Big Top Giant Cupcakes for Holiday Baking Mania!

Category: Kitchen and Cooking — admin @ 10:46 pm

Big Top Cupcake – even MORE of a good thing!?! Cupcakes are a hot item in the part of the world I live in, So-Cal. There are whole bakeries devoted to just cupcakes, and they are pri-cey. Worth it of course, when you feel like having a $7 cupcake – which for me, is not REALLY all that often. We have friends that had a cupcake wedding cake, and another friend whose last birthday cake was cupcakes. Which leads me to thinking, if a little cupcake is GOOD, then a giant cupcake MUST be that much better! Right?

Big Top Cupcake Giant Cupcake Pan

Check out the Big Top Cupcake Silicone Baking Pan – it is 25X the size of a regular cupcake! It bakes the giant cupcakes in two seperate pieces so you can mix and match flavors and even add fillings! Use the special filling insert (included) to hide a secret surprise inside of each and every Big Top Cupcake – fill it with mousse, pudding, whipped cream or even ice cream!

Buying cakes gets expensive, and old after a while – everyone goes to the same stores after all. Why not bring something totally original and fun!? Everyone loves cupcakes, and now you can make a unique giant cupcake to feed everyone! Circus Tent, BeeHive, Giant Kitten, Christmas Tree!! The possibilities are endless, but in case you run out of ideas the Big Top Cupcake Pan comes with the Fast & Easy Idea Book AND as a Bonus you get a set of 3-D animal cookie cutters to populate your Big Top Cupcake Circus! Get great ideas from the photo gallery here.

With the baking holidays just around the corner, start off with some fun Halloween cupcakes – Black Cats, Giant Pumpkins, Scary Witches, - let your imagination run wild!!! Kids love cupcakes but SO do adults, let’s be honest. And decorating is just an excuse to have candy around, am I right?

So, in anticipation of the upcoming holidays, I am thinking of purchasing a Big Top Giant Cupcake Pan and working my way through some Giant Holiday Cupcakes, finishing up with a Fourth of July Rocket Cupcake Extravaganza.

The Perfect Brownie Pan for Perfect Chewy, Gooey Brownies Every Time!

Category: Kitchen and Cooking — admin @ 4:18 pm

I love baking, especially brownies, so I am really excited about the Perfect Brownie Pan I have seen on tv. If you haven’t seen the ads, the Perfect Brownie Pan is an 11 X 17 non-stick baking pan with a removable bottom, collapsible sides and a non-stick grid that you insert into the pan after you pour in the brownie mix. The 18 squares of the grid mean each brownie bakes individually and comes out perfectly square with the delicious crispy crust on every side. Yum!

I don’t know about you, but I hate when a beautiful pan of brownies that I’ve made for a get-together turns into a pile of messy brownie chunks because they tore when I tried to cut them. The gooier they are, the harder they are to make look nice. Sure they may taste ok, but when you are competing with Martha Stewart wannabes, brownie chunks just don’t cut it.

So, back to the Perfect Brownie Pan.  It comes with The Gooey, Chewy Recipe Booklet so you can started baking right away. For those of you who are Brownie-bakers-from-scratch, good for you. Applause, applause. Personally, my favorite brownie “recipe” is on the back of the ”No-Pudge Fudge Brownie Mix,” box! (Tangent: No-Pudge is a delicious low or non-fat boxed brownie mix that I first found at Trader Joe’s but now I see in Ralph’s’ baking aisle.  There is no butter in the mix, so depending on your tastes you can use non-fat sour cream, non-fat yogurt, or applesauce for people who are avoiding dairy. My husband is a hater of all things healthy and low-fat and he loves these brownies, so I highly recommend trying them if you are watching the fat and/or dairy. /Tangent)

Enough tangents, I am going to talk about the Perfect Brownie Pan! One of the features I really like is the fact that the pan converts to a serving tray and display stand for your finished masterpiece. Simply remove the grid, drop the sides and voila! a pedestal to display your Perfect Baked Goods.

The Perfect Brownie Pan is not just for brownies either – it works as a regular baking pan for all kinds of  baked dishes – cakes, lasagna, casseroles, or use it as a cold tray for delights like marshmallow treats. Once you are done preparing these or many other delicious recipes, simply use the grid to slice it into perfectly proportioned servings. Yes, the non-stick surface of the grid will slice cleanly and easily through the gooiest marshmallow treats! Best part, the entire Perfect Brownie Pan is dishwasher safe. How easy is that?

With the holidays coming I know I am going to be doing a lot of holiday baking, so I think I will get myself an early present and try out The Perfect Brownie brownie baking pan. It actually also comes with a set of ten decorative stencils for extra-fancy desserts. I’m thinking Santa might be extra-nice if he gets one or two Perfect Brownies and a tall glass of cold milk; but just in case, I’ll be giving Santa the gooiest, chewiest, fullest-fat brownies I can make.

Order now in time for the holidays: The Perfect Brownie Pan, Chewy, Gooey Recipe Booklet, and set of Ten Decorative Stencils for only $19.95 + shipping and handling.
