in a plethora of shapes and sizes. They thought I might like them. But, I don’t. I love them. You can bake and then turn right around and take your goodies to someone special. Either that or display them at home and turn your kitchen into a coffee shop which could be fun, too.
These tiny ones make me happy. The size. The color. The slightly scalloped edge. Happy.
And so do these tee-niny ones. Eeeeek!
They have cylinder-shaped baking molds and regular muffin cup styles, too. Both of these are sturdy enough that you don’t need a muffin tray to bake them in. Just arrange them on a baking sheet and go.
And look at these cuties. They have lids. Perfect to bake and take.
Since I had all these pans, I had to put something in them.
I went for blueberries and bananas…
… and made some yummy muffins.
Yummy Blueberry Muffins
Ingredients
Instructions
Add a little butter while they’re still warm and your tummy will say thank you.
Then tear right in.
I had enough batter to try them out in all of the smaller size pans for fun. The large round paper cake and loaf pans would have to wait for another day.
But you don’t. Cake Art was sweet and gave me a second sample pack. So who wants it? Anyone?
Try and control your excitement and enter for a chance to win a bunch of paper. ; )
Just leave a comment on this post and answer the following question.
What is your favorite muffin? (I know. Tough, huh.)
Deadline to enter is Tuesday, June 1 at 5 pm ET. Sorry, Time’s Up. Winner announced below.
One winner will be chosen at random and announced sometime Tuesday evening.
Good luck.
P.S. Cake Art has pans available in large and small quantities. Sorry, they don’t have photos… just descriptions. But here’s a site with more pan options and pictures.
Wow. I really didn’t expect so many people to want to win paper pans. Super surprised. And now I wish I had scored more sample packs from Cake Art. Maybe I’ll get more the next time I make a trip. Until then, we have a winner. I’m excited to announce this one too, because finally a low entry number one. Low like commenter #5! Yay!
I wish I could be more inventive and say I like something really cool, but honestly, my favorite muffin is blueberry. So yummy when warm!
My favorite muffin is lemon poppyseed. I could have them for breakfast, dessert, or a snack… Nevermind, I could also eat them for lunch and dinner!
Homemade blueberry. For some reason, store-bought ones are always a disappointment. Maybe because they are cold? I also love pumpkin-cream cheese in the fall, but never make them any other time.
You’re right it is hard to choose. I’m a chocolate lover, but I would have to say that my favorite muffin is blueberry. Maybe I should put them both together.. :)
These pans are great. They are soooo cute. They would be great filled with my banana peanut butter muffin batter. I can taste them now :)
I have two favorites – blueberry and lemon poppy seed. But if I could only have one, I would probably choose the blueberry.
Favorite muffin? That’s easy. The one closest to my mouth, that’s the one. Ha!
Definitely raspberry and white chocolate – delicious!
love these little pans. My favorite muffin would have to be cinnamon strussel.

My favorite is whatever muffin my youngest will make with me, as he is a most excellent sidekick. We’re pretty open to whatever scrounging needs to happen, since we almost never have all the ingredients for anything.

My favorite muffins have to be the ones I made a few weeks ago. I made them with a cupcake recipe and threw in some apples that were going bad. Then I let the top brown a little more than usually so they wouldn’t be muffin like and OMG. So good. Not really a muffin recipe, but wow. I made some icing with butter and sugar and spread it on thinly with some powdered sugar sprinkled on top. I had that with a glass of milk every morning for a week. YUM. :)
Gotta be corn muffins… mmmmmmmmmmmm!

William Sonama’s bran muffin! So good!
Pumpkin with cream cheese icing! Okay…so maybe they are more like a cupcake…but I call them muffins with style and they are SOOOO good!
