Silicone Baking Mat - Eco Baker Review + Giveaway

I love to bake I'm sure I mentioned that a time or two! So when I was able to review EcoBakers Silicone baking mat I was very excited. Most people think a baking mat is just for cookies but it's perfect for anything that may stick to the pan. Which is everything i cook for sure.

With the Baking Mat you don't need to use oils or cooking spray because the mat does the work for you.  It also saves you from needing parchment paper and aluminum foil that will save you money and it will help the landfill! Eco Baker's mat was precisely molded to fit baking pans like no other. 

What I really like is no scraping or soaking that pan that has food stuck at the bottom. The Baking Mat is easy to clean just hand wash and let it air dry.

I love that the silicone is super safe  baking material so you can rest assured that not funky weird smells will creep into your baking delight

It also comes with a LIFETIME WARRANTY! So if your ever in need of a replacement you will get a new mat at no additional charge, with free shipping as well. Talk about NO stress buying. If only everything could have that kind of warranty!

Love Cooking Company Fill N Flip Pan - Giveaway

I love to bake and I'm always exited to try something new and innovative. I would love to have my creations look professional but I have never master that.. yet. This pan was so intriguing to me because I would never have made a filled cake at my house but now I can try it and probably succeed.  I love doing reviews for the Love Cooking Company because their products are all about baking and making it easy to come up with different creations.

The Fill N Flip is really unique because you just bake the cake as normal and it is already scooped in the middle to allow for the filling.   I thought this would be so nice for my children's birthday but I will have to research how make filing. My first thought was a pineapple "upside down" cake since I don't eat a filled cake. But lets face it I don't eat pineapple upside down cake either. But my family will eat any type of cake and my husband loves pineapple upside down. 

I was so anxious to use these pans when they came in my first day off I jumped in the kitchen. It just so happened my children were ALL sick with sinus issues and were home with me. So I gathered all of the things I needed to make a cake and we were ready to go. 

We measured and mixed and poured the batter in the pans. Baked them and when them came out I was so excited and happy the first one pop out with NO problems. 

Well from the picture you can see maybe I lied there were a few problems because the top stuck. But hey everything else looked beautiful. So I flipped the other one over and half popped out the rest was UGH was still raw in one section. Since it feel apart so i could not put it back in the pan to continue cooking. 

So being me I threw the wasted part away and started again. My kids were super excited and I was having fun with them. No more chocolate cake batter but I'm a sucker for food coloring. My youngest suggested a purple, green, and gold cake. I figured why not Mardi Gras is almost here that should be fun.  So we measured, mixed, dyed, and baked. 

Open the oven and it's beautiful. Yay!!! 

Go to flip it over.. Oh crap I forgot to grease the pan. Wait maybe that won't matter I tried to shimmy it out. But no go it crumbled and fell apart. So I'm very sorry to say we have no fished product to show ya'll. But we had lots of fun trying and everyone ate the pieces of cake for a treat after supper. 

Please don't let my lack of professional baking skills make you think this pan is not amazing. I really is. I will get it right eventually but I didn't want to hold up this giveaway. 

Because Love Cooking Company is giving one of you the chance to win your own Fill N Flip Pan so I have to go over the rules:

Kitchen Made Stainless Steal measuring cups

I love to cook and as I'm sure you know with the right tool everything goes smoother. I was very happy to review a set of Kitchen Made Stainless Steal measuring cups for ya'll. I have a set of measuring cups and I have a set of the bigger measuring cups that are plastic and the numbers have washed off. I find myself squinting and moving around to get an accurate measurement.

They are made by out of one piece of heavy duty stainless steel so the handles will never break off and no bending or rusting. They are hygienic and FDA approved. The set of six includes the following sizes: 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4 and 1 cup. Measures in mls for liquid ingredients and the numbers are engraved so the numbers will not come off and they are very easy to read.  They can stand alone with no fear of them dumping because the underside is completely flat. I also love the pouring lip because it makes it easier to get all of the ingredients out with less mess.

These cups are great and very heavy.  My husband picked them all up and said wow you could knock somebody out with these. Don't get me wrong you don't need to be a weightlifter to use them but they have some weight to them which is a good thing. It just means they are durable and sturdy. I was very happy when I saw they are store super easy because they fit neatly inside each other and do fall over. The ones I had before tipped over when they were all together and would fall out of the cabinet at me.

I have used the cups numerous times now and they wash very easily. They have not rusted, faded, or chipped. I have not put them in the dishwasher, and I don't THINK anybody in my house has either. If they did they cups are still in perfect condition.

They come with a lifetime guarantee and a free recipe eBook packed with 25 delicious recipes. I'm always looking for new things to try so the recipe book is exciting to me.  How things change, who would have ever thought a cook book would be exciting to me?

Oven Art Bakeware Silicon Muffin Pan

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I'm sure I have mentioned before I love to bake I just wish I had more time. My children love to bake with me it's a great bonding experience and we have lots of fun. I have always seen silicon pans I have always wanted to try them just never got around to it. Until Oven Art choose me to review their Silicon Muffin Pan.

It is shaped just like a traditional muffin pan but instead of metal or ceramic it is silicon. So you can imagine it is pretty flexible and squishy. But no worries it is designed to be that way. Silicon is such a great idea for baking because is cools fast and will be cool to the touch within minutes of removing it from the oven. Then to remove the goodies from the pan all you have to do is pop them out with your fingers. You can use it just like any other pan even if you don't use cupcake liners all you do is spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Despite being silicone and a little squishy the pan is NOT flimsy and is a lot sturdier than I expected. I would recommend using 2 hands to take it out of the oven because the batter does weigh it down a little.  I like that the pan cools down so quickly and cleans so easily. No more soaking and scrubbing. I know some my old pans are very hard to clean because the batter sticks everywhere. I give this pan 2 thumbs up.

Love Cooking Company review and giveaway

I don't know if any of you know this about me but I love to bake. Sometimes I use it as time to relax, some times it is a fun activity to do with my children. We actually bond over cookies and cupcakes and have fun doing it.  When I got the Mrs. Fields Half N Half Cooking pan, Sto N Go Dessert Carrier, and Scoop N Cut Cookie Tool from Love Cooking Company I was so excited.  The first day I had off I took the opportunity to bake cupcakes in my Half N Half cupcake pan. I didn't even wait for the kids to get off of school, I in fact wanted to surprise them but I ran a little too late. They walked in on me pouring the batter and their eyes got extremely big. I had dyed the batter pink and purple for the girls, orange and green for the boys.

The cupcakes were a huge hit with my children but I can see them great for any occasion.  I already have green and red planned for Christmas and black and orange for Halloween.  When I asked my children to rate the Half N Half  on a scale from 1 - 5 one said a five another said 12.  I'm not sure if they meant it the way I took it by I would give it more than a five if I could too.

The Half N Half although very simple, it's a cupcake/muffin pan with a separate
plastic removable piece that has a divider in the middle for the mix.  It is a genius idea it's one of those things that makes you say, why didn't I think of that. You may think to yourself I don't need that . Why would I want to make cupcakes that are different colors. But it's not just colors you can easily do strawberry chocolate cupcakes. If you are a muffin eater, this can be used for muffins too can't decide what flavor you want? Have them both in one muffin.  The pan is a great quality and all the cupcakes baked quickly and evenly. It was super easy to wash and as you can see I'm very messy! All the excess came of with warm water and a sponge no scrubbing required.



With holidays around the corner Mrs. Fields Sto N Go and Scoop N Cut Cookie tool are perfect to bring homemade treats to everyone you visit.  With the Scoop N Cut there is no guessing when it comes to cookie measurements. When I do cookies they come out different sizes, one is huge the others are little. When that happens they don't all cook evenly.  All you do with the Scoop N Cut is scoop some cookie dough and drop it on the pan. There are two sizes to choose from but either way all of your cookies will be even. The middle doubles as a cutter for the cookie dough that is in a roll. Then to carry them, the Sto N Go is perfect. It is made of a very sturdy plastic and has two adjustable shelves. it lays horizontal and the handle is on top so you carry that way as well. you can also use it for brownies or other treats.
