Muffin Madness

"Muffin Madness" is a very fun meeting idea, used regularly by a group of my friends for their get togethers.
If you are always looking for a fun way to spice up a brunch or is a family friendly adult party idea, here you go!
This also make a great school event. Our elementary school hosted an annual "Muffins with Mom" morning before school. The kids loved having mom come in for breakfast, and the moms enjoyed getting to come share some time at school with their child and the other moms too.
Planning Your Party
Here are some creative tips for your Muffin Madness event:
- Have several people bring muffins, and ask each to bring a different variety so there will be a wide assortment of types.
- Let's not just stick with blueberry muffins either. How about cranberry, zucchini, carrot, strawberry, lemon poppy seed, or even chocolate chip muffins?
- If you are a fan of the great TV show Seinfeld, you might also include a batch of muffin tops! (Use a Muffin Top Pan to get the most out of your batter!)
- Bake muffins in cute cupcake wrappers
- Use cupcake stands and towers to set a really attractive table.
- Another fun idea is to have everyone who brings muffins also bring a stack of copies of the recipe. As a matter of fact, if you have the recipes in advance, you could collect them and publish into a themed cookbook to give at the event as a remembrance.
- Include other baked items at your party. You could also include donuts or coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls and breads.
- Coffee, tea, fresh juices and fruit will also go over especially well and compliment the muffins being served.
