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!

Chocolate chip….or maybe apple streusel….ooh, and orange-cranberry YUM!
My mom’s blueberry muffins are my favorite. It never ceases to amaze me that she COMPLETELY eschews the proper technique for mixing muffins and they turn out perfectly every time.
“What do you mean mix wet and dry separately? JUST THROW EVERYTHING IN THE BOWL!”

Not too hard. Banana nut. Or carrot. With cream cheese frosting. I’ve never done it, but I have a friend who bakes muffins and tops them with cc frosting for “birthday morning cupcakes” for her kids. Always thought that sounded like a great idea. Felt like sharing. I want those cute papers! :)
Homemade Blueberry. My guilty secret? …. I LOVE the fruit & fiber muffins from McDonalds here in Canada.

Definitely plain old blueberry. But it’s gotta be drowned in fresh, local butter… that’s my idea of heaven.
Blueberry. (That almost came with a “Duh,” but I am too polite for that.)
