The Big Top Cupcake Review and Giveaway!
I have joined Nancy from Penny Pincherholics in bringing you this wonderful review and giveaway of The Big Top Cupcake. If you're an avid baker or know someone who is, this is the giveaway to enter. Read on for more details on what deliciousness was ensued in Nancy's kitchen and how you can get one of these awesome bakeware sets for yourself.
I'm sure I speak for all the dessert lovers out there when I say that there is no better way to satisfy your sweet tooth than with a ginormous cupcake. When I heard that I was given the opportunity to review the Big Top Cupcake pan, I was beyond ecstatic. All of the possible frosting flavors and fillings came rushing through my mind and I couldn't help but feel a sense of giddiness knowing that I'll be having a cupcake that's 10 times the size of a normal cupcake in my possession. Can you imagine?
So when the Big Top Cupcake arrived at my doorstep, you already know what kind of excitement I was feeling. As usual, I ripped open the shipping box, grab the packaging out, and start reading everything from cover to cover. I wasted no time taking it to the kitchen and putting it to use. My husband looked at me like I was crazy because I had this huge smile on my face I almost looked crazy. Yes, that's what baking equipment does to me. Is that weird?
I decided to make an English toffee buttermilk cake with a sweet orange glaze to drizzle over it. The thought of it made my mouth water and that only got me to working faster. So, my ginormous cupcake adventure began....
With the pans lightly sprayed and the batter all ready to go, I finally popped them into the oven and waited (im)patiently for the results....
Doesn't it look yummy? The directions were so easy to follow and it came out just the way I wanted it to. A couple things that I did to make everything run as smoothly as I expected were to spray the pans very lightly with non-stick spray and level out the cakes when they were out of the oven and cooled. The directions mentioned this and I followed it to the letter....I'm glad I did because things worked out perfectly. The pans are very sturdy and can stand up to the heat without getting warped or damaged. The best part is, it's refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher safe! So convenient.
I have to say, I think I've found a new baking toy. There are so many possibilities with this pan and you're not limited to just making it look like a cupcake. As you can see above, I simply did a glaze drizzle to show hopefully show you how it looks when they come out of the oven. Next time, I'm thinking of doing a cute little bee hive. Oh the possibilities....
I am absolutely ecstatic that I had the opportunity to try out The Big Top Cupcake. It fit so perfectly into my lifestyle that I couldn't be more happy about doing this review. And guess what? This review is not the only thing that came with this awesome bakeware.....there's a giveaway too! You all have a chance to win one for yourself. I can feel the excitement from everyone as I'm typing. I know how you feel, trust me. One lucky winner will be a proud owner of a Big Top Cupcake. All you have to do is complete the tasks on the rafflecopter widget below and you're all set for a chance at winning!
Giveaway starts Sunday June 17 and ends Sunday July 1. Open to US and Canadian residents only.
Have fun, good luck, and enjoy!

How I Got a Week's Supply of High Quality Toilet Paper for Free
A few months ago I signed up with a survey site called MindField Online Internet Panels.

So, if you're interested in making a little money, and gaining a chance to try out new products, sign up at MindField to get started!

Busy, Busy!
I want to thank everyone for taking the time out of their day to read the things I put on my blog. Life is very busy for everyone, and I appreciate everyone's interest. Since I recently started my blogging journey, I have been busy with giveaways, finding new projects, as well as hunting for freebies that I come across. All in all I can say that this is a very fun experience for me, and I cannot wait to bring more interesting tales to all of you. The last three or four days have caught me by a loop, so to speak, mainly because I need to get organized. Between loving and caring for my little guy, cleaning a fish tank, doing a little freelance work, trying to clean up the yard, I have begun new university courses. So, the blog has suffered a bit as far as new content.
Yesterday I was outside clearing our patio. Over the past two years or so we have collected every piece of scrap metal, intending to sell it. Most of the time we sell some here and there, collect some here and there. Needless to say the yard is always in some state of disarray. Last week I had enough, and began making steps to sell everything in the yard that was worth anything, and get it ready for gardening. I would put a "before" picture here, but I would feel like I'm airing out my unmentionables for everyone to see!
When I get the place cleaned up, I will be taking more photos, and sharing my mishaps with you, my readers. I have a good amount of materials I can use to recycle into my gardening efforts, so I will be making use of them where I can. As always, I appreciate comments, criticisms, and advice, just as long as we all respect each other. Thanks again for stopping by!
