Earth Day Treats version 2.0

April 24, 2012 | Uncategorized

Today Grant’s class celebrated Earth Day.
I’ve been needing an excuse to learn how to bake with clay pots.
{It seems like all the rage, ya know.}
I was delightfully surprised at just how easy it was…
So I present to you…..my very own Baking with Clay POTS step-by-step guide.
{Before we begin…let me let you in on a tip. If you are in need of the mini clay pots, check Hobby Lobby.  They package their clay pots in groups of 6.  And chances are…half of those 6 will be broken.  Which means…you take up your packages and tell the manager you want/need a discount.  You’ll hopefully score like I did.  I paid $3 for 24 clay pots total.  Otherwise, they would’ve been $2.27 for a package of just 6.  So I learned my lesson.  It never hurts to ask the manager for discounts.}
Before baking the cupcakes, make sure and wash the pots with soap and water and dry completely.

Since the pots contain a tiny hole at the bottom, you’ll want to cover this up.  You can use parchment paper to do this or….as I did….you can use a mini muffin liner that fits down there perfectly.

I used just a regular ole boxed cake mix.

Fill the pots 3/4 full of batter. 

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the pots on top to bake.

You’ll bake as the back of the box directs…however the baking time will take a tad bit longer.
Pots will be HOT when coming out of the oven.
Make sure they cool completely before proceeding with the next step.

It should look like this now:

Honestly…how SIMPLE is that???
The possibilities with these cute little pots are endless!  I’m already planning out my next project with them!
