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!

Good old blueberry!

Lemon Poppyseed. It has to be very lemony and a lemon glaze on top is also helpful.
Blueberry Muffins!!! I absolutely love them :)
I LOVE blueberry muffins! I could live on them. I have one requirement though. Cut the muffin in half and lather Parkay squeeze butter on both sides and let melt. Simply Divine!!! I will have to try this recipe because I love banana bread as well, but never would thought to mix the two fruits into a muffin. Yum. :)
I love apple cinnamon muffins with crumb cake topping…yummmy!
I love Brownie Carmel Nut muffins the best!
My favorite would definitely have to be blueberry muffins made with fresh blueberries.
I love blueberry muffins but my favorite would have to be apple cinnamon muffins. Lemon muffin are also wonderful!
Fav muffin… blueberry with a wicked crumb top, or a cinnamon streusel with apple pieces!!!
I love pumpkin baked goods so if I have to pick one I’d say a pumpkin muffin, so moist and delicious. The perfect fall/winter muffin. Summertime would have to be a citrus muffin, an orange or a lemon… Ok so I just named three… I just love them!
mmmmmmmmmmmmm…lemon poppy seed
oo oooo..or pumpkin cream cheese filled from starbucks. they should be outlawed..
Blueberry muffins are my favorite.
Raisin Bran muffins with big ol’ raisins.
I have to go with the classic blueberry muffin for my favorite!
These look awesome. I would love some.
Favourite muffin… date and bran muffin.
I had a wonderful one from Miss Maud’s and tried to recreate it myself. I have to keep trying…
My favorite is Lemon ginger with a slice of lemon on the top … always FRESHY !
I love mini EVERYTHING!!! Those are so cute and would be perfect for taking treats to friends :)
I absolutely adore these cake liners. They are always so hard to find at your everyday craft and party stores or just really expensive. I am glad to see that they’re becoming more popular. Blueberry and white chocolate muffins are my fav!!
there’s nothing better than a blueberry muffin!!
oh sampler pack how I want you….I just love the way the brown ones look with muffins…so coffeeshop-esque!
I like any and all muffins without discrimination.
Blueberry…. but probably soon to be bananaberry muffins. They look delicious!

Banana nut are my favorite. So are lemon poppyseed. And blueberry.
Soooo hard to pick! But I think I’d have to say rhubarb – mmm!
Coffee cake muffins
Chocolate chip and banana muffins. YUM.
Well I think Lemon Poppy seed muffins are delightful but I think I have to say my favorite are just simple Wheatina muffins my mom used to make us all the time when I was still living at home.
my favorite is cream cheese iced pumpkin!
My favorite muffin is a Coffee Cake muffin!
I love blueberry muffins! They bring back memories of growing up – my dad would make them every now and then as a special breakfast for us!
apple cinnamon
Blueberry. Definitely.
I’m with you on the first pans – love the color & scalloped edge! My favorite is banana nut…or lemon sour cream poppyseed…or fresh blueberry…or, well…any flavor really!!!
Love the paper pans! I used some bigger round ones (6″?) to make panetonne for Cmas presents last year! My favorite muffins? Any that are homemade and still warm!
Pick just one? My favorite is probably an orange muffin with coarse sugar on top!
Those things are adorable! My favorite is blueberry muffins! I know so simple and plain but I love them.
Blueberry muffins with a crunch top! num num num num…
Strawberry- Banana Nut Muffins
Chocolate-chocolate chip! (I am of the belief that you can never have too much chocolate.)
Chocolate chocolate chip!!!
Probably some type of chocolate muffin… :)
Hmmmm. tough one, either banana nut or strawberry!
Strawberry Chocolate Chip Muffins … yyuummm!
I *heart* cranberry orange muffins!
And those pans are so cute I squealed a little bit.
My absolute favorite is chocolate chip, rhubarb and browned butter. I’m inhaling one as we speak.
Sorry, it’s actually the Lemon orange poppyseed muffins with passionfruit icing..
I love to give baked goods to friends and neighbors as gifts or just a little thank you. These would be perfect since I wouldn’t need my pan back. Love ’em!
classic blueberry
White muffins with rasberry and white chocolate uhmmmm
Hugs from Anja in Denmark
Lemon orange muffins with passionfruit icing!!!!
Apple cinnamon muffins are the tops — followed by blueberry and corn muffins. I’m sure anything presented in the cute paper liners would be tasty! Love your website!
Blueberry w/ sugar and lemon zest on top.
It’s a toss up between chocolate chip and blueberry streusel
Blueberry is classic. It has those juicy bits of goodness!
Oatmeal chocolate chip! Or butterscotch pecan. I’m not a fan of cooked fruit mixed with batter, just not for me. So I’m probably more of a cupcake girl than a muffin girl.
what a great gift idea! your photos are fantastic. my fav is definitely whole-wheat honey cornmeal orange cranberry!! quite a mouthful but actually very simple to make.
carrot with raisins!
cherry chocolate chip…hands down.
my grandma’s blueberry muffins!
Lemon Poppyseed!
Mmmm…lemon poppyseed!
it’s a toss up, either blueberry or corn.
pumpkin choc. chip w/banana, mmmmm…….

still in search of the perfect banana bread recipe…blueberries is a good idea, though…
chocolate chip muffins are my favorite!
Banana, yoghurt and chocolate chip muffins – with that beautiful crispy edge and soft centre. <3
Lemon Poppyseed is my hands-down favorite! I just don’t see them very often!
Chocolate chip banana…..yum!
Has to be blueberry!! I used to eat one 3 times a week before my pathophysiology class!
Blueberry – for sure.
Pumpkin or Banana Nut for sure!
This may be blasphemy but I love Fruit Explosion from Tim Hortons!
Carrot Cake Muffins with cream cheese frosting. YUM!
blueberry!
Banana hands down! Especially my Grandmother’s recipe :)
My favorite is my own recipe I’ve worked on for months to get it just right. It’s a buttermilk base with blueberries and a burst of raspberry perserves right in the middle so when you bit into it, you get this gooey raspberry center.
I call them Buttermilk Berry Burst muffins.
Currently, it is a browned butter blueberry muffin with a streusel topping. But this changes as I find each “new” favourite recipe… :)
I absolutely love the adorable paper baking pans. I am a nut for paper, be it corregated cardboard, kraft paper, you name it. These cups would be perfect with a batch of my Grandmother’s Oat Bran Muffins. They are on the healthy end of muffins (sometimes including ground flax seed) until I spread on a heaping amount of buttery goodness!
I do, I do I do (want the paper cups I mean!)
This post reminded me that I hadn’t made muffins in a long time!
I love blueberry, but I am thinking I’ll try to make a blueberry leomon.

I love apple cinnamon muffins
Blueberry…just plain blueberry!
Oh my favorite is Banana Chocolate Chip! My youngest child is 20 and I have been baking these for years! Healthy (well sort of) and a little sweet too!
In the fall, fresh out of the oven homemade melt in your mouth pumpkin spice muffins sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and if I’m really, really bad, drizzled with a lite glaze.
I’m pretty sure my favorite comes down to two muffins. My aunts Cranberry muffins that she makes every year on Thanksgiving for our muffin feed in the morning, and Strawberry cream cheese muffins. YUM!!! :)
I love them!! My favorite muffin is blueberry with crunchies on top, loaded with melted butter….
Apple cinnamon

My favourite muffin would have to be the tea cake/strudel kind. Blueberry, apple, strawberry? It doesn’t really matter what fruit is used, as long as there is a strudel-y top.
I Love Chocolate Chip Muffins!
How ADORABLE!! The smallest things make me happy!!!
Carrot walnut with cream cheese. Of course the frosting takes it more into the cupcake category, but yum!
Oh I hope i win. LOVE this giveaway. I would have to say… plain jane blueberry!!
My favorite muffin has to be blueberry cheesecake…mmmmm! :) :) :)
Nothin’ makes me and my cup of joe happier than a Morning Glory muffin.
I haven’t tried it yet…but I think a chocolate/blueberry muffin would be soooooo gooooood!!! Maybe that’s what I’ll do when I get home from work today…
Banana nut!
Cherry-almond. YUM
My very favourite muffins would be my mom’s homemade crumb muffins – chocolate chip muffins with an amazing crumble on top! Yum!
Those are adorable! And I’m going to give your muffin recipe a try. I’ve got bananas AND blueberries this week. Thanks.
Susan.
Orange cranberry! Oh, oh, – I forgot Double Apple Fan-Tans! Chopped apples in the batter, cinnamon-nutmeg sugar crusted sliced apples on top – oh yumm!
I LOVE PW’s blueberry muffins! They are unbelievable! I would love to try these paper pans. I think they would encourage me to bake and give instead of bake and eat =)
Amy
Lemon Poppy Seed. Definitely Lemon Poppy Seed.
it would have to be blueberry, or maybe chocolate chocolate chip, hard to decide!
pumpkin!
My current favorite muffin is a “donut muffin” that is so yummy. I’m also sneaking ground flaxseed in it because the kids don’t know any better. Now I’m just waiting for it to cool down so I can make another double batch to have on hand!!
Banana muffins with pecans! YUM!
Hmm, if I was forced to chose, I’d probably pick pumpkin muffins as my favorite.
My favorite muffin has to be banana nut, so tasty!
