Paper Pans

IMG_0367

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!

IMG_0392

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.

Blueberry Muffins
Yield: 12-15 muffins

Yummy Blueberry Muffins

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

  • 1 cup fresh blueberries (rinse and pat dry)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line tray with muffin cup papers.
  2. Sift flour, baking powder, salt and sugar together with a wire whisk.
  3. Add butter, eggs, bananas and vanilla. Mix on low until just combined.

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!

  1. Excellent packaging loved, for the gourmet refinement only enhances the value!

  2. coffee cake, is my favorite cake ever

  3. Adoro bolo de banana, faço muito no Brasil!! Bjo!

  4. My favorite is Blueberry, Lemon with a Blueberry and Lemon Glaze; sometimes I just sift a little Confectioners Sugar over the top, then at times, I’ll just let them be naked on top.

  5. These disposable cake pans are great. However, they do have one drawback, the COST. Don’t get me wrong, I do buy them, especially around the holidays for gift giving. There are some absolutely beautiful ones, however, the cost can really start to add up pretty quickly. It would be nice if they were reasonably priced. Oh, by the way, my favorite muffins are WARM ones. I can love just about any of them as long as they’re fresh and warm from the oven. It’s just about like ice cream, I have a VERY hard time deciding on a favorite.

  6. zucchini and poppy seed are my favorites!

  7. my absolute fave muffin is a warm and gooey right out of the oven blueberry muffin mini perferably

  8. Wonderful epxalantoin of facts available here.

  9. I love raspberry lemon!

  10. Orange Cranberry! Yummo! No matter the season, they are perfect!! :) lots of other favorites, but these top the list for sure!! :)

  11. Where can I actually buy these paper pans? They look really cool.

  12. Lemon Poppy Seed! YUM!

  13. Tried it, ate it. Yummy!!! It was the best muffin ever ^^

  14. yay finally got round to some baking today and this recipe came in handy thank you so much xx

  15. oooh, just baked these up as muffins, half with nuts, half chocolate instead of blueberries – so lovely! brilliant consistency. I found my batter far too dry though (might have been the heaping cups instead of levelled ones) so I added an extra banana. divine. thanks xx

  16. hmmm, I’ve never tried bananas with blueberries. . . . but I will now!

  17. Say what if your kids didn’t like bananas can yo put blueberrys and strawberrys together

  18. Such a yummy recipe! I tried it last week and it turned out perfect. There’s a post about it on my blog today (with a link to this post). If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link: http://naomemandeflores.wordpress.com/2010/10/04/delicinhas-da-semana-2/

    Thanks for the recipe!
    Love,
    Camila F.

  19. If I choose to ommit the banana, would the other ingredients remain the same?

  20. I made these today for a champagne brunch and they turned out really well! They could have been a bit sweeter, next time I’ll add a bit more sugar. While they were still hot, I buttered the top and then sprinkled sugar over them. Next time I’m going to find denser sugar or crush candy sugar to top them with!

  21. Hi bakerella
    I would like to know where I can purchase those pans that you made the blueberry babana muffins in. I do Monday Munchies for the teachers at my son’s school and these would be
    perfect.
    thanks Looking forward to hearing from you.

  22. I love a good lemon poppy seed muffin! Yum!

  23. I just wanted to let you know you made me smile today. =)

    My grandparents went and picked blueberries this week and gifted me a gallon of them. I thought, “What on earth am I going to do with all of these?”

    I hadn’t checked your site in a few days and was thinking, “I bet Bakerella has got some good blueberry recipes!” Lo and behold, this is the most recent post, that I had not read until now! =)

    My favorite muffin has always been (and probably will always be) lemon poppyseed
