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!
Blueberry-Crumb! Delicious!
I love the paper pans they are really cute. My favorite muffins are chocolate with chocolate chunks. Mmmm chocolate……
My favorite muffin is Lemon Poppyseed…:)
bbllluuueebbbeerrryyyyy……!!!!!!!!!
Blueberry! Which is why I HAVE to try this recipe!!
Lemon poppy seed! These are so fun!
I’d have to say my favorite is a coffeecake muffin…full of cinnamon and streusel! And IF there are leftovers, they freeze so well!
So many possibilities though Raspberry Ginger comes to mind first.
My favorite cupcake would have to be double chocolate chunk. nothing wrong with chocolate!!
blueberry with butter
Those pans are SO CUTE!!! The questions is hard… I love a classic like cranberry orange with some turbinado sugar on top so it’s crunchy… but I also love the crazy stuff like lavendar honey. Whatever, give me a muffin, I’ll probably love it :)
I’m fairly boring with muffin selection my fav. is choc, choc chip :P
My favorite muffin is actually this muffin that we had at the Hilton in Rome. It must have been some sort of cinnamon spice type muffin with a serious raw sugar topping, but the hubby and I just call them “crack muffins”. I wish I’d been bold enough to ask for the recipe before we left!
Hmmm… That would be a toss up between a blueberry muffin and a cheese struesel muffin.
Now, if you mixed those two together, that would be heaven! Yum.
Banana chocolate chip..mmmmmmmm
My favorite muffin…wild huckleberry! I pick wild huckleberries every year and after making jam I make sure to have enough to eat all year long. They are so great in muffins, love the tartness of them.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chunk!
My favorite muffins are the chocolate chip ones that my husband bakes for me every Saturday morning. :)
Blueberry!
Banana Nut! Gotta love them! What cute papers, just bite size, perfect!
Those pans are awesome!!
My fave muffin is carrot cake – with cream cheese frosting!
oh that’s not tough…Raspberry Almond
I love a muffi we have at my work it it coconut raspberry, they are great any time of the day!
Oh, those look terrific! Love the recipe too….one of my favourites is cornmeal muffins, yum!
My Favourite Muffin?
Lemon Poppy-seed!
Actually anything with those two flavours..
Lemon,Cranberry with poppy-seeds sprinkled on top.
Lemon, Blueberry poppy-seed. Yumm..
Lemon, raspberry with walnuts and poppy-seeds on top.
Cinnamon struesel!! Yum!
My favorite…Hmmm- that’s s hard one- I t would have to be blueberry muffins with a crumb topping.
My favorite muffin would have to be banana-walnut muffins. I’m a sucker for anything banana!
My favorite muffin is those maple flavored ones from costco I want to try to copy them!
Wow I would love to try them out!!! Great idea, didn’t think they would be that sturdy!
Blueberry! With loads of fresh berries!!
OOh, thinking of muffins and teeny tiny pans! Gift sized baking pans made of paper! Talk about a few of my favorite things!
Please pick me, I get into far too much trouble when I go into that store. My favorite muffin is a mini chocolate cashew w/dark chocolate chips, yum!
Cranberry!!
That’s a toughy….I love Bran muffs, blueberry muffs, and Chocolate Chocolate chip muffs. I can’t just pick one!
my favorite is the Malt-o-Meal muffin printed on their box. I use brown sugar and cinamon.
Double Chocolate Chip muffins are my favorite. They are the least like muffins and the most like cake, which is a huge win in my book!
I love anything with chocolate, but when it comes to muffins, it’s all blueberry.
Tough choice – either raspberry/white chocolate chip or blueberry.
Cran-Raspberry Cream Cheese Muffins! mmmmm :)
Chocolate muffins, any kind with chocolate!
Epicurious.com has a great cinnamon-blueberry muffin recipe that I adore. . .
A local coffee shop used to have a blueberry cornmeal muffin that was amazing. Of course, they no longer make them (apparently, not everyone has my love of everything cornmeal), so I’ve been trying to recreate them…
Pumpkin Spice muffins are hands down my favorite, but I feel like I’m doing something wrong if I eat them during the spring and summer… so when it’s hot out Lemon Poppy seed muffins get to think they are the favorite for a little while :)
banana cranberry is the bombdiggity ;p
my favorite type of muffin would have to be a coffee cake muffin or any type of muffin with streusel and cinnamon in it!!!! DELICIOUS!!!
Blueberry!!!!
i love banana!!! no nuts please!!!!!!!
hmm… i’d say blueberry.
apple cinnamon….
NOM NOM NOM NOM

My favorite is banana walnut with a crumb topping.
Cappuccino muffins!! Yummers.
Poppy Seed! Slightly sweet with a mild crunch! Yumm-O!
My favorite muffin is either double chocolate, carrot with cream cheese icing or banana nut with crunchy top! Thank you Bakerella for all the awesome recipes and ideas :-)
my favorite would be…banana chocolate or raspberry chocolate muffins! YUM!!! o
I love a choc. muffin. But homemade, banana nut is my favorite! Tuesday is my birthday, it would be the perfect gift, and consider I’m sick in bed and have no voice…it would really make me extra happy!
Chocolate Chip and walnut muffins!
This is so FUN! I love Banana Nut Muffins, but Blueberry muffins are a close second!
I loveeee strawberry muffins with whipped cream on top! yummm. I realize it’s about as close to a cupcake but they are so good!
chocolate!
Oh – man!
Well, we’ve been on a low carb diet for our wedding so we made some blueberry muffins with Splenda & almond meal – they turned out wonderful, very low carb & taste just as good as regular blueberry muffins! Those have overtaken our house!
Definitely blueberry!! Hot out of the oven….yum!!!
Hands down…cranberry!

I love orange muffins! So yummy. Anything with chocolate is fine, too!
Chocolate chip muffins with a sugary topping are my favorite :)
Love any kind of muffin with a crunchy streusel topping (no nuts though)!
My favorite is Banana Crumb Muffins, from allrecipes.com. My future daughter-in-law made them for me the 1st time, and I was extremely impressed. And she was so proud to have made something that impressed her future mother-in-law, who is an avid baker!!! I have made them many times since, and always get compliments!!
I would have to say… lemon poppyseed or chocolate depending on my mood. Sometimes a nice juicy blueberry muffin suits me well too. You know… I could probably eat any kind of muffin and be happy :)
Apple – warm from the oven, granny smith apple!!
those are SO CUTE! I love a good, moist lemon poppy muffin.
My favourite muffin by far is Pumpkin. A freshly baked batch for me always means that Fall has started and I can look forward to Thanksgiving!

Definitely positively banana nut muffins! Or maybe blueberry. Although apple cinnamon are good too. Hmmmmm….
Has to be raspberry.
Blueberry lemon or cranberry orange. I love a little citrus in my muffins.

Definately Cranberry-Orange! But I love blueberry too… The paper pans look like a great idea, especially the ones with the lids.

Sounds more like a fantasy cupcake, doesn’t it?
Mmm…what muffin don’t I like?! I think my favorite is a chocolate muffin with big chocolate chunks! Love these paper pans…especially the ones with lids! How adorable!!! I’ve gotta get some of these!
I have a great oatmeal muffin recipe that is the best!
That IS a tough one! Eep! I’m going to say pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, but banana and blueberry are both right up there. Man oh man I love muffins of any kind, realy!
I’d say lemon blueberry!! =)
My favorite muffin is Passionfruit, macadamia nut with shredded coconut.. O so yummy..
hmmm! toughy! i would have to say my fave is butterscotch pecan… more dessert than breakfast but so yummy! :)
the best muffins i ever had were in la piedad, michoacan, mexico. they were, i think, sour cream muffins with a cream cheese filling. i used to walk to the bakery on saturday mornings and bring them back for all my roommates while they were still piping hot. that was six years ago, and i still think about those muffins.
Morning Glory or banana oatmeal muffins
Every Thursday I treat myself to a yogourt cappuchino chocoloate chip muffin at the coffee shop I go to every day. I love Thursdays!

Banana nut has got to be my absolute favorite, but cranberry orange is a close second!

I once tasted a very yummy strawberry muffin but I haven’t been able to duplicate it since. I will forever be on the search for them.
My favorite muffin is easily the orange cranberry muffin… which is strange considering I’m not a very big fan of cranberries… Second favorite would have to be chocolate chocolate chip muffins… i love chocolate…
I’m simple. I love blueberry muffins always. but I have a new favorite too, Cranberry Orange! Yummo!
i’m a sucker for sweets, so i’d say chocolate chip yum!
Favorite – strawberry- or maybe peach- or maybe pumpkin with a little cream cheese spread- too hard to decide- I don’t know if I have met very muffins I didn’t like :o)
BLUEBERRY MUFFINS for sure! Hmm Banana blueberry? That’s something I have to try
Strawberry Blueberry with some strawberry cream cheese :)
I love muffins that contain sugar. And butter. Flour is optional. Have a good one!
Love these paper pans. They are great at Holiday time! I’d have to say my favorite muffin is one I just made last week. Oatmeal chocolate chip. They were a hit with the family.
Blueberry’s my favorite!!
I love oatmeal muffins made with buttermilk,brown sugar, and oats. Great way to start the day.
I love blueberry muffins with the sugary struessel on top! So yummy!
banana nut!
Mmmmmm. I would have to say either warm banana nut or double chocolate! I might have to go make some right now! These paper pans would be perfect for when one of my kids’ teachers is having a rough week. They don’t have to worry about returning the pan and I’m able to use something prettier than foil. I love them!
pumpkin,,,always
Blueberry with streusel topping! Mmmmm!
Apple, carrot, coconut muffins, YUM!
I love chocolate chip muffins.
Mine are definitely bran-raisin muffins. So dense and chewy, and sweet without being too sweet. Perfect start to any day!
What awesome pans! I’ve been wanting to try paper pans for years now, ever since I saw them in the William Sonoma catalog ages ago, lol. My favorite muffin is pumpkin struesel :)
Mocha Chocolate Chip are my favorite! Yum!
What happens if you enter twice?
My favorite muffin is a corn muffin, sliced in half and grilled in a pan with butter. When I was little, my mom and I would walk to our local 5&10 and sit at the counter . I would choose a corn muffin out of the muffin case and the lady would put it on the griddle. I’d eat it with a glass of the best chocolate milk ever. Now I want to make corn muffins.
Baking isn’t my strong point. Many times, my cakes don’t release from the pan. These paper pans could be the answer for me. Thanks for sharing!
Homemade chocolate chip banana muffins. No nuts are invited to this taste party.
Heat them up a little in the microwave before eating and its pure bliss.
Without a doubt pumpkin cream cheese muffins are the best!
banana nut muffins are my favorite!
I would normally make homemade muffins, but I’ve been diggin’ Fiber One Blueberry muffin mix lately. Nummy and a quick grab breakfast for my kids on the way to school.
I have never tried banana blueberry muffins before! I will definitely try this recipe! (: Thank you!
My favorite muffin is either blueberry or double chocolate chip muffins! Delicious! :D
OH MY GOSH.. those are so cute… and what fun things you could bake in them….
Thanks for a chance to win!
I love to eat a good moist Bran Muffin, but I love to make Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins for my son because it makes him so happy he hums when he eats them!
My favorite are bran muffins with raisins. I love a sweet, moist, dark bran muffin. Yum!
Blueberry muffins with orange zest….yummm. Or Carrot Cake Muffins (it’s totally a muffin if you just dunk it in frosting).
Asking me for my favorite muffin is like asking me which is my favorite child or my favorite white shirt. I have six children and probably close to 30 (I actually went and counted and I have 31) white blouses. My most recent favorite muffin is a “Best Ever Blueberry Muffin” & the cinnamon muffin at Corner Bakery. I’m sorry. You only wanted one and I cannot possibly choose between the two. :) I’m very new to your blog and I love it. The paper muffin cups are adorable. If you like bigger muffins…try reusing tuna cans after you’ve eaten the tuna. They make really cute larger muffins.
Favorite muffin… raisin bran muffins made using the cereal and buttermilk! When I was little my mom always made them, so they’re probably my nostalgic favorite. Other favorite would be anything with a streusel topping!
Mmmm…..chocolate chip muffins are the biz!
Coffee cake muffins!
Banana crunch. Hands down the best.
How clever!
Strawberry Muffins are my family’s favorite!
A local bakery here makes pumpkin cream cheese muffins to die for. I could eat one every day!
Simple banana with no nuts.
I love bran muffins with raisins! Yum!
My favorite muffin is definitely honey bran, or blueberry, or carrot walnut, or no maybe lemon poppy seed….I can’t decide. Let’s just say I love them all!!
Chocolate Chip. Mmmmmmm.
My favorite muffins EVER are Morning glory muffins!
Double chocolate chip, without a doubt!
Pumpkin muffins. They are amazing.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins – those DEFINE fall for me. I love them!
Any muffin that is homemade…It wouldn’t hurt if it has streusel on top.
im more of a cupcake person but blueberry muffins gotta be my absolute fav
banana nut!!! l love them!!!
Blueberry Crumble muffins are my favourite, the crispy, crumbly topping is amazing!
this might be weird..but i like to eat muffin tops. everyone knows there the best part!! why bother eating the rest …blueberry tops..yum

All Bran bran muffins are soo good. And I like to think they are healthy too.

I sound like an old fart when I say this, but I love bran muffins…without the raisins.
I love carrot muffins! Especially with raisins. I bet they’d look adorable in those paper pans!
My favorite muffin ever is a bran muffin I had years ago. It was amazing, and I’m still trying to find a recipe to match its flavor…
favorite muffins…..that a hard one…id gotta say cinnamon-banana!!! yummmmyyy!!!!!!!!!!! Hope I Win!
A coffee shop near my father-in-law makes what they call Burbury muffins. Despite having one every time I visit, I still haven’t identified all the ingredients, but for sure there is cocoanut, raisins, carrots, and walnuts. It is almost like carrot cake, but darker and with some sort of whole grain. Yum. Good thing we are visiting again soon.
I would have to say that my favorite muffin would be the classic blueberry with a crumble topping. YUM. Especially if you pair it with some left over chick-fil-a ice cream! Amazing. These paper goods are adorable, very user-friendly.
My favorite muffin is a traditional blueberry!!
LOVE the paper pans!! Happy to know I’m not the only one who gets excited about tiny paper things :) and carrot muffins are my fav.
I love Poppyseed Muffins:) YUMMY!
I love muffins. If I had to pick, a jumbo chocolate, chocolate muffin would top the list.
I love all of their paper products!!! YEAH!
I love blueberry bran muffins. Yum!
Well, if you had asked me BEFORE I read your post I would have said Blueberry. But now it might be blueberry/banana!!!
Gotta go get some blueberries now and try them out!
Cinnamon streusel!!
blueberry crumb. the best!
I love cinnamon muffins (I love anything cinnamon, come to think of it), especially the Simply Sinful Cinnamon Muffins recipe on King Arthur Flour.
Tough call, but I think the classic, blueberry muffins are the best!
Well, I have room in my heart and my tummy for all muffins, but my favorites are banana nut and blueberry, yum!
My favorite muffin is a Blueberry one that has sugar crystals on top. yum!
mmmmm….. lemon poppy seed by far!! And these paper pans are SOOOOO great!!!! Gonna have to get me some of those :)
Chocolate chip is the only way to go! Blueberry is very second close.
It has to be blueberry with a crumb top! YUM!
Favorite? Do I have to decide on just one!?! I’ll go with Pumpkin… I look forward to fall so I have an excuse to make pumpkin flavored everything, from lattes to pancakes!
Blueberry with a brown sugar crumb topping. Though the blackberry crumb muffins I made last night are pushing to be a favorite too! It’s the crumb topping. Ohhhhh….
Dorie’s coffee muffins. I add dried cherries and bittersweet chocolate chunks. Yum!
I loooooove chocolate chip muffins! Simple, but oh so delish!
My favorite is blueberry!!
Mine would have to be the blueberry with crumbs and sugar on the top baked to perfection!
