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!
Costco chocolate chip muffins. Not the healthiest muffins, I suppose, but nothing can compete for deliciousness
I love PUMPKIN! It doesn’t need to be fall to bake with pumpkin in my eyes! I large pumpkin muffing with chocolate chips and sprinkled with raw sugar gets me every time!
Vanilla-pear muffins…mmmmm!
definitely double chocolate chip muffins are the best!! I’m a chocolate addict <3
gotta go with blueberry..
Mmmmmm, my two favorites are banana and blueberry, so this recipe sounds delicious!!
Favorite muffin is Pumpkin… it makes me feel all homey and warm inside like I do during the fall.
raisin bran
blueberry, hands down
Either Banana with Crumb Topping (on my blog!) or Coffee Cake muffins… YUM!
Love love love Lemon Blueberry Cornmeal Muffins. With a little sprinkle of sugar on top gives it that little bit of crunch and sweetness.

Favourite muffin, oh gosh! Well, I make a banana/chocolate chip one every week that I really love. So, that would get my vote. YUM!
I heart these paper pans! My favorite depends on my mood and is therefore a tie between corn muffins (my original fav) and chocolate chip muffins (because how can you go wrong with chocolate + muffin?)!
Thanks!

I like either blueberry or banana nut.
my sister and i make the best (the name itself is a mouthful) chocolate chip strawberry banana nut muffins… when they’re warm and gooey, yum!
Mmm… I think almond poppyseed muffins… boring, but its true. Its my favorite!
Chocolate chip orange muffins are ah-maaazing. I also want to remind everyone that while paper pans are great for gifts and such, reusable baking equipment should always be used when possible, for the good of the environment!
Blueberry is probably my #1 favorite but I also love Peabody muffins that are buttery, vanilla-cinnamon flavored and yummy.
lemon poppy seed. Yum!
I know slim to none chance I’ll win, but I MUST try!! My favorite muffins are banana chocolate chip! BUT I must try your banaberry muffins soon!!

Caribou Coffee has a French Toast muffin that should be illegal it’s so good :)
Something of the bran-y, flax-y, kinda good for you, though the sugar in it negates the goodness of the whole grains, kinda muffin.
