Paper Pans

IMG_0367

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!

IMG_0392

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.

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?
