Silicone Mickey Mouse Muffin Pan

I love to bake. I love it even more if it is Disney related, of course. So I was pretty excited when Disney offered the Mickey Mouse muffin pan on disneystore.com. If you like making Mickey shaped goodies, then this pan is for you!

It is made of silicone, so it is very flexible. The flexibility can come in handy, depending on what you are using the pan for. It says it is a muffin pan, but to be honest I have yet to make muffins with it. I use it to make Mickey Mouse Rice Krispie Treats® and I love how they come out!

There’s Mickey!

The muffin pan really is great. I use it all the time when we are having guests or if we are going to a party. It can be a little tough to clean, because of its texture and all the nooks and crannies of the Mickey head. With the Rice Krispie Treats®, the flexibility really helps with popping these out. It can be hard to keep Mickey’s ears on right, but since you can basically turn the muffin pan inside out, Mickey stays intact.

Unfortunately, Disney does not have the muffin pan available on the website right now. I checked Amazon and it looks like they have a bunch being offered by different sellers. This one has Prime available with it (6 pans left, at the time of writing) and the price seems reasonable ($23.97 at the time of writing). I am not sure if Disney is going to get this back in, it’s possible they will, but if you don’t want to wait you can order one from Amazon. I wouldn’t go over $24 dollars though. It is very cute and makes fun treats, but I saw someone selling one for $35 plus shipping. It’s cute, but it’s not that cute!

So, if you are looking for a fun way to make some Mickey Mouse treats, I highly recommend this muffin pan (at a reasonable price). It’s an easy way to make some fun treats for the kids (and adults)!

Happy baking!

Mickey Mouse Tea Kettle

Posted on October 14, 2014 by Liz

Autumn is here and it is the perfect weather for a good cup of tea. So what better way to enjoy a cup of tea than with my Mickey tea kettle? We have an electric tea kettle, but the Mickey one is so fun to use and I love the design of the kettle.

A close-up of the hidden Mickeys on the kettle.

As you can see from the picture, the design is a little more subtle than some other Mickey Mouse products. It is part of the Gourmet Mickey kitchen line on disneystore.com. Don’t get me wrong, I love the mouse, but all that red and yellow would be a bit much for me. When I looked on Disney’s website for a kettle like this, they had two different styles. This is the other style.

While it is very cute, I prefer the subtle touches of Mickey. The Gourmet Mickey tea kettle is not available right now, but they do have this style, which I believe is called the Best of Mickey Collection. They do have other Gourmet Mickey products on the website, so they will probably get the tea kettle in again. I would think at least around Christmas they would restock them.

So, is it a good tea kettle? I like it. I mean, it’s not as good as a handcrafted tea kettle, but it doesn’t take long to heat up (when the heat is on high) and it keeps the water warm for a while after you take it off the burner. The paint has held up nicely too and I have had it since February.

The top of the kettle is a tight fit, to keep the heat in, so it can be tricky to get it closed sometimes. There are three points along the side of the top that are raised and you have to make sure all three of those points “snap” down. I’ve started to boil water and realized that the top is only partially “snapped” down and then I just take it off and make sure everything lines up and it is completely on. The top of the kettle also has a cute Mickey icon on it. Still understated, not in-your-face Disney.

Something else to note, the handle does not fold down. Not a big deal, but if you like handles that can fold down, just be aware this one does not do that.

Mickey tops the kettle. So cute!

The spout of the kettle is not spring loaded. It will stay open once you open it, which is nice because you don’t have to keep holding it. It can get hot, so just be careful when opening it.

Now, for my favorite part. You know how most tea kettles give off the high pitched whistle when they are ready? This kettle doesn’t exactly follow that tradition.

Of course they would make it sound like a train! Walt had such an interest in trains, I think he even had one in his back yard (how much fun would that be?!). So it makes perfect sense for it to have a train whistle instead of the high pitched, traditional whistle.

I looked on Amazon and the kettle is available…for $61.97. I like the kettle, but it’s not worth $62. So, if you are interested in purchasing the kettle, I would recommend watching disneystore.com for them to restock it. I’m sure they will get it back in at some point. The price on Disney’s website is $39.95 plus s + h. The holidays are coming up, so you can always put it on your wishlist!

Off to enjoy my cup of tea now.

New Haunted Mansion Items Available Online!

Posted on October 7, 2014 by Liz

Good morning!

Just want to pass along some info for all the Haunted Mansion lovers out there. I get emails from Disneystore.com, because I spend way too much money there, and today the email was about the Haunted Mansion line. I love that Disney has expanded their Haunted Mansion merchandise. The new store, Memento Mori, opened recently and offers all sorts of fun items related to the Haunted Mansion. You can find the store in Liberty Square in the former Yankee Trader space.

Unfortunately, I won’t be able to get down there for a while to check it out. So I was happy to see that disneystore.com offers some of the products now! There are a lot of fun things. The hitchhiking ghosts ornaments may have to make their way onto my tree this year. There is also a wooden Madame Leota sign that looks pretty cool. They have costume tees for men and women, kitchen towel sets, a very dramatic (but cool) looking mirror, pillows, and so much more. Even Jim Shore has designed a figure for this line. Love his stuff!

So, if you are a fan of the Haunted Mansion, head over to disneystore.com to check out all the Haunted Mansion goodies! If you are going to Magic Kingdom and happen to get some pictures of the store, feel free to send some of those pictures my way. I can put them up here and, of course, you will get credit for them 🙂 Happy Haunting!
