new silicone baking molds

so as you can see, im pretty serious about this baking thing. im constantly on other food blogs trying to find exciting recipes then modifying them so that you can eat them and look pretty. yes yes i know youll thank me later. but you know its bad when i get complaints that i spend more time with my oven than real breathing human beings as of late. in my defense that was LAST month. im balancing things just fine now thankyouverymuch!

unfortunately, im not the best (cup)cake maker in town. its quite disappointing to me, actually. i still openly blame my oven (we are getting a kitchen remodel, which means new appliances come summer!) but i guess its completely my fault when i think measuring utensils are just cute as opposed to useful and highly underestimate the amount of baking powder so my cake is an unrisen mold of heated batter. or interchange baking powder and soda without even raising a brow. yes yes i have quite a ways to go to reaching my baking pinnacle. but im learning every step of the way!

so in an effort to boost my (cup)caking baking self-esteem, im going to buy some new toys for my kitchen! check them out!

heart shaped le creuset silicone molds! arent they just precious? they will be perfect when my newborn niece (i think today!) is old enough to eat chocolate baked goodies from her auntie!

dont be surprised if you get some heart shaped cupcakes on your doorsteps! theyll be from me!

i also some some savarin (pronounced [SAV-uh-rihn, sa-va-RAN ]) molds on sale, and i figured id try them out! i wasnt sure what savarin is, but my lovely friend mel told me that they are sort of like pound cake. ive never purchased anything on hsn before, but i figured i dont have much to lose because i know that its a reputable site. and they were on sale!

as you can see, they are almost sold out in the yellow color!

im so excited to receive my new silicone bakeware! ill keep you posted on how much i like these. i just like the idea of molds and shapes and colors. its so fun!

I've always wanted to try out those silicone baking pans. Always amazed no one ever thought of them before now. Tell me how they work. I think I might get a set for my mom.
