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!
Pumpkin! I haven’t seen any votes for pumpkin!
chocolate chip all the way! :)
I couldn’t live without blueberry muffins, Yum……………..

Mango walnut muffins! Delicious!
I love cranberry orange muffins with a little bit of sugar sprinkled on top. yummy!!

Corn muffins rock!
Blueberry…oh so yummy
My favorite muffin is blueberry….or maybe apple cranberry….theres something about the tartness of cranberries that I love!

My favorite is blueberry muffins! Especially fresh blueberries that were picked the day of baking. Yuuum!
Raspberry and white chocolate or blueberry….NO WAIT! Maybe banana!
Blueberry muffins all the way!
Anything crumbly and crunchy on top, I LOOOVE to eat just the muffin tops (just like on Seinfeld). I even make all my muffins in Madeleine pans to make them as close to muffin tops as possible, DELISH!
Blueberry, using freshly picked from the organic patch down the road…yum…
Lemon cream!
Chocolate with chocolate chunks. Such a comfort fresh from the oven!
My favorite muffins are the blueberry raspberry muffins that my mom used to make when we were kids. We would go berry picking and then go home and make the muffins. I have never been able to reproduce those muffins and my mom can’t remember which recipe she used :(. I keep trying!
My favourite would have to be some super chocolate concoction. Choc muffin with choc chips and a gooey choc centre with choc icing on top. Mmmmm…. Add peanut butter to that mix and I would be in HEAVEN!
I love strawnana muffins. I also always love zucchini muffins (my favorite way to have zucchini!)
mm, so hard to choose, but l’ll have to go with bran, honey, date and walnut muffins
Apple cinnamon muffins are my favorite
My favorite muffin is one who looks so delicius that you almost can’t wait to eat it, but that it’s so pretty that you don’t want to.
chocolate muffins of any kind!!
My fave muffin is… um… if I have to choose… um… believe it or not a good, moist, whole-grain bran muffin warm from the oven with real butter and a dollop of homemade jam.
My favorite muffin… apples and sugar ! And carrot cake. Oooh, with cream cheese. But really, anything with cream cheese.
hmm… i think i like mint and chocolate chips the most… maybe because of the minty and chocolate flavor made me fall in love with mint chocolate?? lol :) hope i can get the baking set!!
P.S. a friend sugested this website for me, and i think this is the best out of all cooking sites– keep it up bakerella! love u

My favorite muffin is a Morning Glory muffin – with carrots, raisins, pineapple and spice.
I’d love to give those baking papers a spin! It would make gift-giving so much fun.
Chocolate chip all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
mmm..at first I was hoping for some cute decorations on the different boxes but I was delightfully suprised by the juicy blueberries.. mmm.. yummy! I didn’t have any blueberries so I made chocolate banana cupcakes today.
I love banana nut muffins and chocolate chip muffins.. To me they’re best frozen. They don’t get rock hard–they’re just a little firmer and nice and cool to eat.
I don’t mind a warm muffin with some butter over it though.. Either of those MUST be accompanied with a glass of ice cold milk though!
My favorite muffin has been one i haven’t had in over 5 years. My sister’s boyfriend’s workplace used to make them. I believe it was a cranberry muffin with a crunchy, sweet, sugary topping. I loved it.
My favorite muffin is definitely cinnamon apple crumb…. by far! But I am going to try that scrumptious looking mini muffin you took a picture of! I can’t help myself!
Oooohhh…how can one pick a favorite muffin???!!! Yikeess….blueberry streusel? Apple caramel? Pumkin pecan? peach with blond streusel? Chocolate banana? Banana nut? I can’t do it!!! …but would really appreciate those paper pans!! :)
I love banana streusel muffins!
I like it old school…. banana nut muffins and blueberry muffins. If it ain’t broke why fix it?
My favorite is vanila fill with chocolate, but probably i sould try banana flavor with chocolate inside mmm
