Team Pride in the Kitchen with FanPan
Football season may be drawing to a close, but this is also the time of the year when the biggest games with the best teams are played! This Holiday, give the football fan on your list a gift they will really love, one that celebrates their favorite team, a pan from FANPAN! As an Auburn graduate, it was only natural when I was offered the opportunity to review FANPAN™ that I chose ones for Auburn University! And after last Saturday’s game, what Auburn fan would not want to show their team pride all year round!
FANPAN™, part of Bakins Ventures, LLC., makes unique, silicone bakeware specialized to the collegiate market. They have three different pans, each of which are available in a variety of shapes (logos) and colors
You can choose your pans from any collegiate team whether they are part of the SEC, the PAC 12, the ACC or any of the other college conferences. Choose from the FANPAN™ Silicone Cake Pan & Stand, FANPAN™ Silicone Muffin Pan or the FANPAN™ Silicone Ice Cube Tray – or get all three! They also make Silicone Oven mitts!
FANPAN™Silicone bakeware is refrigerator, freezer, and microwave safe. Unlike most bakeware, silicone can withstand abrupt temperature changes such as that which occurs when placing a pan from the freezer directly to the oven.
It can also withstand temperature ranges of -76°F to 450°F, and provides even heat distribution. Since the pans are so flexible, they are known for providing easy release of all foods whether baked, frozen or refrigerated. Plus, they are dishwasher safe!
Each type of FANPAN™ is a multi-use pan that is perfect for cakes, cupcakes, muffins, brownies, and more. They can even serve as a mold for salad, gelatin, ice cream, ice cubes, candy and chocolates. They also make fantastic serving dishes!
FANPAN Auburn Cake Pan and Stand
This Auburn cake pan and stand (aff. link) is the perfect way to show your team spirit! Use it for cakes, gelatin molds, candy molds and more, or just use it to serve up different foods! Since silicone is so flexible, it comes with a stand that makes it easy to place in the oven and remove. Just remember, the stand is metal and it will get HOT!
FANPAN Auburn Silicone Ice Cube Tray
The FANPAN Auburn Silicone Ice Cube tray (aff. link)is great for more than just ice! I plan on using it at our upcoming SEC championship game party for serving ice cubes, jello molds and homemade chocolates! Since it is made of silicone and very flexible, it is recommended that you place it on a cookie sheet when placing it in the oven, refrigerator or freezer.
FANPAN™ Generic Paw Print Silicone Muffin Pan
Although they also offer an Auburn Silicone Muffin Pan, I love this Generic Paw Print Silicone Muffin Pan (aff link) in blue (Auburn’s colors!). This can easily pass as Aubie’s pawprint, giving fans a variety of Auburn logo designs.
So far, I have made muffins and cupcakes in this pan, and I love how big and thick they turn out! The silicone also allowed them to cook evenly all the way through. Since this pan does not come with a stand, it is recommended that you place it on a cookie sheet for stability.
So How Well Do FanPans Work?
Once the muffins and cupcakes were done, they were extremely easy to remove. Following instructions, I had first sprayed the pan with some non-stick cooking spray, then after baking, I waited until they were completely cool to remove them from the pan.
They literally popped right out when I flexed the pan. They look exactly like tiger paws in shape, with their slightly rounded tops and each pad on the bottom of the ‘paw’ so well-defined! Too cute!
I’m a Fan of FanPan!
My FANPAN™ bakeware is quickly becoming some of my favorite pans. Not only because they show my school and team spirit, but also because of their versatility. I love that any of the pans can be used for baking, refrigerating or freezing!
Plus, the food comes out so easy, and once I am done with the pan, I can throw it right in the dishwasher. I cannot wait for our upcoming party where I can serve some of the best looking foods in support of the Auburn Tigers!
You, too, can have the most amazing food ever at your football party or tailgating party when you serve up treats made in your favorite teams’ FANPAN™! To order, visit the FANPAN website or Amazon. Be sure to also connect with them on Facebook to see other people’s creations, and to keep up with the latest additions, promotions and more!

Wow I love these! They look like so much fun. I have had some silicone bakeware in the past and I haven't really looked at it again. These I might need, I'm certainly going to check them out.
