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

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!
The bakery right around the corner from my college campus had the most wonderful pumpkin and raisin muffins. Hands down my favorite.
Hm. My favourite muffin at the moment (it changes quite frequently) would be raspberry-white chocolate. Or maybe goat cheese-olives. I can’t decide. They’re both delicious. :P
Just about anything with cheesecake or streusel on top! Mmm!
I love banana nut muffins!
Chocolate chip, hands down!
blueberry ones from starbucks. or buttermilk spice from mimi’s cafe. yum.
How adorable.
I love homemade pumpkin muffins, delicious.
And I cannot resist those poppy seed muffins they sell at Costco. You know, the ones that are the size of your head?
Mmmm
All this talk of muffins makes me crave them. I can get away with baking at 1 am being that I am a college student, right? Haha
my fave muffin is…blueberry?! i know, i’m so boring, but how can i think of anything else but blueberries after seeing this post??! :o)
Blueberry strusel!
I am pretty plain and would say that there is nothing like a blueberry muffin to make my day. That was until you posted this recipe! YUM! Might be my new fave! Thanks!
cranberry orange!
Blueberry!
or
Chocolate!
(both are favorites!)
Apple Cinnamon!
A few years ago, around Halloween, a Girl Scout Troop was having a bake-sale outside of a drug store. They had the most wonderful Cranberry-Pumpkin Mini-Muffins!! To this day I am still looking for that recipe:)
blueberry muffins! yummmy!
Banana walnut and lemon poppyseed muffins make me smile :)
I’m one of those weird folks who like savory muffins. My favorite so far have been a queso fresco and sundried tomato variety. Love the itty bitty paper pans!
I like banana chocolate chip muffins or blueberry muffins with coffee cake crumbles on top. Yum!
Anything lemon-y for me – or double chocolate, of course!
Cinnamon muffins :)
i loooove banana nut muffins!
zucchini walnut!
To Die For Blueberry Muffin on allrecipes
banana nut!
AHHHHH! I LOVE THESE! Banana Nut muffins are my absolute fave!!!!!!
pumpkin muffins with cinnamon cream cheese frosting =0
I have never heard of these….must try!
Paper idea is genius! My fave will ALWAYS be my grandmothers cinnamon-sugar muffins. I’ve been making them for my hubs for years and he loves um’ too :)
Any kind of megamuffin from Choco-latte in Edinburgh. It’s almost more of a huge chunk of cake than a muffin….and they usually have truffles on top…and chocolate drizzle. But it’s called a muffin, so I’m goin’ with it
Raspberry sour cream!!!!!
Amish Friendship Bread
My favorite is blueberry muffins. Muffins are the one food I don’t really feel adventurous about.
Awww. So adorable. I’d have to say that my favorite muffin is a blueberry muffin. Although UCLA has a really good pumpkin spice muffin that’s pretty good as well.
I love my sister’s frozen chocolate muffins. She makes regular dark chocolate muffins, but remove them from the oven when they’re barely crusted over, so the inside is all runny an delicious. The muffins are put in the freezer, and taken out rght before consumption. Fantastic ice cake treats!
Definately, definately… TRIPLE CHOCOLATE. A chocolate muffin, with dark choclate and white choclate chips. Ooey, gooey and deliciously CHOCOLATE.
Nothing can beat a still-warm-straight-from-the-oven chocolate chip muffin! An oldie, but a goodie : )
I adore blueberry muffins! But I’ll cheat on them for a streusel-topped anything. :)
blueberry muffins are my all time favorite. but i currently live in a country that doesn’t grow blueberries….so, here, i go w/ my second fave…cinnamon pumpkin apple. :)
I love love love blueberry muffins and will definitely be trying the blueberry banana ones. I never thought to put banana in with blueberrys. sounds tasty.

http://bakingbites.com/2008/09/sugar-donut-muffins/
I’ve made them twice so far. Two days in a row.
carrot muffin with cream cheese frosting
blueberrry muffins :)
Blueberry muffin… still warm from the oven, yum
I love chocolate chip muffins. Or pumpkin chocolate chip is great too!
Banana nut muffin is my fav. I would bake some pronto if i won these! (:
My Favorite………… would have to be Blueberry muffin or Chocolate Chip!
muffins, muffins…too many to choose from, but blueberry muffins always come out on top
Lemon cream cheese muffins on a hot summer day with a cup of black coffee always makes me happy.
Banana Nut or Chocolate Chocolate Chip, or if I can mix the two then it is an even better party in my mouth. LOL
Blueberry or Lemon Poppy Seed. Num num num!
cute but not very eco-friendly
Most definitely lemon blueberry! YUMMM! Right now I am on a bit of a lime kick though, so I need to try something with lime. Hmmm…..
Trying to pick one and can’t => blueberry / rich dark chocolate
Sweet Potato w/ a cream cheese dollop… to die for!!!
Pumpkin!
These pans look like too much fun. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favourite: orange-chocolate muffin.

Oh my goodness, those are too adorable!!
I made my first batch of Cranberry Orange Muffins a few weeks ago so I have to say those are my favorites. It was the first time I’d ever made a muffin from scratch and they were DIVINE!
blueberry!
Chocolate Chip for sure!
i think my favorite would have to be ginger pear muffins with a streusel topping. actually, just about any fruit muffin with a streusel topping would be good!
Banana nut have always been my absolute favorite, but cranberry orange come in second!
Those are fantastic!
I always make cupcakes, cookies etc. for my friends at school but then I have to transport them and its impossible! I have several disaster stories of my attempts to transport things, I have tried two pie tins taped together, paper plates with plastic wrap, and it looks either ugly or they smoosh in the container, I think this paper products are the solution!
Thanks for the idea!
Oh, and my favorite muffin is lemon poppy seed :)
peanut butter + chocolate!
gotta be pumpkin!
Now I want some blueberry muffins!
chocolate and bananas…hands down!
The only muffin I like eating is blueberry! Although those pictures make me want to try the blueberry/banana :)

Costco’s HUGE blueberry muffins that taste more like blueberry cake are my favorite. I don’t have them very often, but they are delish!
Cinnamon!!
my favorite muffin is banana-dried cranberries muffin!
That’s a tough one! Probably a cream cheese streusel muffin–yum!
I love Rose Levy Beranbaum’s Blueberry Muffin recipe in The Bread Bible. It’s simple but the best muffin I’ve had. :)
I like blueberry. I know, I KNOW. That could not be a more mundane answer. And yet, it is indeed, my true answer. If you judge me…well…I am rubber you are glue….
My favorite is a raspberry muffin!!
I am definitely a sucker for a good chocolate chip muffin. Though I do love blueberry ones too!

Of course, I would never say no to a good blueberry or chocolate chip muffin, either.
Sour Cherry, Lemon and white chocolate!!
My favorite muffin has to be the bluberry muffin with the dollop of cream cheese baked at the top of the muffin!! I get them at diletante’s!
I guess my favorite is one of the first recipes I have tried and the one I made for the first picnic I went to with the man I’m going to marry next month : White Chocolate and Raspberry Muffins. We were eating them when he told me he loves me.
First recipe, first picnic and first time he said he loves me : yes, definitely my favorite muffins.
Chocolate chip I think :) Though soon with recipes like these it would be the muffin top people will see cause my pants are too tight.
There’s nothing better than a fresh blueberry muffin done right!
Oh my goodness, you read my mind! My Fairy God Daughter and I have been talking about muffins all weekend!
My favorite is Poppy seed …not lemon poppy seed…Almond Poppy seed!
Banana nut muffins are my favorite! :] These little pans are too cute!
Such a great idea. No more left behind containers and then trying to wrangle those later!

Blueberry muffins are my favorite!! I have to say I never liked them before until I tried those enormous ones at Costco. OH EM GEE!!! Soooo moist and delicious! Now, I’m constantly craving their muffins. As a matter of fact, we just finished a batch from Costco today and I have plans to stop by tomorrow to buy more :)
My favorite has to be double chocolate chunk muffins. They are to die for!
Anything with Lemon! My favorite is Lemon Blueberry.

Until I was 14, I thought there was only one flavor of muffin: blueberry. Then I took an out-of-state trip with my grandparents, when I was introduced to the wonder of chocolate chip muffins. I never looked back.
Blueberry!
Mt favourie is dark chocolate with plus banana. ;)
Oh it’s a major toss up between blueberry and orange sugar.
Mmmm, so may to choose from. I guess I’ll go with simple banana with pecans.
Blueberry is a great standby, although, there are lots of others I love as well. This is making me hungry!
I like all kinds of muffins but my favourite are definitely the first muffins I ever tried: the classic blueberry!

I would have to say blueberry for sure!
That is easy. Chocolate, with chocolate chips inside.
I’m still in search of my favorite muffin, I know it probably would be a blueberry of some kind, but I haven’t found the one yet. I have a new blueberry sour cream recipe to try but haven’t had a chance to make it yet. Here’s hoping its the one!
I love lemon with poppy seeds! Those pans look very cool:)
I love lemon poppyseed. It’s so simple and it makes me think about Spring and sunshine and fields of, well, poppies. And i like the little crunch from the seeds as well. There’s just enough of it to make it a little more interesting than just a lemon muffin
Hmmm, my favourite muffin? Definitely double chocolate chip!

Such a difficult question! My mom used to make some amazing corn muffins that were the best breakfast with a pat of warm butter on top…Failing that my default would have to involve chocolate :)
Blueberry… no, wait … APPLE Struesel… Oh.. Dang… BLUEBERRY! Grrrrrrr.
Those pans are adorable!!! I love to give food as a thank you or a I’m thinking of you or just because. I would have to say my favorite kind of muffin would be chocolate chocolate chip. Yummm, it’s a dessert and a breakfast all in one. : )
