I try to keep baking basics in my pantry at all times: vanilla, flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder, honey, cinnamon, wheat germ, chocolate chips, dried cranberries, oats, and nuts.
That way, when one of my friends is in a funk or has the blues, I can bake something...and then present it in a fun way.
Baked treats are also great for those last minute times when you want to celebrate the people in your life - birthdays, hooray-you-got-an-A on the spelling test, congrats on your new job, etc.
Wilton is my go-to shop for baking boxes, bags, and accessories. They offer a wide variety of products at affordable prices.
For Example, check out this Brownie Gift Box Kit. It's $2.99 for 3 boxes. Just bake up some world-class brownies, place one in each box, and deliver them to friends, coworkers, or teachers in your child's classroom. These Caramel-Pecan Brownies from Allrecipes.com look decadent and delicious.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you prefer to bake cookies or melt-in-your-mouth candies, you'll like the versatility of these Treat Boxes ($3.19 Pk./3). These simple white window boxes are particularly fun for kids because you can dress them up with stickers and markers. Below you'll see the Happy New Year boxes we made for our next door neighbors in early January:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For lollipops, gumdrops, and peppermints, these Clear Treat Bags are just the thing. You get 50 for $2.89 so they're a real steal.
These Sugar Coated Pecans would be perfect inside.
Or you could make Crock Pot Chocolate-Peanut Clusters.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally, if you'd like to give a healthier treat, you can bake mini loaves of blueberry zucchini bread or buttermilk cinnamon bread or another bread of your choosing using Wilton's AvantiEverglide metal-safe non-stick 4 cavity mini loaf pan ($21.49).

My daughter and I love baking brownies and cookies. Wilton has great products.
I make awesome chocolate chip oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies. I want to learn how to make my mom's dill bread, since it is so, sooooo awesome.
I love to make King Arthur Flour Brownies. http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/fudge-brownies-recipe
Would love this - I just baked my first bread the other day and it turned out really good - it was a banana bread!
Thanks
The brownie gift boxes are cute! Great giveaway!

I love making caramels, they're easy and always a big hit. This recipe is fool-proof! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Caramels/Detail.aspx
I always bake cookies or brownies for friends who are expecting family for the week-end, just for fun, or for times someone has had a death in the family. It would make the presentation of the gift so special in these gift boxes! I love the idea. I will be getting these for future use.
I like to make banana bread (no online recipe). thanks for the contest.
What great ideas, we usually bake gift baskets at christmas for gifts but your right that would be a great thing to do anytime of year for when a friend needs cheering up,a sports win for your kids and all other occasions you can think of. I love the gift boxes how convenient we usually tape christmas wrap over a smaller boxes and this is so much easier and prettier :)
I like that the pan has oversized handles.
I got a madeleine mold pan from my sister last year and have been making these yummy orange madeleines!
http://www.bettycrocker.com/recipes.aspx/orange-madeleines/7e438a94-05c0-4c88-a999-c4725e1c0b43
I have never seen small treat boxes like these, how neat, such a great idea for the kids classes.
I love Wilton bakeware products. I would love to use this to surprise my sons with yummy after school snacks.
i love their products. my mother-in-law has a few and she is very satisfied.
I like to make either blueberry or banana bread mini-loaves for people. easy to make and they can be froozen for later!
What a great idea to put the treats in the white box with window. My kids can decorate them for my parents! :-) They would love that! Love Wilton!
I love Wilton products. Those little treat bags would come in handy for the chocolate lollipops I am making for my girlfriends baby shower.
couponsiwant(at)verizon(dot)net
My friend made some heart Valentine brownies for our a party we had, it is amazing to me how cutting the brownies with a cookie cutter, adding a little frosting swirl and putting them in a clear treat bag tied with ribbon made them so special. It was not that much work, but they looked so much cutter than regular old brownies on a plate, sometimes just the little time and thoughtfulness go a long way.
I made chocolate lollipops with my students. They loved them. Hopefully they made it home to their parents so that they could enjoy them too. It is fun making something for someone.
I was thinking about opening an Etsy shop and those boxes are something that I would buy for my homemade treats. If I had the opportunity to try them out first, I would definitely purchase them in the future. Plus I absolutely love the Wilton brand because their pans are so reliable.
I love making baked goods and sending them off with fellow moms! This would be perfect for me!
I'm always making baked goods for our cheerleaders....they <3 me ok..maybe they <3 my cuppycakes and cookies...
We make trufles, banana and zuchinni breads, cookies, brownies and fudge. Oh, and I made hubby a cheesecake last year for his birthday that was a huge hit. Instead of using a graham cracker crust, I used peanut butter cookie dough. Everyone loved it.
I could start a tradition with this and give a baked good for every gift I give
I love to bake muffins and hand them out to everyone.
I love to bake especially if chocolate is involved
I love Wilton products! My favorite things to bake are cupcakes. But I love baking cakes and decorating them with my 3 year old son!
I love to make a chocolate chunk pecan pie. I got the recipe off the internet but don't remember where I got it from!!
I like wilton products they have a really cute mini flower silicone baking sheet that I wanted to get to make some mini cakes for spring
singermagic1(at)yahoo(dot)com
Chocolate chip cookies! They taste and smell awesome, and everyone loves them.
I like to make rum cake. Thanks.
I love to bake.. homemade goodies make great gifts
I often make goodies for my husband's grandfather, who lives alone and has been going through a rough time. It'd be so nice to be able to gift them in those brownie boxes, and to make something new too! Thank you for the giveaway!
Baking is the only cooking I do anymore, so this would be great to have! :) And the cookies in that picture look great! :)

I like making banana bread. The mini loaf pan would definitely be fun to make smaller, one portion loaves!

I'd love to try using that pan. I can bake four diff. sorts of cakes/loaves at one time.

I think the mini muffin pans are great I plan to send in an order soon
love those mini loaf pans
After making the effort to make something special and homemade for someone it really is a shame to put them in poor packaging. These little gift packages are the perfect touch.
Gosh, reading this post made me hungry! I usually bake something for our neighbors for Christmas gifts
My favorite thing to bake for others is banana bread.
I love to bake treats for gifts! I think most of the recipients appreciate it too. :)
I'd love to have these... I could use a new pan, most of mine were hand-me-downs from my GRANDMOTHER (and I'm in my 40's). lol
I'm making some raspberry (muffin) mini loaves if I win this!
I love making pumpkin chocolate chip bread for others, partly because I love to eat the extras so much myself :)

Oh wow these would be perfect for my up and coming house warming party for the favors to be put in for the guest to take home with them
How fun! I love all the items. I'm a big food gifter. I think my favorite baked item to gift is banana bread. I did cookies this past christmas, but I think next year I'll do muffins.
Thanks for the great give way, it made me hungry though! I bet this is prefect for experimenting in the kitchen!
My favorite thing to bake is anything out of a box. Mainly brownies. Now my teenage daughter is the real baker of the family with cookies, cakes, cheesecakes. Yum.
I love baking, I even took the Wilton decorating classes at Joann's...so much fun!
I love the mini loaf pan. It is so adorable. Wilton products are the best and I would love to win this.
We love to bake- some of our faves are snowball cookies and white choc macademia- in the process of switching blogs up so no links now, sorry.
wilton makes the best products! i love them and i love baking
i always make sugar cookies with my cousins and my mom and aunts we love baking together every year. its fun and cheap to give out the gifts
These would be so great around Easter to give out to family and friends!
I would like to make the Buttermilk Cinnamon Bread in one of the mini loaf pans. [email protected]
I love baking but don't have the right pans anymore. My favorite things to bake are cookies and brownies. With a lot of birthdays coming up for my family, packaing baked goodies in those wrappings would be nice gifts.
I love to bake and this year due to the economy I will be giving bake goods for gifts this Wilton set would be perfect to have it's awesome!
:) Thank you for the wonderful giveaway! :)

I really like the 4 loaf pan and the other goodies-this son't go to waste with me! Thanks!
I've been wanting a mini loaf pan forever!
Baking is one of my favorite pastimes. No wonder I'm about 40 pounds overweight. But I'm not complaining. It's terrific therapy and it puts smiles on all the recipients' faces.
These are great, and thanks for the possibility!
bgcchs(at)yahoo(dot)com
The 4 cavity mini loaf pan would be perfect! For the holidays, I generally bake small loaves of lemon bread and this would really make it easy!
I'm still trying to make the perfect brownie, maybe this can help.
[email protected]
I give baked goods as gifts all the time, especially at holidays, even "little" holidays. I usually go the cellophane route, or sometimes the baggie route when packaging--but those little giftboxes are way cuter!
I am going to make treats and give them away. I mean, once you have the gift boxes, you have to make the gifts, right?
These kind of pans are good for when I make some banana breads or pepperoni rolls
I work at a public library with a small staff (almost all women). We work very hard from May through August serving the public with our summer reading program. To thank these ladies for all their hard work I bake treats for them each week. Boy do they disapppear in record time.
I love baking cakes for other people
I love to bake cupcakes for my family. Here is one of their favorite cookie recipes. I don't have a blog.
1 box of gingerbread mix
1/3 cup of water
1 cup almonds or other nuts
1 cup raisins
mix everything and bake for 350 for 10 minutes.
What fun ways to share your baked goods! We do like to bake at home too and I do think it is fun to share them with others.
This will improve my baking skills
Looking forward to trying the items above..
Steph those looked yummy! you guys did a great job. p.s- I love your kitchen!
I like to make carrot bread. I use any recipe, but add grape nut cereal to the batter-tastes wonderful!
smchester at gmail dot com
What fun products! My cousin actually made the Crockpot Chocolate Clusters for Christmas. They were really good and I could not believe that she made them in a crockpot!!
I would love to have the cross wilton pan for Easter.
i love mini loaves and would love to make some breads for Valentine's Day.
I enjoy making pumpkin bread from a friend's recipe.
weird chick online at gmail dot com
I could really use the AvantiEverglide metal-safe non-stick 4 cavity mini loaf pan. One of my New Years resolutions was to learn to bake bread! This would help out in my endeavor.
[email protected]
I would love to buy the Wilton Dinosaur cake pan to make my grandson a dinosaur birthday cake.
I love to bake - even more than cooking. I would love to have cute boxes to give out my baked goods. Perfect for the holiday season!
Cashew Blondies
These products look like so much fun! I would love to make a treat for someone and present it in these cute little boxes or bags.
I love this idea, and we always bake something special for our friends and neighbors!
This is perfect for me! I bake all the time and my friends and family count on my baked goods during the holidays. I am going to have to check this out!
subscribed too!
twittered
I love that you are doing this giveaway!! I was just stocking up at ACMoore and these would make perfect additions to my hobby!!
I just made a new recipe for Applesauce Loaf Cake over the weekend. My husband has demanded more walnuts so I can make it again already!
My favorite thing to bake and give are cinnamon rolls - delivered hot at breakfast time. I especially like to do that on Christmas morning :)
I love baking, and I love giving baked goods as gifts! I would LOVE to try some Wilton products!
I love to bake! People always are excited to receive baked goods from me as treats. It can brighten a day (of course, I love receiving them, too).
I love giving baked goods as gifts. These boxes would be perfect for packaging them.
My favorite thing to bake is my Grandmother's recipe for Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies. There is nothing like them!
Wilton is fantastic! I love their products. The gift boxes are a great idea. Thanks for the chance.
[email protected]
I love Wilton products for cake decorating. I borrowed a neighbor's mini loaf pans to make pumpkin chocolate chip bread a few months ago. I still have plenty of pumpkin puree in the freezer from the pumpkins we grew last summer. I would definitely make more of that bread if I had this pan.
I love this giveaway, especially the mini loaf pan. It's one of those things I've always wanted but never done, and I'd love it.
Thanks for the giveaway.

I love to make my mom’s chocolate butterscotch chip cookies
Wilton has been around as long as I can remember. I wish I had my mother's old Wilton bakeware.
dolniaks[at]consolidated[dot]net
A dear friend just had a baby. This would be a wonderful gift!
Love the individual loaf pans for bake and take gifts.
Wilton has some great products. I really like their cake decorating books too.
My 4 year-old daughter loves to bake with Mama. Baking for others is a great way to teach a heart that puts others first...and lots of fun, too. I love the idea of these packages and am thinking my daughter would have a blast decorating packages herself.
Never underestimate the power of a cookie!
-Cranberry Bread from Betty Crocker
-Brownies (Ghiradelli from a box)
-Peanut butter sandwiched in Ritz crackers and dipped in chocolate
I love to bake but don't need a whole batch of any sweet treats in my house. This is a great way to enjoy baking, and a cookie or two, and then pass on the rest!
I Love to cook! I remember my mom using Wilton when I was young
One of my favorite baked goods is beer bread. It's made with beer, but turns out non-alcoholic. It's super easy and quick to make, and you can do all kinds of varieties (rosemary garlic, cinnamon raisin, cheddar pepper, strawberry vanilla) with just the one basic recipe.
I'm pretty good at making peanut butter cookies.
I would have to say brownies and cookies...I'm still working on figuring out little tarts. Love the packaging that you've shown - it really adds an extra something doesn't it?
My favorite thing to bake for others is Chocolate Zucchini bread. Everyone loves it and it's so easy to tell when they want me to make it...they call me and tell me they have zucchini for me...even in the winter hahaha.
What a great gift these would make great little gifts for the kittleones in my meetup group. Thanks!
This prize pack would really come in handy for my son's birthday party. Thanks for the chance.
I could think of alot of uses for the four cavity loaf pan. To use for meatloafs or even rice crispy treats.
I love the brownie boxes, I've seen and purchased the bags but the boxes are really wonderful. This makes me want to do more baking, can't wait to read more.
I love these boxes. Great way to take treats to parties or events.
One that I bake for all of my family reunions is an Almond-Filled Cookie Cake. I've always been someone who loves almonds, ever since a little girl when I was picky with everything I ate. But with one bite - and to be cliche - it was love. :) When I found the following recipe online I knew it was something I had to have my loved ones try:
http://www.cooksrecipes.com/cake/almond-filled-cookie-cake-recipe.html
My 4 year old loves to bake - it is a great kid activity to help measure and mix - and she gets so much pleasure from sharing what she makes
I really enjoy baking so this would be great to have for my kids birthday parties.
Stephanie, those treat boxes, especially, are adorable! What a fun post -- and motivating. I'm going to make some brownies. (And I always add extra chocolate chips.) :)
I like to bake birthday cakes for everyone at work. I try to find new and unique recipes and I keep notes on who likes what so I can make it for their next birthday.
Baking with my boys is a favorite activity in this house - would LOVE those mini loaf pans!
Love those individual treat boxes. Those would be perfect for "secret pals" and Santas. Just getting that one little "surprise" can totally change your day from low, low , low to great. I'd definitely put something very chocolate-y in one.
One of my favorite treats to make are Kok:Cream Filled Pastry http://greekfood.about.com/od/dessertspastriessweets/r/cokes.htm
[email protected]
I love to bake. My pantry is always well stocked with the basics and my husband and kids are the happy recipients of the yummiliciousness. I just bought some new Wilton cookie sheets that I LOVE! Nothing burns or sticks to them. Fabulous!
I like baking fudge-marble cupcakes for others.
I love the idea of that mini loaf pan! I have a favorite fall bread recipe that would make great mini gift loaves. :) Thanks
The treat boxes are so cute! I like to share goodies but don't do it as often as I should outside of Christmas time. Those boxes would inspire me I think. I have given my mom and my SIL the mini loaf pan but don't have my own. I would love to win it! Thanks Stephanie for the fun giveaways and reminders or things I would like to be doing in my own life!
I love baking. I especially like making cookies, preferably something chocolatey! I also like making mini muffins too because they are bite size and are good for snacking. I'd like to make the Buttermilk Cinnamon bread! Thanks.
I love Wilton. They have the best variety of baking supplies. Their website is amazing.Thanks for the chance.
Our daughter just loves it when we bake. She insists on dumping all the ingredients in; although, she does need some assistance to keep from making a spill, etc. The last thing we made were vanilla cupcakes with buttercream frosting (real all-butter buttercream).
I love baking themed cakes and I've had great experiences using Wilton's shaped pans. They're affordable and create a great product, making it easy to make my baking look professional!
My favorite thing to cook for others is Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
My favorite thing to bake for others is cupcakes -- made with love and whatever cake mixes/frosting I have on hand. They're so easy to make and always appreciated :) *Thanks* for the giveaway!
My favorite thing ever to bake for people are cupcakes. I love making cupcakes and do it often! I don't have a link.
I love to bake goodies! I just got done baking cupcakes! Tomorrow is my little one's THIRD birthday and she wanted to make cupcakes and deliver them to her friends...so, she helped me mix them, I baked them, tomorrow we will decorate them together and deliver them!! I also love to bake cookies...my favorites are the good old fashioned Nestle Chocolate Chip recipe and the Chewy Chocolate Ginger Cookies that I posted on my blog a few months ago: http://lettners.blogspot.com/2009/12/thursdays-recipe-rodeo_17.html
I love to make my mom's chocolate butterscotch chip cookies. Yummy!
Kitchen time is some of the best for family bonding. My son loves to cook and actually wants to be a chef. I can hardly keep him out of the food!
We are getting ready to bake some zucchini bread for my daughter who is currently deployed on a ship for the Navy. Last we heard she was down in Haiti helping with the crisis down there.
I get in baking fits, which is appreciated by those around me but not my waistline. Which is still (ahem) recovering from having a baby. At least that's my story and I figure I have at least another year to use that excuse.
My favourite recipes are actually all online (http://recipes.phibian.com). Anyone who has read my blog's about page should be able to get past the password prompt, which became necessary after some moronic spambot decided to repeatedly edit the site so that chocolate cake ended up with beef brisket and garlic as ingredients. It was only funny the first time.
I could have taken away the edit feature but adding a password was a lot easier. So much to do, so little time!
Wilton always has such great ideas for yummy treats.
What the heck are you trying to do to me?! This is absolutely sinful -- and oh, so, yummy looking
:-) That mini-loaf rack is just the thing for me. I make banana bread almost every week. Yum!
I love to bake cakes. One that I tried last year that everyone loved was from Southern Plate.
http://lady-nightwater.blogspot.com/2009/04/busy-busy-busy.html
I have the link to Southern Plate on my site. If you haven't been there, she has some awesome recipes.
I generally fall back on chocolate chip cookies and pumpkin bread.
cheesecake is my thing i make
I have always wanted mini-loaf pans, but never think to ask for them when my birthday and Christmas come around. Thanks for the chance to win! :-)
Talk about timing ~ Just this morning I posted this idea for a sweet treat for teachers.
http://ittybittybookworms.blogspot.com/2010/02/valentine-treat-for-teachers.html
Keeping my fingers crossed!
I love to make banana split cake... no recipe yet on my blog, have been super busy with work right now..but it is basically a white or yellow cake followed by layers of cream cheese/vanilla pudding mix, crushed pineapple, bananas, cool whip, maraschino cherry and nuts!
I just stocked up on a new Wilton glass-bottomed cheesecake pan and some cake rounds (try to find those right before a holiday) but I love the idea of the smaller boxes. I think I may have to check out Wilton's web site later today!
I've been looking all over for cute containers to put baked goods in, thanks for Wilton's website! They have all kinds of different types.
Ooh those brownie boxes look great! That, and the mini loaf pans are great. I make bread for my dad every week, and it would be hilarious to give him a mini loaf as a joke!
In all seriousness though, I love making treats for my kids daycare teachers, and having them in those cute boxes that my daughter at least could decorate would be priceless!
No great recipe links though... most of what I make these days is from a box, unfortunately :(
I love Wilton stuff! I also love making baked goods for gifts. I remember making sweet breads with my Mom for teacher's gifts when I was little. Always so much fun!
never heard of Wilton- thanks for the tip! I love the cupcake boxes on their site... very cool. Thanks for this giveaway!
I love to bake...especially to share with others! One of my favorite things to do with my extra ripe bananas is to make Banana Crumb Muffings...so yummy!
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Banana-Crumb-Muffins/Detail.aspx
I love to bake, and my neighbors will frequently see the kids coming over with paper plates of treats. I'd much prefer to have something cute to put them in. If I'm in the dumps and want something quick and sweet to eat, I love dump cake (dump one can crushed pineapple and one can cherry pie mix in a 9x13 pan. Dump a box cake mix on top. Drizzle with one cube butter, melted and bake at 350 for about an hour.) Sooo good, but sooo bad for you!
Ever since I got a breadmaker, I've liked to give homemade bread to family and friends. Its fun to try different bread recipes.
I love these Blondie Brownies: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/blondie-brownies/Detail.aspx
My girls and I am always baking. We just had a tea party wed with brownie hearts and two kinds of scones. We always bake something special when friends came over but I love the idea of the pretty packaging so you can give them as gifts.
I love that you are doing this giveaway!! I was just stocking up at ACMoore and these would make perfect additions to my hobby!!
We are bread lovers in our family, but we don't
rule out other goodies! Many thanks, Cindi
My husband has to eat gluten-free foods and it's hard to get a decent cookie!! I make some chocolate chip cookies that are pretty good. I use the Nestle recipe on the bag, but I swap out my own complicated flour that's a mix of white rice flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, corn starch, and xanthan gum. It's complicated, but my husband loves it!! When I bring them in to work, no one knows they're gluten-free until after they're all gone!
I like to give foods that don't seem healthy but they are. Here are two favorites of mine:
http://colorado-mama-foodblog.blogspot.com/2009/11/vegan-pumpkin-bread.html
http://greenstylemom.blogspot.com/2008/08/lemonicious-zucchini-cupcakes.html
I love to bake my double chocolate brownies for my friends
I love making Chocolate Chip Cookies to share with others. I don't have the recipe online so I can't share it, but they are super nummy!
The blueberry zucchini bread looks so good. I have to try that recipe.
What fun ways to tell someone you care about them.
I have to check out the treat boxes now...
My de-stresser used to be baking... it's a little more stressful now since I have a one year old. I look forward to baking with him when he is a little older.
This reminds me... I have a bunch of bananas in the freezer waiting to be made into banana bread. And a new mom waiting to be the unsuspecting recipient. :)
I loved making bags of treats when my kids were in preschool. Now that they are both in classes hovering around 30 pupils, it's a little more than I'd like to take on for holidays.
Wow...this is such a great idea to spice up someone's day. My daughter is turning one soon and I might just opt for one of these boxes as a birthday favor. I will be purchasing some for sure.
Thanks Stephanie for this great find. I hope you enjoy your baked product. I am not a baking kind of person, but you have just inspired me.
Thanks....

Isn't Wilton great? Those gift boxes are a swell idea...I need to do more baking. You've inspired me.
drgarnecki at gmail dot com
My favorite thing to bake is cookies. The type depends on what I'm hungry for: peanut butter blossoms, chocolate chip, or sugar cookies are my favorites to make and share. Sharing would be so much more fun with those cute treat boxes.
I enjoy baking cupcakes:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/saras-secrets/magnolias-vanilla-cupcake-recipe/index.html
or these mini chocolate chip pancake muffins:
http://www.bakerella.com/mini-maple-pancake-muffins/
Both are delicious! The cupcakes are melt-in-your-mouth good! And the mini pancake muffins are a perfect breakfast treat. :)
By the way, if you've never made the cake pops from Bakerella you need to!! So cute! I made some for my sister-in-law's baby shower.
How cute are these gift boxes and packages?! I have never thought about putting treats in these things but you've sold me. I'm ordering some!
