I’ll be the first to admit I’m no pastry chef.  I’m someone who watches youtube videos and scans pinterest for super cute ideas and think “Yep that’s really cute but I’ll never be able to do that” or “yea mine would come out looking like the creature from the black lagoon”. So anything that can make help my baking skills is welcome in my home. The kids and the hubby rarely complain when I try to bake but I’d like to put something out that’s…just a little more than my usual.

Love Cooking Company has 3 pans that will make the outcome of your normal baking skills look like you kicked it up a notch.  I received the following pans to try from Love Cooking Company:

The PushPan  is a 100% watertight and leak-proof cake pan with a patented silicone-lined removable base making it perfect for cheesecakes, pies and more! An alternative to a spring-form pan, you simply place the pan on something sturdy, press the sides down, and voila – the perfect cake! The PushPan also comes with a 25 year warranty

The Mrs. Fields Cutie Cakes  pan creates 48 bite-size cakes when you need a small amount of something sweet. It’s ideal for savory options, like mini corn dogs or potato pancakes. After you create your tiny treats, just pop the pan in the dishwasher.

The Mrs. Fields Fill N Flip  is the easiest way to make a layered cake and create a surprise center that everyone will love. Once you bake your cake, add filling to the side with the large opening, place the non-filled layer on top, and enjoy! Plus, the pan is dishwasher-safe, making clean-up a breeze.

The first one I tried was the The Mrs. Fields Cutie Cakes pan.  One box made A LOT of these cutie cakes.  Cutie cakes are like micro mini muffins.  As I was taking them out of the pan I had the idea that they would be perfect size for our elf on the shelf or a fairy garden.  So I gave our elf Christopher his own cutie cake.  My 6 yr old got a kick out of that.

They recommend using a pastry tube to put the batter into the cupcake molds.  Probably would have been much easier but I don’t have a functioning one so I spooned it in with a teaspoon.  Took a while, I mean there’s 48 of them and I made 2.5 pans full with one box mix.  But I was impressed how easily each and every one of them popped out.  Not one of them stuck to the pan.  They turned out really cute and the kids loved them.  Good way to get a taste without all the calories of a full size cupcake too!  Now if only someone can make something to make my icing job look better…

Then there was the fill and flip pan.  I was most excited to try this one.  This one seemed like it could be that step up from my normal baking skills if it worked.  I made a yellow cake and decided to fill it with peach pie filling.  I topped it with  a whipped cream frosting to make a, sort of, peaches and cream type of flavor mixture.  I know it sounds dramatic to say I’m in love with a baking pan but this is probably the closest I’ve ever come to exclaiming “I love this!” whilst baking.

The instructions did say to grease and flour the pan which I did. Again the cakes just popped right out of the pan, no sticking.

Lastly you can see the Push Pan in action in this video:
