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!
My favorite muffin is Strawberry Crunch at http://www.slobaked.com
I used to buy the square topped strawberry muffins when I lived in San Luis Obispo, CA while going to college. It has a crunchy top with strawberry and vanilla cake.
banana chocolate chip! can’t get enough of them! =)
Lemon Cranberry muffins are me definite fave!
My favorite is lemon poppyseed. They are even better with some icing on top. Yuuummmm
One of my favorite muffins is zucchini. Yum.
Pumpkin!
i absolutely LOVE banana nut!!
Rainy day in Seattle – perfect baking weather and today was muffin day (go figure) so the family always screams for their favorite ……pumpkin chocolate chip! Yum – perfect with a cup of joe for an afternoon treat
BTW – they would have been great int he paper cups :)
Lemon poppyseed for sure!
YEAH!!! Last Friday I was looking at similar pans on the web and decided that this Christmas I would make quick breads for gifts for my co-workers. Even started looking at recipes, never too early for taste tests. I am very glad to see a positive review.
Hmm, I am not a fan of pumpkin but I do love a pumpkin chocolate chip muffin!
Yummy – almond poppyseed with a vanilla custard filling. Thanks Bakerella!!
Chocolate Chip Muffins (aka cupcakes disguised as breakfast!)
I love bluebarb muffins – just tried making them for the first time last week and they were a hit with the whole family!
Cranberry walnut from Starbucks, it’s a bit expensive but oh so good!
Those are the cutest!
My favorite is probably poppy seed. Yum! except that I can’t pass a drug test after eating it, which makes them even more interesting!
It would have to be poppy seed muffins!!
LoooOOOOOoooooouuuuuUUUUUUUUuuuVE them!
Great idea, never thought of paper pans. My fav is blueberry of course!
Love bananaberry muffins! Would love to make them in the paper cups, pans etc. Looks easy and no clean up. Yea.
Poppy seed! It’s delicious
Banana Nut Chocolate Chip :)
Corn muffins are one of my fav. Love these paper pans!
Carmen
Yummy Bananaberry Muffins, of course!
i love bannana nut!!
Tundra Cranberry or Tundra Blueberry muffins are my FAVORITE. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing that tastes like a cranberry or blueberry from above the Arctic Circle. Yum. Good thing I live up here. I could use some paper, since we don’t have trees. :)
Blueberry – warm from the oven, with a big glass of cold milk. Mmmm – excuse me – I’m hungry, now.
Thanks so much for offering these.
Faith Self
Muffin of choice? Dense blueberry with crumbly topping. And always with a cup of good coffee!
Blueberry, can’t go wrong!
My absolute favorite muffin is a cream cheese muffin…They are so rich, perfectly dense with a slight struedal crumb on top.
I love love love Banana Nut Muffins…..MMMMMMM!!
orange cranberry…yum!
blueberry muffins have to be my favorite! I can only eat them nice and warm with butter on top.
favorite? depends on my mood, i guess. spice cake muffins are always good but then so are chocolate chip. most of the time i go for banana nut. mmm… warm banana nut muffin with caramel… okay, gotta go bake some now!
Apple Crunch muffins warm with butter….mmmm good!
I’m a traditionalist – oat bran with raisins :)
these are just adorable! mmmm blueberry muffins
Apple and cinnamon muffin…crazy good!!!
I will go out of my way to always have ingredients on-hand for Pineapple Gem muffins. I think I’m addicted :S
i am a bran raisin girl.
My utmost favorite was banana nut until I tasted a zucchini nut that a bakery near my house sells.
Snickerdoodle Muffins!! xoxo
Blueberry with streusel topping!! YUM!
Cream Cheese with powdered sugar sprinkled on top…sooo mm mm good!
i love cranberry orange muffins! if i had these, i’d make them all the time!
Raspberry Cream Cheese muffin from the Jenny Lind Bakery in Red Wing, Minnesota – delicious raspberry muffin with moist cream cheese in the MIDDLE.
I love blueberry muffins, especially from Mimi’s Cafe.
blueberry muffin!!!
A divine chocolate chip muffin! Know a good recipe?
Blueberry, blueberry, BLUEBERRY !!!!! Plain is good, with streusal stopping is even better.
I blame it on genetics. My mother craved blueberries the whole time she was pregnant with me. In the fall and winter. (I was born in July.)
In Chicago. In the mid-1950’s (no Chilean fruit in the winter !).
BLUEBERRIES all the way, babe !
Ooh, tough decision… I make one with cranberries and orange zest that’s so yummy for breakfast. My mom likes to toss in a handful of dark chocolate chips and they get pretty decadent. YUM! *goes off to bake*
definitely blueberry! although these bananaberry ones look delicious and might be a new favorite! mmmmmm….
Chocolate chip! Or better yet, banana chocolate chip!
Yummy …..Cinnimon Sugar !!
lemon poppy seed. yumm
Going go with lemon poppy seed. Blueberry is super close too, but if I had to choose just one, I would pick the lemon. :)
Warm. I like cranberry-orange, or pumpkin. Blueberry is good if the blueberries are fresh, not canned or whatever the horribleness they do in coffee shops is. Sorry, I’m a snob. :)
Banana Crumb muffins…mmmmmm!
Pretty boring, but I love me a good ol’ blueberry muffin with a crumb topping.
Mmmm… muffins! I love them all, but for my decadent side I would pick chocolate pumpkin with some cloves… for my healthier side I would pick a whole grain muffin with lots of apple chunks and cinnamon!
Poppyseed – or carrot. YUMMMY
What wonderful, fun pans and liners!!
Thank you for the opportunity!!
ebee
Those little pans are so adorable and I like the blueberry banana combo! yum…
Raspberry with a streusel top would be my favorite, then blueberry, then banana choc chip, then double choc…I love muffins!
Buttermilk spice muffins…mmmm :)
Hmmm…my favorite muffin would have to be anything with chocolate or a brown sugar topping! Yummy!!!
Blueberry muffins for me!
oooh that is a hard question! I think I will have to say orange chocolate chunk. Mmmmmm and now I think I’ll go make some!
My daughter makes an amazing lemon-blueberry muffin to die for – so I’m goin’ with that!
Lemon poppyseed!!!
Would love to win these! I love Bran Muffins, because I can smother them with HONEY and BUTTER.
I love pumpkin muffins with toasted walnuts on top. My favorite bakery made them while I was in grad school. I swear those muffins got me through my courses!
CORNBREAD muffins!
Lemon Poppy Seed have always been my favorite but i just came across a Chocolate Banana muffin I cant get enough of :) oh the choices in life we must make.
I use this banana bread recipe when I make bread or muffins, they are the best I’ve ever had. The recipe says to serve with ice cream or honey, I serve with both. A warm banana muffin and a scoop of vanilla ice cream both drizzled with honey, it’s amazing.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE lemon poppyseed muffins
I’m weird. I LOVE bran muffins. With walnuts.
Well, Starbucks used to have an Organic triple berry, or maybe it was blackberry peach…. but either way the bastards discontinued it. And I long for it all the time.
I love muffins! My favorite are original blueberry with yummy strousel on top! Coming in at a close second are pumpkin chocolate chip in the fall.

My favorite muffin is a blueberry corn muffin that I used to get at a bakery just up the street from the White House when I worked in DC. They were the best!

I’d definitely have to go with lemon poppyseed- anything lemon just melts in my mouth!
pumpkin muffins are the best, with melty butter in the fall and winter!
I love zucchini bread muffins, heavy on the walnuts and blond raisins. They are great to freeze and pull out one when you feel the urge. When it is defrosted but still chilly, you can add a dab of cream cheese. Delicious!
