i love presents! (who doesnt?)

so with my birthday just around the corner, i got an early present yesterday. even though i already knew what it was it didnt take away from any of the excitement. i asked my mom if it was okay to open it, again....even though i knew what it was, since it is a gift from my parents :) (thanks mom and dad!!) now little miss loves presents just as much as the next kid and when she saw it she goes "oh wow! its from grandma? can we open it?" trying to explain to a 3 year old that a present is not for her is a whole other entry, so of course she got to help! when we got it open i was a little disappointed....there was another box...my first thought was...did they do this mean trick on purpose? and after getting though the next box it was well worth the wait. and not that stuffing/filling muffins or cupcakes are even that hard, but this cool handy dandy toy will make it just that much easier! the red tips sit in the mix and when the muffin/cupcake bakes around it, it will leave a nice little hole in which to fill with yummy goodness....think peanut butter muffins stuff with strawberry jelly in the middle and over the top.... i cant wait to try out my new toy! tough decisions ahead....what to make first?






on a very funny but kind of disturbing side note.....i couldnt remember the name of the pan when i was telling my mom about them, so i just googled muffin pan with silicone tips....you would (or maybe you wouldnt) be surprised at what you find if you google silicone tips :)
